Pear Lab Created Diamond

 

The Pear shape Diamond or Tear Drop has been considered a fancy shape and a unique choice for many ladies opting for something different. Its gorgeous long shape is a combination of the Round Brilliant and Marquise shapes and is often worn with the point facing down the finger.

Its also a good idea to choose a Diamond with an excellent symmetry especially in this shape where the bow tie effect is prone to show. The bow tie is a darker faceting through the middle of Pears and Ovals which resemble a bow tie across the Diamond. While its hard to escape the bow tie altogether the effect can range in slight from very dark with most ladies opting for the very slight option.

Finding a great Pear shaped Diamond with a perfect length and width is often easier said than done. These particular shapes can very easily look too long or too short and often with too much curve or too much point. Finding the perfect balance is the key to finding a great looking Pear.

The Pear Lab Created Diamond is significantly less expensive than the same size, colour and clarity in a natural Diamond. When buyers are adding up the cost for usually the third most expensive purchase of their lives behind the house and car, it’s no wonder that the price is a huge draw card. Comparing one of the most popular choice for an Engagement Ring…the Round Brilliant, we see prices for a GIA certified G colour and SI1 Clarity in an Excellent cut natural Diamond exceeding $8000 Australian dollars. The same in a Lab Created Diamond is $4000. With a saving of 50% its an easy choice for most who still want the brilliance of a Diamond yet want to save money to put towards the house or honeymoon.

To lend to the price, the fact that they are identical in both look and feel is another benefit for buyers when considering these Diamond alternatives. The lab counterparts are a 10 on the Moh’s scale of hardness, which is the same position as natural Diamonds and due to fact that they are essentially formed the same way they are virtually exactly the same albeit just sped up by a billion years. This is quite a wait when comparing the process to create Lab Diamonds which takes around 25 – 30 days including the cutting.

If the price and the fact that they are virtually the same thing isn’t enough to convince, the impact they have on the environment compared with naturally mined Diamonds usually is. Lab Created Diamonds aren’t mined and therefore are completely ethically sourced and conflict free. This has such a huge appeal to young couples who are both environmentally and socially conscious of the way natural Diamonds are mined and produced.
