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.
