Best Quality Pear Lab Created Diamond

 

The Pear cut Diamond also known as the tear drop has been a popular choice for decades because of its unique and its elongated shape which some ladies prefer for the old “it makes the fingers look longer.”

Its extremely important when looking at the Pear to consider what attributes make some Pears better than others. Due to the elongated shape the clarity and colour grade are both equally important when considering this cut. Finding a good balance between the two is the best place to start. It is a general recommendation to look for anything in the G colour and SI1 Clarity range or higher for the Pear cut. A qualified Jeweller is the best bet when looking to get advice on this shape as looking at a certificate alone sometimes isn’t good enough. Some inclusions are more noticeable than others. A good Jeweller will know what to look for here and be able to advise against inclusions that are black compared to clear. Black inclusions in the step cut are easily visible and take away from the beauty of these cuts.

When it comes to cut there isn’t a guide like there is with a round brilliant, however there are some recommendations that typically when followed produce a great looking Pear. With a length to width ration of 1.40 – 1.50, it’s a good bet you’ll end up with a excellent cut Pear. The higher the grade in symmetry and polish the better the Diamond so it’s preferable to have a grade of very good or excellent here. The Pear much like the Oval relies on the perfect ratio to get the best length vs width. As mentioned before and generally depending on how clients want their main stone to look a larger width will produce a wider look and a longer length will give the Pear a slimmer longer look.

While this shape has been a classic for decades and is most popular in a solitaire or with accents it is less expensive than the round brilliant. The Round Brilliant continues to be the most expensive of all the shapes dueto it’s waste yield…meaning it uses more rough stone to cut this shape compared to others. Some buyers have opted for a more ethically and environmentally sustainable Diamond alternative. The Pear Lab Created Diamond is grown meaning they are created and not mined making them 100% ethically sourced. When considering the huge social impact and environmental footprint mining can have, lab grown Diamonds are an ethical choice and often the only choice for conscientious couples.

Even though the Pear is less expensive than the high yield round brilliant it is still considerably more than the Lab Grown alternative which in essence is the same as natural Diamonds. Either way the Pear is a classic, elegant shape and whether looking for natural Diamonds or Lab grown Diamonds, this shape will continue to be in style.
