What to Know about Pear Shaped Wedding RingsPosted by carry on November 7th, 2019 When purchasing a pear shaped diamond wedding ring, it helps to know which attributes to look out for. That way, you can avoid pulling an Eve and picking the wrong piece! Cut – To minimize the undesirable ‘bow tie’ effect commonly found in pear shaped diamonds, ensure the diamond cut is as symmetrical as possible. It’s more aesthetic plus it returns more light and sparkle back to your eyes.
Clarity – As with color, any inclusions are more visible if they occur at the pointed end of the diamond, where there’s less sparkle and scintillation. You’re better off going for an ‘eye clean’ diamond with a clarity grade of VS2 or above.

Color – The pointed end of the diamond doesn’t reflect light nearly as well as the round part, so it’s more likely to reveal the stone’s true color. To avoid those ‘warmer’ yellow tones, opt for a high grade on the color scale (no lower than G).
Carat – The carat weight you choose will largely depend on your budget, but this is not the be-all and end-all. An increase in carat size will often appear negligible, yet raise the price significantly. Far more important are cut, color, and clarity in determining a diamond’s overall beauty.
