Wholesale Pear Cut Diamonds
Also known as the teardrop, the pear cut is a graceful hybrid of the round brilliant and marquise shapes. Its unique asymmetry, featuring a rounded end and a single point, offers exceptional brilliance and a flattering, slenderizing effect on the wearer.
About the Pear Cut
The pear cut, or teardrop, blends the round brilliant and the marquise into a single rounded end tapering to a point. It is one of the most versatile shapes, used in pendants, earrings, and elongating engagement rings, and it appears larger per carat than a round diamond. The classic length-to-width ratio runs from 1.45 to 1.75. Buyers should check point symmetry and screen for the bow-tie effect common to elongated brilliants. Anand Exports supplies pear-shaped parcels across the colour and clarity range, each GIA certified and conflict-free.
