The pear shape is a combination of the marquise and brilliant cuts and comes in a variety of proportions and appearance – from long and slim to more of a wide cut. Due to the substantial variance in proportions of Pears, it is best to judge a pear shape individually and view it yourself rather than by stringent parameters. It is for this reason also that the Pear shape is not allocated a ‘cut’ grade on a GIA certificate.
As the Pear shape is an elongated cut, when worn along the finger, it has the added advantage of making your fingers appear longer and slimmer. In addition to this, when viewed face up, pear cut diamonds tend to look larger than other diamond shapes of the same diamond weight. For example, a round brilliant cut weighing 1.00ct might measure 6.5mm, whereas a pear of the same carat weight could potentially measure 9.7 x 5.4mm.
One thing to be cautious of when purchasing a pear shape Diamond is the bow tie effect. This is a shadow in the shape of a bow tie that is present in all pear shape diamonds, varying from near invisible to very noticeable. It is important to view a Pear shape diamond yourself to ensure the appearance of a bow-tie effect is minimal as there is no way to tell for sure based on the certificate alone.
