Can You Stack A Pear Engagement Ring?
There are oh-so-many things to love about those perfectly pointy little pear-shaped diamonds. We love that high-key sparkle, and, let's be real, pears are giving the absolute most bang for your buck. How could we not stan?
But one question constantly pops up when we’re talking teardrop, “can you stack a pear engagement ring?” Sure, that odd shape looks incredible on its own, but does it play well with others? The short answer is yes, but the full story is giving so much better than expected.
Pointy Pears
If you’re thinking about picking a pear, it’s best to be armed with the fruity facts about this tiny shiny. First and foremost, pears are brilliant cut diamonds, meaning they are giving pure sparkle city. What’s not to love?
Pears are a bit more affordable on average than a round brilliant, and they also look bigger carat for carat. That’s a double W, thanks to all the glorious finger coverage provided by their elongated shape.
Additionally, that teardrop shape gives them an automatically unique silhouette that can be made even more interesting based on your chosen setting. While pears might not be the first thing that pops to mind when you think out of the box, they can certainly deliver the unexpected. While those are all exciting perks of pears, let’s get to the point. How does this sharp stone stack up with wedding bands, eternity rings, or anything else you may throw their way?
Hidden Holdup
Here’s the deal, anything can stack if you have it in the right setting, and pears are no exception. A higher setting is a great way to make it happen if you're into a flush stack. Hidden halos are the absolute tea for lifting pears and giving them all the clearance they need to get that seamless stack. As an added bonus, elevating the stone adds extra sparkle, making the stone appear larger. That pop of underside sparkle also adds dimension, contributing to pears being one of the more exciting diamonds to stack. Could we love it more? We think not.
Cute and Cuddly
We love a nesting moment. It’s easy to imagine a gorge band cuddled up to the bottom of a pear, but that precious point needs a little love too. Chevron bands are a fantastic way to accent the point of a pear. We love a chevron because it really brings the drama. That goes double when you’re accentuating the already dramatic length of the diamond.
As if it needs another selling point, adding a pointed band extends the sparkle and makes the diamond look bigger. That’s a major W.
Snatched to Match
Talk about together forever. Some stacks were just meant to be. If you’re worried your wedding band and engagement ring won’t have that snug stacked look, why not snag a matching set?
Sets fit perfectly because they were designed to be together. And, as a bonus, the shape of the diamond you choose doesn’t affect the aesthetic. So that pear will fit perfectly because the two bands were made for each other, literally.
Sets are great for anyone who doesn’t want a lot of negative space between the wedding band and the engagement ring.
Chonky Change Up
So you love a chonky stack, but you really want that pretty little pear? Who says you can't have both?
There is no limit to what you can put with a pear so long as you’ve got it in the right setting. Pop that pear into a hidden halo, so the center stone rides a little higher and stack it to the sky. Pears look amazing with chonky ring stacks. It might even be better than you imagined.
Pears are pretty flashy on their own. Stacking them with something stunning like an eternity ring really doubles down on the gorgosity. Check out this combo: The Eve 2ct pear stacked with an Emerald U Prong Eternity ring. Those Emerald diamonds add a cool bright flash to the brilliant sparkle of the pear. They add a unique and exciting dynamic to each other that truly makes this match unforgettable.
Pear Plus Pavé
One of the best things you can add to sparkle is more sparkle. So wouldn’t you know it, shiny pears pair excellently with pavé diamonds.
Pavés add oodles of sparkle, and they also make your center stone look a little larger. These delicate bands can slip right under the rock, doing all their magic while letting that pear shine on center stage. In fact, pears are such a strong centerpiece that you can go with any sort of pavé you like. Thick, thin, you do, you boo boo. And hey, bonus, if you want to add yet another element of interest, pears look mighty fine with a gap pavé like The Sofia.
Also, Just Everything
If it isn’t abundantly clear by now, pears go with everything–and we are more than a little obsessed. But if there’s one thing we love more than a diamond ring, it's several diamond rings.
Pears are especially fantastic for multi-ring stacks. There is just something about that asymmetrical teardrop that makes for the most interesting stacks.
Really, pear engagement rings look great with whatever you can throw at them. Wedding band, eternity ring, or anything else you had in mind. It’s a super strong centerpiece, and nothing is going to subdue that main character energy. And look, matching sets are always interesting, but you might just fall in love with a simple solitaire and a unique collection of bands. Whether it’s lots of diamonds or heavy on the gold, pears are the perfect showpiece in your personalized stacking fantasy, and we love to see it.
Perfectly Pear Shaped
Pears are so perfectly suited for stacking that it’s a pure delight when we get asked if they do. What better chance to show off all those gorgeous combinations of asymmetrical sparkle?
Starting off your stack with a pear engagement ring is a great way to ensure you’ll have an interesting set from any angle. Who knew that little point could pull off so much? Whether you go with the gold or have a sparkle-centric stack, you’ll always pull it off with a pear.
