Everything's going pear-shaped!
It's a comeback that would even leave Rocky Balboa speechless. Pear diamonds, once outdated and mercilessly mocked in the late 90s and early noughties, are now the hottest thing you can have on your hand.
The resurgence of the pear was kick-started by the engagement ring given to Ariana Grande by Pete Davidson back in 2018. Since then, celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, and most recently, Adele, have championed pear-shaped gems.
The enduring appeal of the pear
Despite the love/hate relationship, many have had with the pear in recent years, this quirky diamond has held firm as a classic.
With its elongated body with rounded ends that curve forward to a tip, this characterful cut has a uniqueness and personality that other shapes cannot match.
The pear-shaped modified-brilliant has amazing sparkle, combining the best of a brilliant round and a marquise. When expertly cut, its 58 individual facets beautifully radiate light from its teardrop shape.
Moissanite is the perfect reason to go large on a pear stone
A pear engagement ring is definitely not shy and unassuming. This distinctive gem will want everyone to know that it's on your hand. Many of the world's most famous diamonds are pears like the iconic 69.42-carat diamond owned by Elizabeth Taylor.
Of course, a large natural pear diamond is going to cost tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. But if you're set on rocking a humongous pear gem, moissanite will make your dreams come true!
Moissanite is a diamond-lovers best friend!
