The technical name of the pear is "pear-shaped modified brilliant," based on its shape and modifications of the traditional round brilliant configuration. A hybrid cut, combining the best of the Round Brilliant and the Marquise, it is shaped like a sparkling teardrop.
The pear shape usually has the 58 facet brilliant pattern, but can be cut with different numbers of pavilion mains of 8, 7, 6, or 4 facets. The teardrop shape has a round or oval shape on half the facet pattern while the other half resembles a marquise with the sides tapering to a point.
The first pear-shaped diamond was created in the 1400s by Flemish cutter Lodewyk van Berquem of Bruges, inventor of the diamond-polishing wheel, or scaif.
This invention enabled him to polish all the facets of the diamond to optimize light reflection within it. It was from this watershed moment onwards that diamonds began to be used in jewellery.
Van Berquem also pioneered the now common place symmetrical arrangement of facets on a stone, this in turn led him to fashion the pear-shaped "Pendeloque" or "Briolette" cut.
When purchasing a Pear Shaped Diamond, it's extremely important to pay attention to quality and to select the highest grade cut you can afford.
In a pear, look for a well-shaped head and even shoulders with a length-to-width ratio of 1.45-1.70. Pear-shaped diamonds work great for pendants and drop earrings.
The optimal pear shape is one with a polished girdle and a rounded base, or “even shoulders”. However, much like the oval cut, a more attenuated pear shape may elongate the fingers, so it is important to reconcile these two qualities. Additionally, colour is often more visible towards the tip of the pear shape, so to ensure an even tone throughout the stone it is advisable to opt for colours H and above.
