About Pear Shaped Engagement Rings
Pear shaped engagement rings, also known as teardrop engagement rings, feature an elegant silhouette that blends the brilliance of a round cut with the elongation of a marquise. This flattering shape creates the illusion of longer and slimmer fingers, offering a distinctive alternative to classic diamond engagement rings.
Also known as teardrop engagement ring, this pear cut has been worn by celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Sophie Turnerand, highlighting its refined yet expressive appeal.
Pear shaped engagement rings are designed for the woman who appreciates elegant design with a unique twist. They are especially flattering for shorter or wider fingers, as the elongated teardrop shape enhances balance and proportion.
