Pear Engagement Rings
Among the most-loved pieces in our collection is the pear engagement ring. Graceful and elongating, the teardrop silhouette blends brilliant sparkle with a soft, romantic outline—crafted to be worn and admired for a lifetime.
What Makes Pear Engagement Rings So Special?
The pear brilliant combines the fire of a round with the elegant length of a marquise. Its face-up spread can look larger at the same carat, and the shape flatters the hand with a finger-lengthening effect. Wear the point north–south or go modern with an east–west orientation—both are beautiful.
At House of Diamonds, we balance length-to-width ratio, head height, and band width so your pear sits comfortably, looks proportionate from every angle, and shines in everyday wear.
The Craftsmanship Behind a Pear Solitaire
Point protection is key. We typically use a V-tip or well-shaped claw at the point, align prongs for symmetry, and polish edges for a smooth, low-snag profile. Thoughtful setting height preserves sparkle while keeping the ring practical for daily life.

FAQ: Pear Engagement Rings
Which way should the point face?
Traditionally the point faces outward (toward the fingertip) for an elongating look, but inward or east–west orientations are stylish alternatives—choose what you love.
What length-to-width ratio should I choose?
Classic pears often sit around ~1.45–1.55. Shorter (1.35–1.45) looks softer; longer (1.55–1.65) looks sleeker. We’ll show side-by-side options.
Do pears have a bow-tie?
Some do. We curate stones with balanced light so any bow-tie is minimal and the sparkle stays even.
How are the prongs set on a pear?
A protective V-tip or shaped claw at the point plus evenly spaced claws elsewhere. Double claws are a refined option.
Will my wedding band sit flush?
Often with a considered head height. Some designs pair best with a gentle contour band; we’ll advise during design.
Do pears show colour more than rounds?
They can show a touch more near the point. In white metals many clients choose G–H and higher; warmer metals complement slightly lower colours.
Can a pear ring be resized?
Usually within 1–2 sizes, depending on the band and any pavé. Plain bands are especially resize-friendly.
How do I clean a pear ring?
Soak in warm water with mild dish soap, gently brush around/under the head with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry. Ultrasonic is fine for most diamonds.
