Lab-Grown Diamonds Pear Cut

The pear cut, also called a tear or drop (pear, drop), is a cut that combines the rounded upper part of the round brilliant with the pointed end of the marquise.

The result is a stone with a teardrop or pear silhouette, very recognizable and with a notable visual presence on the finger.

Technically, it is a mixed brilliant facet cut: 71 facets distributed in a way that maximizes the sparkle and dispersion of light across the entire surface of the stone.

In its laboratory version, the pear cut diamond maintains exactly the same physical and optical properties as a natural diamond: the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), the same chemical composition (pure carbon) and the same light refraction capacity.

The difference is in the origin: grown in a controlled environment, without mining and with full traceability from the beginning of the process.

Why choose a pear cut lab-grown diamond

The pear cut has two practical advantages that make it particularly interesting as a center stone for a ring.

The first is the lengthening effect: placed with the tip towards the nail, it visually lengthens the finger significantly.

The second is the apparent size: due to its geometry, a pear-cut stone appears larger than a round brilliant of the same carat weight.

We work directly with suppliers specializing in lab-grown diamonds to ensure that each pear-cut stone in our collection is carefully selected:

• Minimum VS2 clarity
• Color from D to H
• IGI and GIA certification

Each of these parameters is backed up in writing. There are no surprises when you open the box.

How the pear cut lab-grown diamond is created

The process begins with the growth of the rough diamond using CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) or HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) technology.

In both cases, the result is a pure carbon crystal with the same molecular structure as a natural diamond.

Once the rough is obtained, the cutter analyzes the optimal proportions for the pear cut:

• Defines the length-to-width ratio (usually between 1.45 and 1.75)
• Plans the placement of the 71 facets
• Works the tip with special care to avoid fragility

The final result is reviewed by an IGI certified gemologist before the stone is accompanied by its official report.

The 4Cs in the pear cut diamond

Color

The pear cut tends to concentrate color at the tip, which can make the hue slightly more noticeable than in a round brilliant of the same grade.

If the stone is mounted with the tip covered by a prong, this effect is mitigated.

Clarity

As a brilliant cut, light dispersion helps to camouflage minor inclusions better than in step cuts like the emerald.

Cut

The cut in a pear is mainly evaluated by three factors:

• Length-to-width ratio
• Symmetry of the upper arc
• Quality of the tip

A ratio between 1.45 and 1.65 is the most balanced, although personal preference counts a lot here.

The symmetry of the arc must be perfect from side to side: any deviation is visible.

The tip should not be excessively thin to ensure durability and should always be protected by a prong in the setting.

Carat

The pear cut offers an excellent balance between carat weight and visual size.

A 1-carat stone in this cut appears considerably larger than a 1-carat round brilliant, thanks to its elongated silhouette.

IGI and GIA certification for pear cut lab-grown diamonds

All pear cut lab-grown diamonds in our collection are certified by IGI (International Gemological Institute) and GIA, two of the most internationally recognized gemological laboratories for lab-grown diamonds.

The IGI certificate documents:

• The laboratory origin
• The creation method (CVD or HPHT)
• The 4Cs independently evaluated

This report is the written guarantee of what you are buying and the document that permanently accompanies the stone.

We do not sell any diamonds without a certificate.

How to choose your pear cut lab-grown diamond

If this is your first time buying a stone of this cut, start by deciding the length-to-width ratio that you visually like the most.

More elongated stones (1.65-1.75) have more presence and a lengthening effect, while shorter ratios (1.40-1.50) are more compact and easier to mount.

Then, prioritize:

• Minimum VS2 clarity
• Color between D and G
