Are Pear-Shaped Engagement Rings in Style?

Diamonds look ethereal irrespective of the cut and shape. All cuts have individual attributes that make them attractive — whether it is a simple round cut, a fancier cushion, or a princess cut. Pear-shaped diamonds look beautiful in engagement rings. They are elongated in shape and make your fingers look slimmer and longer. But wait, what exactly is the pear shape?

Are Pear-Shaped Engagement Rings in Style?

Of course, yes! Honestly, pear-shaped rings did face a little setback in the past as their popularity took a slight dip. But they were back in demand sooner than anyone realized. Most buyers think of this shape as a recently discovered modern, contemporary diamond cut. But in reality, the shape originated a few hundred years ago and has an unmissable old-world charm to it. The versatility of the shape allows it to accentuate both the modern and vintage designs with equal flair. It looks its best with the Victorian floral and leaf patterns and the geometric styles of the Art Deco period.

Pear diamonds are rare — only 4% of the diamonds in the world naturally have this shape. These diamonds display impressive versatility; they could fit in any jewelry piece, from standalone solitaires in engagement rings to a three-stone setting. They look particularly fascinating in teardrop earrings and pendants. These gems can be paired with several ring settings and fixed on the band both ways — like a teardrop or upside down. Whatever the style is, these rings ensure that you are never out of style.

Celebrities Who Wore Pear Engagement Rings?

The diamond cut has been catching everyone’s eye lately, thanks to the celebrity appeal. Stars like Ariana Grande, Kaley Cuoco, Victoria Beckham, Emily Ratajkowski, Cardi B, and even Princess Charlene of Monaco have been seen sporting pear-shaped engagement rings. Especially after Grande’s engagement announcement, the love for these rings blew up! Understandably, people with a fetish for antique, vintage-style rings love a pear-shaped diamond.

1. Ariana Grande — While Grande’s relationship with Pete Davidson was short-lived, the world did get to experience the prettiest pear-shaped engagement ring. The design is simple yet elegant– a pear diamond set in a shimmering diamond halo — but is impactful in its stunning appearance.

2. Victoria Beckham — As astounding as it sounds, over 20 years of their marriage, David Beckham has gifted 15 engagement rings to his famous singer and fashion designer wife, Victoria Beckham. But her most-worn ring is a pear-shaped diamond ring with an impressive 17-carat diamond resting on a thin band of pavé diamonds. Simple, yet powerful!

3. Cardi B — A quirky woman like Cardi B needs an equally distinctive ring. So, it makes sense for Offset to propose to her with a beautiful pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. The 8-carat diamond is surrounded by a rose-gold double halo and two pear diamonds on either side. Unsurprisingly, the beauty costs half a million!

4. Paris Hilton — We all know how much Hilton loved to flaunt her pear-shaped engagement ring from Chris Zylka. The pear diamond on the ring is a whopping 20-carat fixed on a split shank. The diamond halo totals up to 22 carats! This stunning ring is worth $2 million if the rumors around it are true.

Are Pear-Shaped Diamonds Expensive?

Did you know that all other diamond shapes are considered fancy except for the most popular round-cut diamond? It is natural to believe that a fancy shape would cost more, but that is not true. A pear-shaped diamond ranks fourth in pricing, with round cut in the lead, followed by oval and marquise in that order. In general, a fancy shape saves you almost 25 percent of the cost of a round-cut diamond. However, it is still a combination of the 4C’s that determine the final cost of a diamond. But a 1-carat diamond costs much more for a round cut shape than for a pear diamond.
