Pear-shaped diamonds are having a moment. The elegant teardrop-shaped cut has recently caught attention after Meghan Markle was seen wearing a pear-shaped diamond ring, putting this distinctive style right back in the spotlight. While the details of the Duchess of Sussex’s ring remain private, the appearance of the ring has highlighted the appeal of the pear-shaped diamond, for both fashion styling and engagement rings.
Unlike classic round diamonds, pear-shaped stones have a more distinctive silhouette. They look elegant in a simple solitaire setting, but can also be paired with halos, pavé bands and more detailed designs for a statement look.
