The pear-cut diamonds are the most common shaped diamonds which are coveted by all. These types of diamonds are preferably worn as a pendant, drop earrings and are widely used as a center stone in various jewelries. Balance in length and width is a must in making pear-cut diamonds. Commonly, a ratio of 1: 5:10 is maintained while creating a pear-cut diamond. The stone's length should differ from the width by one and half times.
Most emphasis is given on the symmetry in pear-cut diamonds for a good reflection. If it is well-shaped, then light is being properly reflected in the centre of the stone. These diamonds are also designed in irregular shapes and are available as small peer-cut diamonds. The tiny diamonds of this shape is also known as “baguettes”.
Usually five prongs are found in the background of the pear-cut diamonds. Of the five prongs, two are meant for holding the end of the stone and the other two for holding the curved portions. Another V-cut prong is made in the setting to hold the last end of the diamond which is considered to be the most susceptible part.
The other cuts of diamond which are also very popular in the market include radiant-cut, oval shape, princess cut, emerald shaped and many more designs.A number of diamond lovers prefer wearing shorter pear-cut diamonds with wider length. Some also like wearing diamonds of a totally different combination. The pear-cut diamonds are also available in thinner cuts with longer outline.
