Why Choose a Pear-Cut Diamond?

The pear cut combines two styles:

  • The rounded brilliance of a round cut

  • The tapered point of a marquise

This teardrop shape dates back to 15th century Belgium, created by diamond cutter Lodewyk van Bercken. His invention of the scaif, a polishing wheel with oil and diamond dust, changed diamond cutting forever.

Antique pear cuts, like the one in this ring, often feature:

  • A softer, fuller shape

  • A flat open culet

  • Smaller table facet

  • Higher crown with old-mine style faceting

These proportions create strong fire and liveliness, giving the stone a glowing character.

The world’s most famous pear-cut diamond is the Cullinan I (530.2cts). It forms part of the Crown Jewels, set in the Sovereign’s Sceptre, and remains one of the most remarkable diamonds in history.

Why This Ring Stands Out

  • Rare 2.38ct Fancy Intense Yellow antique pear cut diamond

  • Unique gypsy-style flush setting in 22ct gold

  • Brushed satin finish for understated elegance

  • Handcrafted by London’s historic jeweller, Hancocks

This ring blends history, craftsmanship, and a rare fancy yellow diamond into a wearable statement piece.
