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.
