Pear Cut Diamond Stud Earrings
Pear Cut · 3-Prong Stud · CVD · 18K Gold · Butterfly Back
The pear cut's teardrop silhouette combines the elegance of a marquise with the brilliance of a round — and worn point-up, it creates a beautifully elongating line on the earlobe that draws the eye upward.
Price is per pair · Includes 18K gold setting and IGI certificate · Total carat weight shown
The pear cut — also called the teardrop or pendeloque — is one of the most distinctive fancy shapes in diamond cutting. It combines the tapered point of a marquise with the rounded belly of a round brilliant, typically featuring 56–58 facets that distribute light in an elongated, asymmetric pattern quite unlike any other shape. In stud earrings, the pear is traditionally set point-up, which creates a subtle visual illusion of length on the earlobe, making it particularly flattering on all earlobes. Our pear cut lab-grown studs are matched by our gemologists for mirror symmetry — both stones should appear as reflections of each other across the nose, with identical length-to-width ratios, colour and clarity.

Pear Cut Diamond Stud Earrings
Where most earring studs are round, the pear immediately draws the eye. Its teardrop profile — blunt at the base and tapered to a single apex — catches light in an elongated sweep that distinguishes it the moment you enter a room. Our pear cut studs are set point-up in a clean 3-prong basket: two prongs cradle the rounded base, one holds the point, and the full 56-facet face is left open to the light.
Pear cuts display a measurable "bowtie" effect in lower-quality stones — a dark shadow across the girdle. We select only pears where this is minimal to absent, ensuring the stone blazes with fire and scintillation rather than absorbing light. Every pair is matched for length-to-width ratio (we aim for 1.50–1.75:1), orientation, colour and clarity, so both ears appear as perfect mirror images when worn.

Caring for Your Pear Cut Diamond Earrings
Pear cut studs are beautiful but the pointed tip deserves careful handling. The apex of the stone is the thinnest part and, while diamonds are the hardest natural material, a sharp impact can chip a culet or break a tip if the angle is right.
Cleaning: Soak in warm soapy water for 2–3 minutes. Brush gently around the three prongs and beneath the stone's pavilion with a soft toothbrush. Rinse well and pat dry. Keep the water tepid — avoid sudden thermal shocks.
Point protection: The point prong should sit snugly over the tip of the stone. Check this prong annually. If it feels loose, bring the earrings in for a free inspection before the tip becomes exposed.
