Pear-Cut Engagement Rings

Yes, we offer both natural and lab-grown pear diamonds for all engagement rings. Pear cuts are identical in appearance and performance, whether lab-grown or natural, so you're getting the same brilliance, fire, and durability. The real difference is that lab-grown diamonds cost around 30% less, which can give you a big saving when selecting a larger stone or higher quality grade. The teardrop shape already maximises visual size, but lab-grown options let you go bigger within your budget. Visit our Adelaide studio to compare both types on your hand.

Each pear engagement ring is custom-made in Adelaide specifically for you. Pear diamonds vary in their length-to-width ratios and tip shapes. Some are slender and elongated, others wider and rounder, and you'll choose your specific diamond based on the proportions that suit your hand and aesthetic preferences. We'll then design a setting that protects the delicate point and showcases the stone's shape. Metal type and setting style are all customised during the design process.

Pear cut rings typically take 4-8 weeks from order to completion. This includes sourcing your pear diamond (we're selective about symmetry and cut quality, which varies considerably in pear shapes), crafting the setting with proper protection for the pointed tip, and quality inspection. More complex designs with halos or pave work may extend the timeline slightly. But if you have a specific proposal timeline, mention it early and we'll do our best to meet it 

Once your ring is finished, Australian delivery takes 2-5 business days via insured courier. Adelaide metro customers can also choose hand delivery or collection from our Hyde Park studio. International orders take longer, depending on destination and customs, typically one to three weeks. Wherever you live, we'll provide realistic delivery estimates when you place your order.

We ship pear-cut rings to all Australian states and territories using tracked, insured courier services. Each ring is carefully packaged with full insurance coverage during transit, and you'll get tracking information to follow the delivery. 

Pear-cut rings can be made in 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold, 18k rose gold, 14k gold, or platinum. But it’s important to remember metal choice will affect both aesthetics and practicality. The pointed tip of pear diamonds requires a protective V-prong, which platinum handles exceptionally well due to its strength. White metals create a modern, clean look, while yellow and rose gold add warmth that complements the romantic teardrop shape. We'll discuss which metal suits your lifestyle and design vision.

Pear rings can pair with wedding bands, though the fit depends on your setting orientation and style. Pears worn with the point toward the fingertip often accommodate straight bands, while those set point-toward-the-hand may need curved or contoured bands. Some couples prefer leaving a small gap to let the distinctive pear shape stand out. We can design your engagement ring with wedding band pairing in mind, ensuring the two pieces work together harmoniously.

Every pear engagement ring is designed and crafted entirely in our Adelaide studio. Our jewellers build each setting from scratch, paying particular attention to the V-prong that protects the vulnerable pointed tip. Local production also means we can adjust the setting to suit your specific pear diamond's proportion, and since no two pear cuts are identical, this customisation ensures the best appearance and security.

We source pear diamonds from 0.40ct to 4ct+, with most customers selecting between 0.80ct and 2.50ct. Pear cuts appear roughly 8-10% larger than round diamonds at the same carat weight due to their elongated shape and greater surface area. The visual impact also depends on the length-to-width ratio you choose. We'll help you select a size that looks balanced on your hand while considering cut quality and symmetry, which are critical in pear shapes.

Yes. Every shipment includes complete insurance at the ring's full appraised value, delivered via tracked courier with mandatory signature, and we’ll give you tracking information to monitor its journey. After delivery, you can arrange your own jewellery insurance, which is important as pear diamonds have a pointed tip that, while protected by a proper setting, benefits from full coverage. We can recommend insurers experienced with fine jewellery if you're looking for guidance.
