The pear lab grown diamond is one of the most distinctive and elegant diamond shapes, admired for its graceful silhouette and exceptional versatility. Combining the brilliance of a round cut with the elongated sophistication of a marquise, the pear shape has become a favourite among women who appreciate timeless luxury with a contemporary edge.
Whether chosen for an engagement ring, a milestone celebration, or a bespoke piece of fine jewellery, a pear-shaped diamond makes a refined statement. At Her Crown, we believe every diamond should honour a woman’s journey of becoming—capturing both her individuality and her achievements.
What Is a Pear Lab Grown Diamond?
A pear lab grown diamond, often called a teardrop diamond, features one rounded end and one elegant point. Created using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process, it has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, brilliance, and durability as a mined diamond.
The only difference is its origin.
Every Her Crown diamond is carefully selected for exceptional beauty, ensuring that each pear-shaped stone displays balanced proportions, outstanding brilliance, and remarkable craftsmanship.

Why Choose a Pear Lab Grown Diamond?
The pear shape offers a unique combination of sophistication and practicality.
Its elongated outline creates the illusion of greater size compared with many other diamond shapes of the same carat weight, while naturally flattering the finger with a graceful, lengthening effect.
For women seeking something distinctive without sacrificing timeless elegance, the pear cut is an exceptional choice.

The History of the Pear-Shaped Diamond
Originally developed in the 15th century, the pear cut has remained one of the most iconic fancy diamond shapes. Its elegant form has been worn by royalty, celebrities, and collectors for centuries, making it both classic and contemporary.
Today, the pear lab grown diamond brings together this rich heritage with modern craftsmanship and ethical innovation.
Understanding the Bow-Tie Effect
One characteristic unique to elongated diamond shapes is the bow-tie effect—a dark shadow that can appear across the centre of the stone if the cut is poorly proportioned.
A beautifully cut pear diamond should display only a subtle bow tie, allowing light to travel evenly across the facets and maximise brilliance.
At Her Crown, we carefully evaluate each diamond to ensure outstanding light performance.

The Ideal Pear Diamond Ratio
The length-to-width ratio significantly influences the appearance of a pear diamond.
- Around 1.45–1.55 offers a balanced, timeless look.
- Longer ratios create a more slender, dramatic silhouette.
- Shorter ratios produce a softer, fuller appearance.
The ideal choice depends on personal style and the desired ring design.
The Four Cs for Pear Diamonds
Cut
Cut determines brilliance, symmetry, and the visibility of the bow-tie effect.
Colour
Because the pointed tip can reveal colour more readily than a round diamond, many buyers prefer higher colour grades such as D to F for a crisp, icy-white appearance.
Clarity
The brilliant facet pattern helps disguise many inclusions, making high-quality VS and VVS diamonds excellent choices.
Carat
Pear diamonds often appear larger than round diamonds of the same weight thanks to their elongated proportions, offering excellent visual presence.
Best Ring Settings for Pear Diamonds
Pear diamonds pair beautifully with:
- Solitaire
- Halo
- Pavé band
- Three-stone settings
- Vintage-inspired settings
