Your Pear Engagement Ring Questions, Answered

What do the specs 2.53ct, E colour and VS1 clarity mean?

Good question, since these grades decide a lot. The 2.53ct is the weight of the pear centre diamond, a large, glamorous size that looks even bigger thanks to the elongated shape. E colour sits near the very top of the colour scale, so the diamond looks bright and white with no visible tint. VS1 stands for very slightly included, high on the clarity scale, meaning any natural marks are invisible to the naked eye. The hidden halo adds another 18 tiny diamonds for extra sparkle. So this is a huge, exceptionally white and clean diamond, with a secret shimmer underneath.

Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes, completely. A lab grown diamond is a real diamond, with the exact same chemical, physical, and optical properties as one mined from the earth. The only difference is the origin, since it is grown in a controlled setting rather than dug from the ground. So it sparkles identically, tests as a real diamond, and lasts just as long. Why choose lab grown? Value, mostly. You get a much larger, higher grade stone for your budget, like this stunning 2.53ct E VS1 pear, for far less than an equivalent mined diamond. It is real brilliance, simply made differently.

Why choose a pear cut diamond?

The pear is a beautiful, distinctive choice. It combines the sparkle of a round brilliant with a graceful, elongated teardrop shape, so it looks larger than its carat weight and covers more of the finger. That long silhouette also flatters the hand, gently lengthening and slimming the finger. The pear feels both classic and a little bit individual, so it stands apart from the more common round or oval without being unusual. So if you want maximum size, elegant lines, and a shape with real character, the pear delivers. It is a wonderfully romantic choice for an engagement ring.

What is the hidden halo on this ring?

It is a lovely secret detail. A hidden halo is a ring of tiny diamonds set underneath the centre stone, around the base where it meets the band, rather than around the top where everyone sees it. So from above, the ring looks like a clean, classic solitaire, but catch it from the side and you spot that extra sparkle peeking out. On this ring, 18 small lab grown diamonds form that hidden halo. It is a romantic touch, a little bit of magic only the wearer truly knows about, giving the elegance of a solitaire with a surprise of extra fire.

Which way should the pear point when worn?

Traditionally, a pear engagement ring is worn with the point facing up, towards the fingernail. This is the most popular way, and it has a lovely benefit, since the point draws the eye upward and makes the finger look even longer and more slender. That said, there is no strict rule, and some people prefer the point facing down towards the hand. So it really comes down to personal taste. When we size and set the ring, we will make sure it sits securely and comfortably whichever way you love. Come in and try it on to see which you prefer.
