Certified Lab-Grown Pear Diamonds
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The asymmetric three-element silhouette of pear cuts, two shoulders and one point, cannot disguise any imbalance. Asymmetry between the shoulders or misalignment of the point is immediately visible and significantly reduces retail conversion. LabGems prioritises balanced silhouette selection across its IGI-certified pear inventory in Antwerp.
1.50 to 1.65 is the most balanced teardrop proportion for pear cuts. Ratios closer to 1.45 read more rounded and pendant-leaning, while ratios approaching 1.75 emphasise extreme elongation. LabGems holds IGI-certified pear cuts from approximately 0.30ct through 5.00ct, searchable by ratio through the certified diamond search platform.

A €500 minimum applies across all certified purchases, and certified pairs ship with IGI documentation confirming lab-grown origin.
In pendants the point of a pear cut typically faces downward; in engagement rings the point usually orients toward the fingertip for finger elongation; east-west settings orient the point sideways. LabGems stocks IGI-certified pear cuts suited to all three applications, dispatched in-stock within 1 business day from Antwerp and searchable through the certified diamond search.
LabGems supplies pear cuts both IGI-certified and non-certified. Non-certified wholesale pear stock prices roughly 20% lower than certified equivalents, suiting volume and price-led work. The non-certified pear range complements the IGI-certified pear inventory held in Antwerp, where in-stock pear cuts ship within 1 business day and custom specifications within 7-10 business days.
Pear cut lab-grown diamonds (also known as teardrop diamonds) combine the brilliant sparkle of a round cut with the elongated elegance of a marquise. Featuring a rounded base tapering to a single sharp point, the pear cut is one of the most versatile fancy shapes in the certified inventory. It performs exceptionally across engagement rings, drop pendants, and statement earrings, delivering strong visual footprint per carat and finger-lengthening proportions. LabGems holds IGI-certified pear cuts in active Antwerp inventory across a comprehensive range of weights and quality grades.

Evaluating Symmetry and Outline Balance
Symmetry is exceptionally critical when evaluating pear cuts. The two shoulders flanking the rounded base must be perfectly symmetrical, and the central axis extending from the rounded end to the pointed tip must remain perfectly straight. Any asymmetry or bulging along the sides creates a lopsided appearance face-up. Trade buyers should insist on Very Good or Excellent symmetry grades. Additionally, jewellers should always specify V-prong or bezel protection for the pointed apex to prevent chipping during setting or wear. For other elongated brilliant cuts, review the oval cut or marquise cut collections.
Proportions and Length-to-Width Ratios
Length-to-width (L:W) ratio determines the pear's overall silhouette. The traditional commercial preference lies between 1.50 and 1.65, achieving a classic teardrop balance. Ratios below 1.45 read wider and softer, ideal for halo pendant mountings. Ratios above 1.70 create a slender, elongated silhouette increasingly popular in contemporary engagement rings and east-west solitaire settings. Trade buyers stocking core inventory should focus on the 1.50–1.65 range. For uncertified options at lower price points, explore the non-certified fancy shape collection.
Selection Notes for Pear Cuts
- Target 1.50–1.65 L:W ratio for classic balanced teardrop proportions
- Require Very Good or Excellent symmetry to ensure equal shoulder curvature
- Inspect face-up light performance to confirm minimal central bow-tie shadow
- Specify V-prong protection at the pointed tip on mounting specifications
- Combine with other fancy shapes to meet the €500 minimum purchase requirement
