If you're considering a pear shape diamond for your engagement ring, it's always a good idea to look at the pros and cons. Ultimately, you should buy the diamond shape that you like best.

Other than an eye-catching shape, pear shaped diamonds have some great advantages over traditional round-cut diamonds. Because of their elongated shape, pear cuts look larger than a round diamond. But it's not just appearance, they're actually 8% larger on their top surface!

This means that even a small diamond will make a big impact. Of course, a large pear will look absolutely huge.

Better yet, pear-shaped diamonds can cost 10-30% less than a round diamond with the same carat weight.

In addition, pear shapes have a versatile style, great for vintage, modern, and classic looks. Celebrity engagement rings like Ariana Grande's have also made pear shape diamonds trendy.
