Questions About The Vintage Pear
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, many people think that pear engagement rings are timeless due to the long history of the shape. The cut dates back to 1475 when Flemish jeweler Lodewyk van Bercken first unveiled it. Brides have continuously worn rings in the shape ever since, and during the 1960s, it was one of the most popular diamond cuts. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of pear engagement rings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A pear-shaped diamond is unique and it often symbolizes independence, strong will, and empowerment. A pear-shaped diamond can also represent wedding tears or tears of joy. It makes for a great choice of stone for an engagement ring.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    Yes, pear-shaped engagement rings can be nice. The elongated shape makes gemstones appear larger, and the 58 facets that form the pear cut provide a lot of sparkle. Plus, the shape is highly versatile and can complement everything from casual attire to office wear to dressy ensembles. There are no rules for engagement ring shape, so feel free to choose the one that appeals most to you. Find a wide range of pear-shaped engagement rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    While a pear-shaped ring can be worn either way, most commonly it is worn with the tip of the diamond facing upwards to look like a falling teardrop when the hand is raised. This also helps create the impression of longer fingers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Although trends in bridal jewelry change over time, pear-shaped diamond engagement rings tend to remain popular. Jewelry makers have produced pear-shaped diamonds since the 15th century, when a Flemish diamond cutter named Lodewyk van Bercken first mastered the technique. Many people love the sparkle of the cut and find its mix of curves and points to be visually appealing. Find a diverse assortment of pear-shaped diamond engagement rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    How you wear a wedding band with a pear-shaped engagement ring is up to you. However, it's most common to put the wedding band on first and then wear the engagement ring on top. Not only does this follow the tradition of wearing your wedding ring closest to your heart, but it also serves as a nice balance to the shape of the engagement ring, which is wider and fuller at the bottom. Curved and contoured wedding bands are especially good companions for pear-shaped engagement rings because they complement the curves of the gemstone. Find a large collection of wedding bands on 1stDibs.
