Discover the Perfection of a Pear Shaped Lab Grown Diamond Ring
We're here to talk about engagement rings, but since you've perhaps seen your fair share on your search for the perfect proposal-worthy bling, we're going to dive into one that's a bit more unique. The pear shaped diamond—and a lab grown one, no less. If you haven't yet considered this style, it's definitely time to. After all, it's having a bit of a moment in the spotlight thanks to celebs like Beyoncé and Margot Robbie.
And this eye-catching shape certainly deserves its moment in the spotlight. The pear-shaped lab-grown diamond engagement ring is the perfect blend of classic elegance and modern flair. I mean, you're going to save money on your jewelry and be more ethical and sustainable in the process, so what's not to love? But before you jump in, let's break down everything you need to know about this bold and beautiful cut—and why a lab-grown version is the way to go.
Pear-shaped lab-grown diamonds are timeless with a twist—romantic, edgy, and seriously flattering.
What’s the Deal with the Pear Shape?
The pear shape is a real showstopper. Imagine a diamond that combines the classic brilliance of round diamonds we've all come to love with the elongated, vintage elegance of a marquise cut. That’s the pear shape—a stunning teardrop silhouette that’s equally timeless and trendy. It’s the kind of diamond that stands out but never feels too flashy. The pear shape has a rounded edge on one side, which gradually tapers into a pointed tip at the other end, creating a striking, asymmetrical look that flatters every finger. They also hide clarity inclusions quite well.
If you’re after a diamond that offers tons of sparkle but also feels unique, the pear shape might be the one. It's romantic, sophisticated, and just a little bit edgy. Plus, they have an elongating effect on the finger, making it an ideal choice for those who love a flattering, elegant design.
Chunky gold, asymmetrical curves, stacked bands—pear-shaped diamonds shine in even the most unconventional designs.
Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Real Diamonds?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. The only difference between them and natural diamonds is how they’re formed. Lab-created diamonds are made in high-tech laboratory environments that replicate the natural conditions (high pressure and temperature) under which diamonds form deep within the Earth. This means they have the same sparkle, brilliance, and durability as natural diamonds. Whether in a lab or the Earth’s crust, they are chemically identical and are composed of carbon atoms arranged in the same crystal structure.
So, in short, lab-grown diamonds are just as real and spectacular as mined diamonds, with the added benefit of being more affordable and environmentally friendly. And no one will be able to tell the difference. We promise.
Lab-grown diamonds give you the sparkle you want, with the values you care about. No compromise necessary.
Why Choose Lab-Grown Diamonds Over Natural Diamonds?
Lab-created diamonds aren't just real—they’re also a more eco-friendly, ethical, and affordable option for engagement rings. Unlike natural diamonds, which are mined through processes that can harm the environment and raise ethical concerns, lab-grown diamonds are created with minimal environmental disruption. By choosing lab-grown, you're making a choice that supports sustainability without sacrificing quality.
Another key advantage is cost. Lab-grown diamonds are typically 30-40% more affordable than their natural counterparts, meaning you can get a larger carat weight, higher-quality diamond for your budget. Plus, because lab-grown diamonds are grown in a controlled setting, they can be more precisely crafted, offering fewer inclusions and more consistent quality. It’s the perfect combination of luxury, ethics, and affordability.
Yellow gold + pear diamond = unmatched glow. Warm tones meet iconic shape in this combo that radiates vintage romance and modern cool.
Engagement Ring Styles That Pair Perfectly with a Pear-Shaped Diamond
Now let's talk fun stuff, like how to make this unique shape engagement ring your own. Pear-shaped lab-created diamonds are versatile, which means they look stunning in a variety of settings. Here are a few styles you’ll love:
-
Solitaire: If you want your pear-shaped diamond to shine as the center of attention, go for a simple solitaire setting. But there are countless solitaires to choose from, from a classic prong setting to a sleek, modern bezel. You can also choose different band styles like round, square, split-shank, knife-edge, or wide. Pear-shaped engagement rings are typically worn with the tip aimed up toward your fingertip and the rounded end toward your body. But you do you.
-
Pear on a Tilt: Want to add a little drama? Tilt your pear-shaped diamond on a fresh angle for an asymmetrical look that feels fresh and modern. It’s bold, it’s different, and it’s definitely eye-catching.
-
"Toi et Moi" Ring: This style features two stones—perfect for representing the two of you. Pair a pear-shaped diamond with another diamond or gemstone for a personalized and romantic touch.
-
Three-Stone Ring: For a traditional look, opt for a three-stone setting with a pear-shaped diamond in the center, flanked by two smaller stones for a meaningful, symbolic design. Or go bolder with large pear side stones for a fresh, modern take.
-
Side-Stone Rings: Side-stone rings are all about adding extra sparkle. Choose a pear-shaped diamond as the focal point and surround it with smaller diamonds along the band for a gorgeous, glamorous effect.
-
Halo: If you love the look of a diamond surrounded by more diamonds (who doesn’t?), a halo setting is for you. A halo will accentuate the pear shape and make your diamond appear even larger. You can find hidden halos as well, where the halo goes around the side of the setting so it's visible from the side instead.
-
Unique Design: Drawn to standing out? Show off your individuality with something more unconventional. Purchase a ring that really reflects the beauty of you by trying styles with asymmetrical designs, open, multi-banded styles, or chunky eternity rings.
A tilted pear adds an unexpected, modern edge to your ring—because you were never one to follow the crowd.
The most flattering cut in the game. With its elongated teardrop shape, a pear diamond makes your fingers look long, elegant, and effortlessly glam.
The Cost Factor: Pear-Shaped Lab-Created Diamond vs. Natural Diamonds
Let’s get real—budget matters, right? The good news is that pear-shaped lab-grown diamonds are usually more affordable than both natural pear diamonds and other diamond shapes. Since lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled environment, they avoid the costly and labor-intensive mining process, which means they come in at a fraction of the cost.
In general, you’ll find that a lab-grown pear-shaped diamond costs up to 30-40% less than a natural diamond of similar size and quality. Plus, since lab-grown diamonds offer the same brilliance as mined diamonds, you won’t have to sacrifice quality for the price.
Pro Tip: When shopping for a pear-shaped lab-grown diamond, consider the "bowtie effect"—a natural feature of pear-shaped diamonds where a shadow forms in the center, resembling a bowtie. While this effect is completely normal, make sure to choose a diamond with a well-balanced shape and minimal bowtie shadow for the best visual impact. A skilled jeweler can help you find the perfect pear shape that maximizes its sparkle without too much of this shadow!
From classic prongs to sculptural bezels and chunky gold bands—pear-shaped rings are anything but basic.
Metals to Pair with Your Pear-Shaped Lab-Grown Diamond Ring
Choosing the right metal for pear-shaped diamond ring can completely transform the look of your engagement ring. Here are some options to consider:
-
Platinum: Known for its durability and elegant white sheen, platinum is a timeless choice that pairs beautifully with any diamond cut. Really showcases a brilliantly white diamond.
-
White Gold: Slightly more affordable than platinum, white gold offers a similar look with a bit of warmth and shine. Looks great with sapphires and cool-color gemstones.
-
Yellow Gold: The versatility of yellow gold is that it goes from vintage vibes to modern romance with ease. Go delicate and detailed or rock bold, chunky gold rings with confidence. The choice is yours. It also perfectly flatters warmer colored diamonds and gems like rubies and emeralds.
-
Rose Gold: If you’re looking for something modern and romantic, rose gold has a unique, blush tone that makes pear-shaped diamonds pop. Also very flattering on all skin tones.
As for karats, most engagement rings are made in 14k or 18k gold, with 18k offering a richer, more durable option. Platinum, being a naturally white metal, is often used in 90-95% purity.
A halo setting takes your pear-shaped diamond and turns it up to 11. Bonus: it makes your center stone look even bigger.
