The micro pave halo is so subtle that, instead of a clear surrounding design, you get a sparkly cascade for the focus stone to nestle in. While I’ve always favored flatter settings, the prongs set the central pear shaped diamond off beautifully, and I’d make an exception for this one.
This is one of the most unique pear shaped engagement rings I’ve ever seen. Best news of all? There’s a matching wedding band if you’re looking for a stacked wedding set.
OK, I couldn’t resist showcasing another of these beauties. If the Penelope option was a little too clean-cut and modern for you, try this one for a softer, near-vintage aura.
Vine-like intertwining marquise and round-cut diamonds on the band lend some floral-inspired flair, and the same subtle micro pave halo adds sparkle to the statement stone. It’s a bold hidden halo pear shaped ring with a lot of ‘bling’ factor but manages to balance it with restraint and class.
I’m a sucker for unusual band designs that work with, instead of against, the focus stone. This ring brings you an undulating diamond-studded curve entwining around a metal band (the promised twist).
Yet the central setting still draws the eye first, as it should. It’s a clean and modern pear shaped engagement ring with a hint of old-world romance.
I love it when rose gold pear shaped engagement rings play with the contrast between the softness of the rose gold and the brightness of the diamonds.
With not one but two rows of halo diamonds surrounding the central pear, this creates a hypnotic, exquisitely balanced ring that plays with the pear shape of the central stone in the best way possible.

This is a white gold pear shaped engagement ring fit for a queen overlooking her kingdom.
If you’re a non-traditional bride who wants to play with the whole idea of pear shaped engagement rings, your ring awaits you!

I want to particularly highlight the diagonal settings of the pear shaped diamonds here. This is a newer setting option from jewelers that reinvents the way we wear the pear- and this is a spectacular way to marry that modernity to a classic setting without being in your face.
For many brides-to-be, the diamond solitaire engagement ring still can’t be beaten. The Eve brings you a new take on this classic design. The heart-catching simple pear shaped solitaire stone absolutely steals the show. But there’s a soft and sumptuous bamboo-inspired band design to bring a touch of nature to the party, too.
This is a beautiful fusion of unusual and expected. Catch the eye with a perfectly set traditional engagement diamond, then let the novel band woo everyone around you. With a hidden halo, this engagement ring is full of surprises, too. The more you look, the more you’ll fall in love.
Why settle for one when you can have two? This is a twist on the solitaire engagement ring I haven't seen before. With a chunky emerald-cut diamond right alongside an equally powerful pear-cut sharing center stage, I think this ring is the perfect embodiment of ‘me and you,’ as in the name.
This two-stone pear shaped engagement ring fits seamlessly into your plans to showcase your love for each other and the differences that make you stronger.
It’s a ring that celebrates everything weddings embody- two becoming one, the power of love between two different souls, and a union that lets both partners be their own unique selves but better together.

But oh, does it know how to sparkle! With a band dripping in ice and a single frozen teardrop of joy at its heart, it’s one to beat for sheer shine alone.
Dark romance with a twist has come home to roost! With gothic overtones evocative of the whisper of velvet dresses on castle floors, this ring reinvents vintage pear shaped engagement rings for a new generation.
A dazzling cascade of discrete pave diamonds envelops the blood-red central pear cut garnet in a swathe of glittering stars for a touch of modernity, echoed again in the crisp, clean lines.

Flip the classic upright take on the solitaire pear shaped engagement ring on its head and make a subtle statement. Unlike most pear shaped engagement rings, this ring places the band more equally between tip and bottom, allowing added versatility and a unique ring placement for a stand-out statement.
I’m a sucker for that perfect fusion of band and bling. In engagement rings, pear shaped stones have such a graceful balance of shape, with that smooth round bottom and elegant elongated tip.

With a neat and clean bezel setting, this pear shaped solitaire engagement ring lets the diamond speak for itself- and boy, does it have a lot to say. It loses no style and no drama with that simplicity. An icy drop of pear-shaped perfection with achingly crisp lines showcasing it. Gorgeous!
Some girls are all about the gem, while others are all about the metal. What’s a girl to do if she wants both to pack a punch? At first glance, it’s a classic solitaire engagement ring with a stunning pear cut. But look closer.
An unusually thick bezel setting lets the metal you choose have its moment in the sun. And the simple but graceful, raised neck gives you no-frills, no-fuss depth for visual intrigue. It’s funky and fashionable but tasteful and discerning too.
I’m not sure why we don’t see more of the double-shank engagement ring. They’re a personal favorite- and this little gem (pun fully intended) showcases exactly why. The double band means double the sparkle, for one.
But it also allows for a unique and dramatic look that’s understated but noticeable.If like me, you like to reinvent the classics while keeping their timeless appeal, this is one to add to the shortlist.

I’m a bit of a clutz, so I’ve always been afraid to wear more open settings like the basket. However, this gorgeous take on the classic solitaire engagement ring has wooed me hard.
The more central-than-usual band brings a glorious symmetry to the table, creating a regular, energizing feel that’s somehow both classic and modern- just like many brides-to-be!

This is a delightfully different band with a thicker, almost retro, look that will turn heads. One cushion diamond and one pear diamond show how opposites attract and how two different people can bring out the best in each other. It’s understated, unusual, and richly symbolic- I love it.

Pear Shaped Engagement Rings FAQ
Hopefully, you’re feeling inspired and energized with your walk through the world of possibilities pear shaped diamond engagement rings offer. From offbeat to elegant, timeless to thoroughly modern, we’ve seen the best of the best- and we bet you’re just a little curious, too.
Here are some of the most common FAQs about pear shaped cuts we see at L&L to whet that curiosity- remember, our helpful team is always willing to help if there’s anything else you’d like to know, too!
1. Do all pear shaped diamonds have a bow-tie effect?
Yes, they do! The bow tie effect, a tiny shadow at the heart of the pear cut, is created by the stone’s unique shape, so there will be little in any pear cut diamond. However, with a smart eye like yours, you can choose a stone that minimizes the effect, so it isn’t noticeable.
2. How much should you spend on a pear shaped engagement ring?
Ah, the ultimate question! Knowing what to pay for a ring is highly dependent on aspects like the metal (and karat value, for gold) used in the ring, the carat size of the diamonds (and equivalent for other stones), how they rate on the famous 4C’s, and whether the ring has a brand name jeweler or is a custom design just for you.
Luckily, our L&L team has compiled a series of helpful guides to walk you through it, and you’ll find them all on our site. Here’s our guide on the price of 14K gold to get you started, and there’s plenty more too! You’ll soon be a confident expert!
3. Do pear rings look bigger?
Yes, pear shaped rings look bigger than the classic round brilliant cut- partially because they are! Due to the unique way the shape is created, they have about 8% more surface area visible to the eye than on the round brilliant cut of the same carat value.
Yet because the pear is something of a fusion between round brilliant and marquise, they carry the most facets of the fancy cut diamonds for sparkle appeal, too. Can you say perfection without pear?
4. Which way should you wear a pear shaped ring?
The short answer here is, “Any way you choose!” While tip up, and round down is the most used, it isn’t your only option. However, we know this is a question that worries many brides-to-be, so we have a helpful and in-depth article on how to wear a pear shaped ring, so check it out too!
