Natural Gemstone Teardrop Earrings Set in .925 Silver
The pear cut originated in 1458 when Flemish polisher Lodewyk van Berquem developed the scaif, a polishing wheel that allowed asymmetrical faceting. This shape demands precise 58-facet geometry: the rounded end requires brilliant-cut angles while the pointed tip needs marquise-style alignment. When set in earrings, this cut creates vertical movement that draws the eye downward. Our pear shape earrings feature stones across the hardness spectrum. You will find options from softer turquoise (Mohs 5-6) to harder topaz and amethyst (Mohs 7). Each stone is natural, not synthetic or lab-created. Settings range from simple prong mounts to more elaborate silver work that frames the teardrop shape. SilverRush Style has specialized in sterling silver jewelry since 2005. Browse by stone type, price point, or specific dimensions. Questions about a particular pair? Our product pages include exact measurements and stone origin details.Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pear shape and teardrop earrings?
Pear shape and teardrop describe the same cut: a rounded bottom tapering to a single point at the top. Jewelers use both terms interchangeably for this 58-facet asymmetrical design.
Should pear shaped earrings point up or down?
Most pear earrings hang with the point facing down, which creates a lengthening effect on the face. Some stud designs position the point upward toward the earlobe for a different visual balance.
What face shape suits pear shaped earrings?
Pear earrings complement round and square face shapes by adding vertical lines that create length. The tapered point draws attention downward, balancing wider cheekbones or jawlines.
