Pear Shape Jewelry in Sterling Silver  

Why Teardrop Cuts Work With Natural Gemstones

The pear cut works with the natural crystal structure of most gemstones rather than against it. Cutters can preserve more rough material while enhancing light return through the stone's body. This makes pear shapes practical for softer stones like turquoise (Mohs 5-6) and larimar (Mohs 4.5-5), where material conservation matters. Harder stones like amethyst and blue topaz (both Mohs 7) show strong brilliance in this cut due to their higher refractive indices. Sterling silver settings complement pear shape stones without competing for attention. The .925 silver alloy provides structural integrity for prong settings while keeping focus on the gemstone's color and cut. Our inventory includes pear cuts ranging from 6mm accent stones to statement pieces over 25mm in length. We have operated from the US since 2005, shipping direct from our warehouse with no minimum order. Each piece arrives with the natural stone identified and silver content verified.
