Pear Silver Necklace Collection  

Pear Shape Necklace Guide: Cut and Style

The pear cut originated in 1458 when Flemish polisher Lodewijk van Berquem developed the technique that made this hybrid shape possible. Combining elements of round and marquise cuts, the pear shape typically features 58 facets that maximize light return through the stone's curved surfaces. Natural gemstones in this cut require careful orientation during setting, as the pointed end needs protective prong placement to prevent chipping. Our sterling silver pear necklaces showcase stones sourced from deposits worldwide. Each piece uses .925 sterling silver, the international standard containing 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for durability. The metal's bright white finish complements colored gemstones without competing for attention, letting the natural stone patterns and inclusions remain visible. Prices in this collection reflect stone size, rarity, and setting complexity. Browse the full range to find a pear-shaped pendant that fits your preferences and budget.
