Why the Pear Cut Works for Natural Stone Pendants
The pear cut originated in 1458 when Flemish polisher Lodewyk van Berquem developed the scaif, a polishing wheel that allowed for symmetrical faceting. This shape has remained popular for centuries because it maximizes light return while creating visual length. When applied to natural stones like amethyst, topaz, labradorite, or turquoise, the pear silhouette draws the eye downward along the body of the pendant. Natural stones in pear cuts require careful orientation during the cutting process. Cutters position inclusions and color zones to appear at their best through the widest part of the stone. Our sterling silver settings protect the pointed tip, which is the most vulnerable area of any pear-cut gem. Prong placements at the point and along the curved edges secure stones rated anywhere from 5.5 to 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. SilverRush Style has offered natural stone jewelry since 2005. Browse this collection to find pear shape pendants in stones that match your preferences for color, origin, and price point.Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pear shape and teardrop pendants?
Pear shape and teardrop refer to the same cut geometry. Both terms describe a stone with one rounded end and one pointed end, resembling a drop of water.
Should pear pendants be worn point up or point down?
Most pear pendants hang with the point facing down, which creates a lengthening effect on the neckline. Point-up orientations exist but are less common in pendant designs.
Are pear shaped stones more fragile than round cuts?
The pointed tip of a pear cut is more prone to chipping than rounded shapes. Sterling silver settings with V-shaped prongs at the point help protect this vulnerable area from impact.
