In the glittering universe of diamonds, the Pear Shape Diamond, with its unique and elegant silhouette, holds a special allure. Often referred to as the "teardrop diamond" due to its distinctive shape, the pear cut's history is as multifaceted and intriguing as the gemstone itself.
The Pear Shape Diamond finds its roots in the 1400s, credited to a Flemish polisher named Lodewyk van Berquem, known as the father of the modern cut. Van Berquem introduced absolute symmetry in the placement of facets, and it was his revolutionary work that led to the creation of the Pear Shape Diamond.
The pear cut combines the brilliance and form of both the round and marquise cuts. Its unique shape—round at one end and tapering to a point at the other—creates an elongated and slimming effect that has captured the imagination and adoration of diamond lovers for centuries.
The journey of the Pear Shape Diamond is a fascinating exploration of evolving tastes, technical advancements, and an enduring fascination with beauty and elegance. It reflects a continual quest for perfection in gem cutting, aiming to achieve maximum brilliance and fire.
Join us as we delve into the captivating history of the Pear Shape Diamond. From its birth in the hands of a Flemish innovator, through changing aesthetics over centuries, to its current status as a beloved and sought-after cut, the pear shape's journey is a sparkling testament to the art and science of diamond cutting.
