Shape
Pear-shaped diamonds, also known as teardrop diamonds, deliver stunning sparkle in a unique shape. With a brilliant, 58-facet pattern, distinctive curves, and single point, the pear is a hybrid of the round and marquise styles. This elongated diamond shape tends to look larger than it actually is.
With pear-shaped diamonds making up 2.2% of all Ritani diamonds sold, they are an unusual and eye-catching shape. Typically worn with the point facing down the finger – away from the hand – they have a flattering, elongating effect.
Pear-shaped diamonds are also a popular choice for custom jewelry, such as earrings and pendants.
If you would like to make your pear-shaped diamond appear larger, opt for a halo setting. A halo setting will also provide more sparkle. Or let this unique diamond shape stand out on its own with a solitaire setting.
The pointed tip on a pear-shaped diamond makes it prone to chipping. Purchase a setting that will protect the tip of the stone.
Ring Style
Solitaire engagement rings are the most popular setting style at Ritani. A benefit to solitaire engagement rings is that they are lower maintenance - rings with diamonds in the band can sometimes fall out. They also tend to be less expensive than other setting styles since they feature a plain band. Additionally, solitaire engagement rings are easy to pair with any wedding ring. Round solitaire engagement rings are a classic choice. Oval solitaire engagement rings are growing in popularity and offer a distinctive look. Looking for a rose gold solitaire engagement ring or a yellow gold solitaire engagement ring? Save some money by going down lower on the diamond's color scale. The warm hues of these metals will complement the diamond well.
Metal
Yellow Gold is a very popular choice for engagement rings. It works particularly well with fancy yellow diamonds or diamonds with a low color grade. The yellow metal will complement a yellow diamond very nicely and will mask the sometimes undesirable hue of a low color diamond.
Although yellow gold looks yellow like the color of gold, it is usually mixed with other alloys such as copper and silver, since pure gold is very soft and easily bent or scratched. The purity of gold is measured in karats. 24K (karat) yellow gold is 100% gold, while 18K yellow gold is only 75% gold.
