Pear-Shaped Lab-Grown Diamond 6.5×4.5 mm, Loose

A pear-shaped lab-grown diamond, 6.5 x 4.5 mm, D to F color, VVS clarity, sold individually. A teardrop shape, rounded at one end and pointed at the other.

Where pear shapes are used

A teardrop has a direction, so it's always used to guide the eye: pointing down on a pendant, as a pair of side stones with tips turned toward the center, or as the main stone on an index-finger ring. Set the right way and the piece has rhythm; set the wrong way and it shows at once.

This is the largest size among Thảo Linh's loose stones, big enough to stand alone as the center of a small piece, not just as a side stone.

The point is the thing to watch

The tip of a pear is much thinner than its body, so it's the spot most likely to chip on impact. That's not a flaw in the stone, it's the geometry of the shape.

So when setting, our setter always protects the tip with a dedicated V-prong that wraps it fully instead of leaving it exposed. If you wear it daily, especially on a ring, accept a slightly thicker tip prong in exchange for keeping the stone safe.

Alignment and balance

A pear must sit exactly in line with the axis of the piece; a few degrees off and the eye catches it immediately, because the point makes the axis very obvious. Our setter aligns it before fixing the prongs and checks from several angles afterwards.

Used as a pair, the two stones must match in both length and curve, so buy them from the same lot. Measurements are given in two dimensions because it isn't round and has no ly size.

Care

Take it off for manual work, cleaning and sports, because the point doesn't take knocks well. This advice applies more strictly than for round or corner-cut rectangular shapes.

Clean with warm water and a soft brush, paying attention to the underside near the tip, where buildup collects most. Have the tip prong checked every few months.
