4.65ct DEW White Moissanite Pear Solitaire Ring

A teardrop of fire — the 4.65ct DEW White Moissanite Pear Solitaire Ring in 18K Gold Vermeil on 925 Sterling Silver, GRA certified. The pear cut (also known as teardrop) is among the most distinctive of all diamond shapes — combining the brilliant sparkle of a round cut at one end with the pointed elongation of a marquise at the other.

How is a pear cut typically worn — point toward or away from the hand?

There is no single correct answer, but tradition and most contemporary styling places the point of the pear cut away from the hand (toward the fingernail), with the rounded base closer to the palm. This orientation maximises the elongating effect on the finger and is how most major jewelers and editorial images present pear solitaires. Some wearers reverse this for deliberate contrast or personal preference — the point toward the palm creates a less conventional look that some find equally appealing. Neither is wrong; the choice is purely aesthetic.

What is the "bowtie effect" in a pear cut, and does moissanite have it?

The bowtie effect is a dark shadow that appears in the center of certain fancy-shape brilliant-cut stones (oval, pear, marquise) when light enters the stone at specific angles. It results from the geometry of the facet pattern and is not a flaw — it is inherent to the cut. Higher-quality cuts minimise the bowtie while lower-quality cuts exaggerate it. In a well-cut pear moissanite, the bowtie effect is minimal and not typically visible in normal viewing conditions. This GRA-certified pear moissanite is cut to standard that minimises the effect.
