Pearl Shape Diamonds

✦ Cut Origin

The Pear Shape Diamond, also known as the Teardrop Cut,
was created in 1458 by Flemish cutter Lodewyk van Bercken,
who invented the polishing wheel (Scaif) that revolutionized diamond cutting.
By combining the brilliance of the Round Brilliant with the elegance of the Marquise,
he crafted a diamond that embodies both softness and precision —
a perfect harmony between emotion and geometry.
Today, the pear shape graces Engagement Rings, Wedding Proposals,
Anniversary Jewelry, Wedding Anniversaries, and Tennis Bracelets,
symbolizing love that flows gracefully through life.

In designs, the pear cut represents emotional movement and timeless form:

In Tennis Bracelets, it creates a rhythm of continuous brilliance.
In Wedding Proposals, it sparkles with the heartbeat of sincerity.

✦ Symbolism

The pear combines the wholeness of a circle with the direction of a point,symbolizing the beginning and the continuation of love.
It embodies both tenderness and resilience —a jewel that carries emotion, light, and life.
