Frequently asked questions
Understanding Pear Cut:
What is pear cut?
"What is pear cut stud earrings?"
The teardrop shape, romantic, distinctive, and elegantly asymmetrical.
The design:
Pear cut (also called "teardrop") features one rounded end tapering to a delicate point. It's a blend of round cut studs and marquise cuts, combining round's curved softness with marquise's elongated point.
Created in the 1400s by Flemish diamond polisher Lodewyk van Berquem, pear cut has been chosen for its romantic elegance for over 500 years.
The shape:
- Rounded bottom: Full, soft curve creating feminine elegance.
- Pointed top: Delicate tip providing distinctive teardrop silhouette.
- Asymmetrical beauty: Unlike symmetrical cuts (round cut studs, oval cut studs), pear's intentional asymmetry creates unique, expressive character.
The sparkle:
Pear cut features 58 brilliant-cut facets (same as round cut studs and oval cut studs), creating beautiful rainbow fire throughout the stone.
The emotional connection:
The teardrop shape carries romantic symbolism, tears of joy, celebration, happiness. Many choose pear cut for its expressive, meaningful form.
In moissanite:
Pear cut moissanite combines romantic teardrop elegance with exceptional brilliance. Moissanite's higher refractive index (2.65-2.69) creates more rainbow fire than diamond in this romantic shape.
Our pear studs:
Available in 0.5ct (4x6mm) and 1ct (5x8mm). D-colour, VVS1 clarity moissanite in four-claw settings with protective prong at the delicate point.
Pairs beautifully with:
Tennis necklace moissanite + tennis bracelet moissanite for romantic formal elegance
Eternity bands moissanite for continuous romantic symbolism round cut studs for contrasting shapes, romantic pear + classic round
Why is it called pear cut?
"Why is it called pear cut?"
The shape resembles a perfect pear, wide at bottom, tapering to pointed top.
The name:
"Pear cut" describes the silhouette precisely, just like the fruit, it's rounded at one end and tapers to a point.
Also called "teardrop" for its resemblance to a drop of water or a joyful tear.
Sometimes called "pendeloque" cut, the historical French term for this shape.
The history:
- 1400s: Created by Lodewyk van Berquem in Flanders (now Belgium). He invented the diamond polishing machine that made this precise asymmetrical shape possible.
- Initially unpopular: Despite its beauty, pear cut was originally criticized because more rough diamond was lost during cutting compared to other shapes.
- Renaissance: The shape persisted through centuries because of its distinctive romantic elegance.
- Modern fame: Elizabeth Taylor's legendary 69.42-carat pear cut diamond (the Taylor-Burton diamond) made the shape iconic in the 1960s-1970s.
- Today: Chosen by those who appreciate romantic, expressive jewellery with distinctive character.
The meaning:
The teardrop silhouette carries emotional resonance, tears of joy at weddings, celebration, happiness, meaningful moments.
Many choose pear cut specifically for this romantic symbolism.
Our pear studs:
The classic teardrop elegance in D-colour, VVS1 moissanite, romantic form with exceptional brilliance.
Are pear cut earrings flattering?
"Are pear cut earrings flattering?"
Yes, the elongated teardrop creates vertical lines that suit most face shapes.
By face shape:
- Round faces: The vertical orientation and pointed tip create length and structure.
- Oval faces: The flowing teardrop complements natural balanced proportions.
- Heart-shaped faces: The wider rounded bottom balances narrower chins beautifully.
- Square faces: The soft curves and elegant taper soften angular jawlines.
The elongating effect:
Like oval studs moissanite, pear creates vertical emphasis. The pointed tip draws the eye upward, creating flattering length.
Size considerations:
- 0.5ct (4x6mm): Romantic elongation without overwhelming. Works for daily and formal wear.
- 1ct (5x8mm): Dramatic teardrop presence. The 8mm length creates striking vertical emphasis with bold romantic sparkle.
Compared to other cuts:
- Pear Studs vs Round Studs: Round is more universally flattering due to perfect symmetry. Pear creates distinctive romantic elongation.
- Pear Studs vs Oval Studs: Both elongate. Oval is symmetrical/versatile, pear is romantic/expressive.
- Pear Studs vs Emerald Studs: Similar elongation. Pear has romantic curves + sparkle, emerald has angular lines + minimal fire.
The romantic factor:
Pear's soft curves create feminine, graceful aesthetic. The asymmetry adds distinctive character, confident, expressive styling.
What makes pear cut unique?
"What makes pear cut unique?"

Does pear cut moissanite sparkle as much as diamond?
"Does pear cut moissanite sparkle as much as diamond?"
Pear cut moissanite sparkles more, moissanite's higher refractive index creates more rainbow fire.
The brilliance difference:
- Pear cut moissanite: Higher refractive index (2.65-2.69) + 58 brilliant facets = MORE rainbow sparkle than diamond.
- Pear cut diamond: Lower refractive index (2.42) + 58 brilliant facets = beautiful sparkle, but less rainbow fire.
What you'll see:
Both create brilliant sparkle, the 58 facets ensure this. The difference: moissanite shows noticeably more colourful fire.
In pear cut specifically, this is stunning. The romantic teardrop showcases moissanite's extra fire beautifully, more rainbow flashes from rounded bottom through to delicate point.
The faceting:
Pear cut uses brilliant-cut faceting (same as round studs moissanite) and oval studs moissanite)—58 facets arranged to maximize light return and create rainbow fire.
These facets work the same in both moissanite and diamond. The difference in sparkle comes from the material itself, not the cutting.
Why moissanite sparkles more:
Moissanite's crystal structure bends light more dramatically. This creates more rainbow flashes, what gemologists call "fire."
In the romantic teardrop form, this extra fire creates exceptionally beautiful brilliance.
Visual comparison:
To most people, both look like brilliant sparkling teardrops. The difference: moissanite has more colourful rainbow fire that's particularly noticeable in bright light or sunlight.
Our quality:
D-colour (completely colourless), VVS1 clarity moissanite ensures the fire you see is clean, intense brilliance, not colour tints or inclusions. Just pure romantic sparkle.
In other cuts for comparison:
All brilliant cuts round cut studs moissanite, oval cut studs moissanite, radiant cut studs moissanite, show moissanite's extra fire. The teardrop's 58 facets create beautiful romantic brilliance that exceeds diamond.
Pear Cut vs Other Cuts:
Pear vs oval, which is better?
"Pear vs oval, which is better?"

Styling & Wearing:
Should I choose 0.5ct or 1ct pear studs?
"Should I choose 0.5ct or 1ct pear studs?"
0.5ct for romantic daily-to-formal versatility. 1ct for bold romantic statement.
Here's what you're choosing between:
- 0.5ct (4x6mm):
Romantic teardrop elegance without overwhelming. The 6mm length creates noticeable elongation with soft feminine presence.
Works for professional settings, daily wear (if you love romantic styling), and formal occasions.
- 1ct (5x8mm):
Bold romantic statement. The 8mm length creates dramatic teardrop with intense romantic presence.
Most people choose this size specifically for weddings, romantic formal events, or when they want earrings to be an expressive focal point.
How to decide:
- If you want one versatile pair that works for many occasions from professional to romantic formal: choose 0.5ct.
- If you already have everyday earrings (perhaps our round studs moissanite) and want pear studs specifically for romantic occasions: choose 1ct for maximum teardrop impact.
- If you love bold romantic jewellery and have expressive feminine style: choose 1ct.
The romantic factor:
Both sizes feature the distinctive teardrop creating romantic elegance. The 1ct simply has more surface area to display that romantic presence, amplified teardrop beauty.
Complete styling:
- 0.5ct pear: Pair with tennis bracelet moissanite for romantic elegance
- 1ct pear: Pair with tennis necklace moissanite + tennis bracelet moissanite for complete romantic formal sparkle

Can you wear pear studs every day?
"Can you wear pear studs every day?"
You can, though the romantic teardrop feels more formal than some prefer for daily wear.
Why pear studs work for daily wear:
- Comfortable: Sit flush against ear despite asymmetrical shape. Lightweight.
- Secure: Four-claw settings with protective prong at point keep stones safely mounted.
- Versatile: The romantic elegance works from professional to casual settings.
- Quality: Moissanite (9.25 Mohs hardness) won't scratch or dull with daily wear.
The romantic consideration:
Pear's expressive teardrop creates romantic, distinctive presence, more intentional than simple studs.
This level of character feels more formal/special to some people. Others love the daily romantic elegance.
More common daily choices:
- Round studs moissanite 0.3ct: Most universally chosen for daily wear, timeless sparkle works everywhere.
- Oval studs moissanite 0.5ct: Romantic brilliance with more versatile symmetry for daily styling.

- 0.5ct size: More appropriate for daily than 1ct, romantic elegance without overwhelming.
- Clean monthly: The 58 facets accumulate oils that dull sparkle. Regular cleaning maintains brilliance.
- Protective setting: Our four-claw setting includes protective prong at delicate point for daily wear safety.

What should I wear with pear studs?

How should I wear pear studs, point up or down?
How should I wear pear studs—point up or down?"
Point UP (toward top of ear), this is the classic, most flattering orientation.
Point up (recommended):
The delicate point aims toward the top of your ear, rounded bottom sits at earlobe.
Why this works:
- Creates upward visual movement, elongates and lifts
- The point draws the eye upward, creating flattering length
- Most traditional and widely preferred orientation
- Complements face shape by creating vertical emphasis
Point down (alternative):
The point aims downward toward shoulder, rounded bottom sits at top of earlobe.
When this works:
- Some prefer the "teardrop" orientation (like a falling tear)
- Can create softer, more romantic appearance
- Less common but perfectly acceptable if you prefer it
Which is "correct":
Both are fine, it's personal preference. The vast majority wear point UP for the flattering upward visual movement.
Try both ways:
When you receive your pear studs, try both orientations in the mirror. See which feels right for your face shape and aesthetic.
Our setting:
Our four-claw setting works beautifully in either orientation, though designed with point-up as the traditional preference.
Complete styling:
However you wear your pear studs, they pair beautifully with tennis necklace moissanite + tennis bracelet moissanite for romantic formal elegance.
Can I wear pear studs in second piercings?
"Can I wear pear studs in second piercings?"
Yes, the 0.5ct size works beautifully in graduated romantic styling.
The graduated approach:
- First piercing (largest): Your primary studs, choose your preferred romantic cut. Example 1ct oval stud earrings (5x7mm)
- Second piercing (smaller): 0.5ct Pear stud earrings (4x6mm) provides romantic teardrop elegance.
Example combinations:
Option 1: Pear studs 0.5ct in first + Round studs 0.3ct (4.5mm)] in second
- Classic sparkle + romantic teardrop
- Circular + teardrop contrast
Option 2: Oval studs 1ct (7x5mm) in first + Pear studs 0.5ct in second
- Both elongated romantic, different shapes (symmetrical vs asymmetrical)
- Romantic + expressive romantic
Option 3: Pear studs 1ct (5x8mm) in first + Pear studs 0.5ct in second
- Matching teardrops, graduated sizes
- Cohesive romantic styling
Option 4: Radiant studs 1ct (5x7mm) in first + Pear studs 0.5ct in second
- Geometric bold + romantic soft
- Maximum fire + romantic curves
Why pear works for second piercings:
The romantic teardrop creates distinctive visual interest without competing. The soft curves complement rather than overwhelm.
Point orientation:
Both pear studs point UP (toward top of ear) for cohesive upward visual movement and flattering elongation.
Styling principle:
Largest stone closest to your face (first piercing), progressively smaller as you move up the ear. This creates balance.

"Are pear studs appropriate for all ages?"
Yes, though the romantic expressive aesthetic particularly appeals to those who've developed confident personal style.
Age considerations:
- 20s-30s: Often drawn to pear for its romantic, distinctive character. The expressive teardrop feels contemporary and meaningful.
- 40s-50s: Frequently choose pear when seeking romantic elegance with expressive character. The vintage glamour associations suit established style.
- 60s+: Those with romantic, feminine aesthetics appreciate pear's timeless teardrop elegance regardless of age.
The romantic aesthetic:
Pear appeals to those who already appreciate romantic, expressive styling, soft femininity, vintage glamour, distinctive character.
Age matters less than personal aesthetic and design appreciation.

- Pear stud earrings: More specific. Perfect for romantic, expressive aesthetics, regardless of age.
- Oval stud earrings moissanite: Romantic but more versatile than pear. Works across ages for those drawn to elegance.
For gifting across generations:
- For younger recipients with romantic style: Pear works beautifully if they appreciate expressive feminine aesthetics.

- For those with established romantic style: Pear works elegantly regardless of age, 20s to 80s.
The key factor:
Personal style and aesthetic appreciation matter more than age. If someone loves romantic, expressive, feminine jewellery, pear suits them whether they're 25 or 65.
