Because of its elongated shape, dramatic peak, and asymmetrical form, a pear cut engagement ring can be worn in different ways. Many choose a traditional north-south (or vertical) setting, and wear the north-south engagement ring so that the peak points up the finger. Turning the ring so that the peak points down is also an option, especially in Signature V or Hover settings.

Another way to wear a pear cut ring is in an east-west (horizontal) setting. The pear will appear to wrap around the top of your finger, creating a bold and abstract look. Choose to wear your own pear cut engagement ring in the way that is most beautiful and comfortable to you.

The pear cut ring can pose a unique challenge when it comes to creating a wedding ring set. Its elongated shape and point can bump up against or scratch an additional ring, depending on the setting.

When it comes to a traditional pear Solitaire Engagement Ring, it’s important to choose bands that will pair flush. Round, Flat, or Infinity bands are usually slim enough to line up with the ring with ease.

An open-cuff design can often fit nicely around the pointed edge of a pear diamond. But the slight dip of the Chevron Band or dramatic plunge of a Signature V Band are ideal and a popular choice for stacking with this shape.

You can match your pear shaped engagement ring with a wedding ring based on style or metal color. For Solitaire, Halo, Toi et Moi, or Three Stone engagement rings, for example, choose a petit Eternity, Infinity, or Devotion band in matching platinum or solid gold for the perfect pair.

For certain engagement settings, like the Signature V or Curator, consider pairing with their matching wedding band styles.
