Want to know about an engagement ring that Katherine Heigl the actress chose? It’s the pear shaped engagement ring. Hers was a bit extra special since the band was made from platinum from her mom’s ring. Jessica Simpson is another actress who fell in love with this ring.
What is so great about the pear shape engagement ring? It maintains the familiar round shape of diamond engagement rings but one side is tapered to a point has the effect of a tear shape. It is seen as very feminine in look and appeal.
It is said that uses cuts like this allows the jeweler to get the most bang for the buck so to speak for the carat size of the stone bringing out the most sparkle for what’s there. Pear shaped engagement rings are most often the solitaire diamond. Tiffany and prong settings are the usual and the diamond is made to stand out best by setting it cross ways from the band itself.
Brides wonder whether they should wear the ring with the stone’s point away from them or toward them. It’s really your call but with a large diamond it feels better with point going away from you. And the look is nice with a long finger with the length of the diamond facing away.
The pear shape is found in other jewelry too including pendants, earrings and other rings other than engagement rings. They make nice gifts for anniversaries or any special occasion.
Just because the pear cut is a special cut you don’t have to spend a king’s ransom. There are many configurations of this ring from quite simple to very elaborate. Start looking around the jewelry stores, and even if they aren’t open right now you can check them out at sites like Blue Nile and the Amazon jewelry store.
