This Pear Cut diamond pendant is modern and gorgeous. Originally called "pendeloque" or "briolette”, the pear cut diamond shape originated in the 1400s in Belgium. Daring stonecutters could experiment with shapes and faceting because of a new polishing wheel that allowed for precise faceting and more complex cuts.

The Pear Cut gained popularity over the centuries, especially for diamond pendants and earrings. Those with means, mostly royalty and nobility, collected pear cut diamonds and commissioned the most gorgeous adornment, including crowns, for these beloved stones. In the 20th century, the popularity of Pear Cuts waned. The cut experienced a resurgence when Hollywood royalty embraced the shape. Elizabeth Taylor donned a famous 69-carat diamond, an iconic piece she debuted in the late 1960s. This drove up demand for the Pear Cut and exposed new audiences to the potential and beauty of this sensual shape. 

Today, the Pear Cut is a timeless, excellent choice for a special stone. Advances in stone cutting mean that today’s pear cuts are very sparkly and exceptionally beautiful.
