Pear cut moissanite rings and pendants — designs where the teardrop silhouette combines characteristics of two different cuts into a single distinctive shape.
The pear cut has one rounded end and one pointed end, combining the structure of a round brilliant at the base with the pointed directional extension of a marquise at the tip. The result is a stone that returns light broadly from its round end while the point creates a lengthening, finger-elongating effect similar to a marquise cut.
In pendant settings, the pear cut hangs with the point downward, the rounded base at the top — a classic teardrop shape that suits necklaces as naturally as it suits rings. The asymmetric silhouette is recognisable from a distance in a way that round or oval stones are not.
In ring settings, the orientation matters. With the point facing toward the fingernail, the stone creates an elongating effect. With the rounded base outward, the ring reads differently — softer, more conventional. Both orientations are valid; the choice is aesthetic.
Moissanite's refractive index of 2.65 produces more fire from the pear cut's complex faceting than diamond at equivalent carat weights. The rounded end returns brilliant-cut light; the pointed end returns directional flashes. Both are amplified by moissanite's superior refraction.
