Choosing between the marquise and the pear cuts can be difficult because both cuts have pros and cons and are very similar in their characteristics.
Both cuts are graceful with a vintage touch, elongate the fingers and make them appear slimmer. Both cuts are relatively less expensive diamond cuts and suit a range of ring settings. So, which to choose?
Indira: I love my marquise diamond because of its pointy elegant shape, but I have hurt people with it a few times when shaking hands! I think it looks very feminine.
Sara: I’ve always found marquise diamonds kind of meh, but pears are very stylish and ooze with sophistication. It also gives you more ways to wear it – with the pear pointing up or down – and looks like a dream with a curved band.
Til slutt, there’s no right or wrong answer here. Go by your preferences and personal tastes. While the pear cut tends to be more popular than the marquise, there’s no denying that both have a lot going for them.
