- Is a pear cut good for an engagement ring?
- Yes. It is a classic fancy shape that faces up large and looks distinctive. Check the symmetry and the setting around the point, since that tip is the fragile part.
- How does a pear compare with an oval or round diamond?
- A pear usually looks bigger per carat than a round and has a more pointed, teardrop outline than an oval. Rounds hide flaws best and are the most forgiving; pears reward a well-cut stone.
- What should I check on the diamond before buying?
- Look at the cut, color and clarity grades, and ask for a certificate from a lab such as GIA. Inspect the tip and the bow-tie area, the darker band some pears show across the middle.
- Can this ring be resized?
- It is a size 7. Most plain 14K gold solitaire bands can be resized by a jeweler, but rings with diamond-set shoulders or thin bands are harder to resize. Ask before buying.
- Will the white gold need maintenance?
- Yes. White gold is rhodium plated for a bright white look, and the plating wears off over years. Re-plating is routine and inexpensive at most jewelers.
- Does it come with a certificate or appraisal?
- That depends on the seller. Ask whether a diamond grading report and an insurance appraisal are included before you buy.
