Diamond pear shape (or tear drop)

Seduction in the form of a tear of joy.

The pear-shaped diamond shines with great femininity. Its asymmetry makes its shape particularly soft and attractive, round at one end, pointed at the other.

Illustrious pear cut diamonds

Let's mention the "Sancy", which weighed 55 carats and passed through the hands of Charles the Bold, James I of England, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Louis XVI to finally disappear during the French Revolution and take place in the Louvre since 1979.

Closer to home, the famous "Taylor-Burton" pear diamond belonged to the most volcanic couple in American cinema and made headlines around the world. This 69-carat pear diamond was cut from a 241-carat rough diamond discovered in 1966 in the Premier Mine in South Africa. Elizabeth Taylor sold it in 1978 to raise money for the construction of a hospital in Botswana. The actress has published a book about her jewelry, Elisabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry, and defines herself as the custodian, not the owner, of her gems.

And very recently, in 2006, a magnificent pear-shaped diamond "Lesotho Promise I" was the largest stone cut from the 603-carat rough diamond, the "Lesotho Promise", discovered in the "Letseng" mine, the highest diamond mine in the world. The "Lesotho Promise I" is a pear-shaped diamond of 76.41 carats. It has the highest clarity (IF) and the best color (D).
