Pear
A teardrop that reads as both classic and a little unexpected.
What it is
A teardrop: one rounded end, one point.
Why people love it
- Lengthens the finger more than any shape but the marquise.
- Distinctive without being loud.
Trade-offs
- The point needs a V-prong to protect it.
- Can show a bow-tie.
- Worn point-up or point-down is a decision to make.
