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.
