The Zevara Pear Diamond Double Prong Solitaire Ring

Distinctive Pear Cut Diamond Ring with Secure Double Prong Solitaire Setting

The Zevara puts pear diamonds in double prongs, and honestly this cut needs all the help it can get. Pears are basically the most fragile diamond shape - you've got that sharp point at one end that's constantly vulnerable, plus curved sides that don't give you obvious spots for prongs.

Pear cuts are definitely not for everyone. They're distinctive enough that people notice them, which some love and others find too attention-grabbing. The teardrop shape can look elegant or weird depending on the proportions and how it's set. When they're good, they're really good. When they're not, they look awkward.

The double prong setup makes more sense with pears than almost any other cut. Traditional three-prong settings put one prong at the point, which leaves that vulnerable tip with minimal protection. The double prongs give you two contact points near the point area, plus better distribution along the curved sides where regular prongs can slide around.

Getting the orientation right matters with pears. Most people wear them point-out, but some prefer point-in toward the palm. Either way works, but the setting needs to be secure because if that point gets chipped, the whole stone is basically ruined.

Pear quality varies wildly. Length-to-width ratios range from stubby to super elongated. Some have bow tie effects like ovals do. The point needs to be well-formed, not too sharp or too blunt. It's one of those cuts where the individual stone matters more than the general specs.

This works if you want something that's definitely not ordinary. Pears have been around forever but they're not common enough to feel mainstream. The double prongs give you practical security for a cut that really needs it.
