Determining the Ideal Proportions

The distinct appeal of a pear cut diamond is largely dictated by the ratio between its length and width. Whilst the traditional ratio ranges from 1.45 to 1.75, personal taste takes the front seat in making the choice—be it a long, slender shape or a shorter, compact one. Regardless of your preference, symmetry is a key aspect. The better the mirroring of the two halves, the superior the cut quality.
