Price Comparison — Pear Shape 1.5 Carat
Save 75–92% vs the natural equivalent. Same optical and chemical properties — different origin.
Pear shapes combine the elongation of an oval with the pointed tip of a marquise — resulting in one of the most flattering shapes for pendants and earrings, and an eye-catching choice for engagement rings. The point should always face toward the fingernail when worn.
At 1.5ct, you're in statement territory — noticeably larger than the 1ct benchmark, commanding attention without the cost spike of jumping to 2ct. The sweet spot for buyers who want undeniable presence without maximalist scale. Lab-grown makes this weight genuinely accessible.
A 1.5ct round measures around 7.4mm — about 14% larger face-up than a 1ct. The difference is clearly visible side-by-side and noticeable on the hand.
Color concentrates at the pointed tip. G or better for white settings — the tip is the most visible part of the stone and shows warmth first.
VS2 works well. Avoid inclusions near the tip — that area is structurally thinner and inclusions there are both more visible and slightly higher risk.
The tip requires a V-prong for protection. Pear pendants are spectacular — the elongated shape catches the light beautifully at the chest. For rings, orient point-toward-fingers for maximum slimming effect.
Excellent scale on hands size 6–8. On smaller hands, a 1.5ct makes a bold statement. Consider a slender band to maximize the visual impact of the stone.
"Every pear diamond we carry goes through the same QC process I applied when grading for export clients at SEEPZ. The cut grade isn't a box to check — it's the difference between a stone that looks alive and one that sits flat. For the 1.5 Carat pear, I look specifically at the bow-tie severity and tip definition. We don't carry stones that don't meet that standard."
