Best Pear Engagement Rings For Every Budget

Pear engagement rings are gaining popularity again. Their elegant, yet unique shape has an elongating effect on the finger and is perfect for a woman wanting to display her fun and flirty style.  

Pear engagement rings are beautiful, yet sometimes forgotten about when picking out a center stone shape. Their rounded bottom and angular top naturally elongate the finger for a unique and elegant look. A solitaire stone is always a classic and will allow you to place most of the budget into the center stone.  However, pear centers can also accommodate a range of styles. From halos to twisted or split shanks, there are plenty of choices to suit every taste. 

Picking out a diamond engagement ring can be daunting with so many options and factors to consider. Rings vary so greatly in price, but you do not have to break the bank in order to find a beautiful ring that fits your style and budget. There are going to be trade-offs when trying to decide what to choose, so it is important to figure out what you care about most so that you can maximize your budget.  In this guide, we have taken popular ring budgets and gave you options within each of these ranges to give you a closer look at pear engagement rings and all they have to offer!

Best Pear Engagement Rings Under $2500

What to Expect:

With a $2,500 budget, it is reasonable to expect around a 1/2 to 3/4-carat earth-mined or a 1-carat lab-grown center diamond. If you want a larger carat weight, be willing to go slightly lower on the color and clarity. Vice versa, if you prefer a more clear and colorless diamond, reduce your carat weight in order to stay within budget.

What to Expect:

When shopping for an engagement ring with a $10,000 budget, it is reasonable to expect over a carat for your center stone, no matter earth-mined or lab-grown.

If you choose to go the lab-grown route, you will most likely stay in the 1.5-2.0-carat center range, with plenty of options to choose colorless or near-colorless and a variety of clarity ranges. 

#1. Platinum Halo Engagement Ring

Find this Ring

This platinum stunner features a 1.15-carat earth-mined diamond with pave accents for an eye-catching design. This ring design is also unique because of how elongated the pear center stone is.

This particular pear is longer in shape, appearing slightly larger, without losing that dazzling sparkle that everyone desires. 

#2. Marquise Side Stone Diamond Engagement Ring

Find this Ring

If you are looking for a unique and trendy design, this marquise accented band is the way to go.

The distinctive shape of the marquise accentuates the unique design of the head and pear center. 

#3. Tapered Baguette Diamond Engagement Ring

Find this Ring

Opposite from the trendy rose gold band above, this ring radiates classic elegance. The vintage step design of the tapered baguettes is the perfect contrast to the brilliant cut of the center stone.

#4. Pear Shaped Diamond Engagement Ring With Pave Rope

Truly a modern "twist", this band is a whimsical and beautiful option for those wanting something a little bit different.

#5. Vintage Pear Engagement Ring

Find this Ring

Last but not least is this charming vintage white gold design. If you are looking to add a touch of romance to your ring design, consider adding milgrain and a few small diamonds like this ring above.
