Pear Diamond Ring White Gold | Pero

Glen O

As I began to delve into the multiple layers of well packaged merchandise I started to feel like I was playing "pass the parcel" at a birthday party!

First the plastic envelope... RIP

Then another layer of plastic wrap... RIP

Then a few layers of bubble-wrap... tossed over my head

Then a big dark blue 1791 box (delicately saved for re-packing purposes)

Then a smaller dark blue 1791 box (again saved for re-packing)

Then a small ring box... which refused to open until I realized it had a tiny (maybe child resistant) lock..

Followed by the Mother Lode! WOW!

Thank you for such a nice piece of art. one that she will never see in a Michael Hill store!

Right from my first enquiry, the 1791 team impressed me with their care for detail and willingness to go to extra effort to provide quality service. I am living overseas but wanted a New Zealand made engagement ring for my Fiance. Ardouin from Customer Services organised the shipping and tackled the challenging French customs systems to get the ring safely across to the other side of the world. When it arrived it was perfectly crafted and beautifully designed. I needed to resize the ring and again Ardouin organised everything for the ring to be resized in Europe by a trusted jeweller. Throughout the entire process comunication was fantastic, even across so many timezones, and I felt completely at ease that the ring was safe. My fiance loves the ring and we will be in touch again soon to choose our wedding bands from 1791.

A single beautiful solitaire diamond can make a stunning statement for an engagement ring; remember, though, that your choice of diamond need not be restricted to the traditional round brilliant. Pero from 1791 Diamonds offers a striking alternative with a lovely pear diamond.

The pear, with its elegant tear drop shape, is a brilliant cut diamond and is half oval and half marquise and therefore offers a fabulous display of fire and brilliance. All 1791 diamonds are of either Excellent or Very Good cut - the very top cut grades - so you can be assured that your diamond will not show signs of the "bow tie" effect which can occur in some elongated fancy shaped diamonds. This is a dark area in the shape of a bow tie that occurs when the angles of the diamond cut are not optimum.

Some of the world's most valuable diamonds have been cut into the pear shape and have been the choice of the rich and famous. The best known is probably the 69 carat Taylor-Burton pear shaped diamond given by Richard Burton to Elizabeth Taylor. The Pero is certainly a glamorous diamond engagement ring, but rest assured, you will do not need to pay millions for this gorgeous ring!
