18ct rose gold pear shape diamond-set band engagement rings, handmade to order by our family workshop in the Cotswolds and set with a diamond you choose yourself. The pear shape is a teardrop diamond, rounded at one end and pointed at the other, with plenty of sparkle. A diamond-set band sets small diamonds along the band, so the ring sparkles from every angle.
The pear shape diamond
The pear is a brilliant cut shaped like a teardrop. It mixes the sparkle of a round with the length of a marquise, so it looks larger than its weight and lengthens the finger. Most people wear it with the point towards the fingertip. The band diamonds add sparkle without taking attention away from the pear centre stone.
Why a diamond-set band?
A diamond-set band runs small diamonds along the top of the band, for an almost unbroken line of sparkle. We offer micro pavé, grain-set and channel-set bands; channel setting protects the stones best for everyday wear.
Why 18ct rose gold?
18ct rose gold is 75% pure gold, warmed to a soft pink by a little copper in the alloy. It is not plated, so the colour never wears off, and it is slightly harder than yellow gold. Some of our rose gold designs set the diamond in a white platinum head for the whitest look, with the pink band around it. For a lower price, see our 9ct rose gold engagement rings.
Choosing your pear diamond
A ratio between 1.45 and 1.75 gives the classic teardrop. Look for even, rounded shoulders and a bow tie that is faint rather than dark. The point is protected by a claw on all our pear settings.
Choose your own diamond
Every ring is set with a centre diamond you choose yourself, natural or lab-grown, from our live stock. Each stone has its grading report, and the ring page shows the finished price before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Traditionally the point faces the fingertip, which makes the finger look longer. Some people prefer it the other way; just tell us when you order.
Usually by a size or so, depending on how far round the band the diamonds go. Order a free ring sizer to get the size right first time.
No. The colour comes from the copper in the alloy, all the way through the metal, so there is no plating to wear off. If anything, rose gold warms slightly with age.
