Pear Cut Moissanite Pendant, 1ct to 3ct Certified

A pear cut points. That single detail is why it suits a pendant better than almost any other shape, because the taper follows the line of the neck downward instead of sitting as a blunt shape against the skin. Hung from the narrow end, it reads elegant rather than heavy even at three carats. A longer drop shape also means the stone catches light at several angles as you move, instead of in one fixed spot.

Each stone is GRA certified moissanite, so the colour and clarity grading is documented rather than asserted. The pear is also an unforgiving cut, since the point is the most fragile part of any gemstone, and it is set here with a protective claw over the tip so the most vulnerable corner is covered rather than exposed to knocks. Moissanite has a refractive index of about 2.65 and a Mohs hardness of 9.25, so the stone keeps its polish better than cubic zirconia, which sits near 8.

Pick one, two or three carats depending on how much presence you want. One carat layers invisibly under other chains. Three stands alone. The chain is 45cm, which lands just below the collarbone on most people, and the whole piece is s925 sterling silver in white gold, yellow gold or rose gold. If you are unsure, two carats is the safest size, because it reads clearly against bare skin and still looks balanced on a short chain.
