1.5-carat pear-shaped diamond – Size

1.5-carat pear-shaped diamonds

At 1.5 carats, this teardrop-shaped stone measures approximately 9.7 × 6.3 mm and visibly elongates the finger. Because elongated shapes tend to concentrate color at the tip, G is the safer choice, while H works well in yellow or rose gold. VS2 remains a reliable choice for clarity. Lab-grown diamonds are significantly less expensive than comparable natural diamonds.

What to Look for in Teardrop-Shaped Diamonds

What Really Matters When It Comes to the Cut

There is no standard cut grade for pear-shaped diamonds. What matters are symmetry, polish, and the length-to-width ratio, which is traditionally between 1.45 and 1.65. Check whether the point sits exactly on the central axis of the crown and whether the shoulders are evenly rounded. The “bow tie”—the dark cross-shadow in the centre—should also remain inconspicuous in the stone’s appearance.

Colour and Clarity in the Round Brilliant Cut

As with all elongated shapes, body colour tends to concentrate at the tip. Grades G through H still look clean there, but for larger stones, grades F through G are the safer choice. Brilliant-cut facets are good at concealing inclusions, so VS2 and often SI1 stones appear eye-clean. Just make sure there are no inclusions directly in or near the tip.

Size in millimeters per carat

A 1-carat pear-shaped diamond measures approximately 8.5 × 5.5 mm; a 1.5-carat stone measures approximately 9.7 × 6.3 mm; and a 2-carat stone measures approximately 10.7 × 6.9 mm. The length is thus significantly greater than the diameter of a round stone of the same weight, which makes the pear-shaped diamond appear particularly striking on slender fingers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the effect of a 1.5-carat drop?

Measuring approximately 9.7 mm in length, it takes up a noticeable portion of the finger's width and appears significantly larger than a round stone weighing 1.5 carats and measuring approximately 7.4 mm in diameter. The narrow tip further enhances the elongating effect.

Is the bow-tie more visible at 1.5 carats?

It could be one because the surface area is increasing. Good proportions keep the dark cross-shadow small and visible only from certain angles. The certificate does not evaluate this, so it’s worth taking a look at a photo or video of the stone.

Lab-grown diamond or natural diamond?

Lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are both composed of pure carbon and share the same crystal structure, hardness, and refractive index. The difference lies in their formation: one forms over millions of years in the Earth’s crust, while the other is created in a matter of weeks in a laboratory. Visually, they are indistinguishable without specialized laboratory equipment. Lab-grown diamonds are significantly less expensive than comparable natural diamonds, which is why you can often get more carats or a higher clarity grade for the same budget. Both types are certified by IGI or GIA; you can look up the report number directly with the lab.
