I vote point up. Forgive the horrendous nighttime office lighting, but opinions need photos, right?

I voted pointing up for this particular ring design.

DK :))
 
I personally prefer it point down - pear's my favourite shape, but I've never worn it point up, which I know is the more common way.
 
I voted point down, just because that’s how I always wore my pear cut.

I like point up because it elongates the finger so that’s what I voted for ;)
 
HI:

Down. "Elongates" the ring and finger.

I couldn't vote.

"Whichever way you prefer" wasn't a choice.
 
Obviously as a grown woman you’re not asking strangers how to wear your ring, so “wear it however you want” really goes without saying. So I get that’s not the answer you’re looking for :)
If you’re asking how they’re traditionally worn, it’s point out a towards the nail.
If you’re asking which looks better to me? God I really hate point in, towards the hand.
Idk how I voted, apparently, because @Ally T out here saying up is down and left is right haha

I think maybe you and @YadaYadaYada are saying the same thing with opposite terms.
The reason it’s usually point towards the nail (which I think you’re both saying) is because your finger is wider at the base and thinner as it goes towards the nail, and the taper of the pear flatters that, worn the other way the perspective is off.
 
Right, I was saying wearing it with the point towards the nail elongates the finger. It’s your ring though so wear it however makes you happy.
 
I like to wear it pointing to my nails.

I voted down - which to me is pointed end pointing towards fingernail and away from heart (which is up)
 
Neither strikes me as wrong. "Point out" (or up) looks like a raindrop to me.

All my rings are a little asymmetric (e.g., color-wise) and I never know if I should get the best view or somebody else should.
