Should a pear diamond be worn point up or point down?

Both. Alternate to balance the polarity.

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

whichever way you feel looks best. There is no right or wrong.

Both styles seem fine.

I voted pointing up for this particular ring design.

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.

Hah, I would call that point up. I guess we should define those terms.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

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.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

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.

 

[cflutist]

I like to wear it pointing to my nails.

 

[HGar]

I voted down - which to me is pointed end pointing towards fingernail and away from heart (which is up)

 

[LilAlex]

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.

 

[jjca]

I always thought I liked it down - @Runningmama has totally changed my mind! What a beautiful ring!

 

[RunningwithScissors]

Love it both ways! If I had a pear, I think I'd wear it different directions on different days to keep it feeling new/fresh to me!

 

[Garry H (Cut Nut)]

I do not understand up or down???
Which is away from you? That is my preference.

 

[winetime12]

I prefer it pointing towards the tip of the finger, not sure if that's considered up or down? (I call it pointing down because I refer to the anatomical position of the body)

 

[dk168]

Can't tell as it is dependent upon the shape of the stone itself and the setting.

Of the setting inspirations for pears to date, which is very limited as I am not keen on pears and don't have one in my collection in CS and diamonds, natural or lab grown, they all have the curve side of the pear pointing away from the body.
