Are pear-shaped diamonds durable?

Pear-shaped diamonds are durable but require careful handling due to their pointed tip, which is more susceptible to chipping. Choosing a protective setting, such as a bezel or halo, can enhance the diamond’s durability. Regular maintenance and proper care will also help preserve the ring’s beauty and longevity.
