1.50ct Pear-Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Solitaire Pendant in 14ct White Gold – IGI Graded

The Pear Brilliant Cut Diamond — A Study in Proportion and Light

The pear brilliant cut has a long history in diamond jewellery. Its origins are generally traced to the fifteenth-century Flemish diamond cutter Lodewyk van Bercken, whose developments in polishing helped make more elaborate diamond shapes possible. The pear shape combines a rounded end with a tapering point, demanding particular care in the balance of its outline.

It is a cut that rewards close examination. The relationship between the shoulders, the curve of the stone and its pointed tip determines much of its character. In a solitaire pendant, where there is little surrounding ornament to distract the eye, those proportions become especially important.

This 1.50-carat example has the lively brilliance and clean silhouette that make the shape so appealing.

What the IGI Grading Tells Us

The CountryClubuk Brilliance Collection is selected with close attention to its grading.

The E colour grade places this stone within the colourless range, just one grade below the highest possible classification. Its VS1 clarity indicates very slight inclusions, ordinarily difficult to discern even under ten-times magnification.

The IGI report also records Excellent polish and Excellent symmetry. These are assessments of the stone’s finish and facet alignment, rather than an overall cut grade — an important distinction with fancy-shaped diamonds such as this pear brilliant cut.

Together, the grades describe a diamond of notably fine quality, with its principal characteristics independently documented.

A Different Origin, the Same Diamond

The distinction between mined and laboratory-grown diamonds is one of origin, not chemical identity. Both are crystalline carbon, with the hardness and optical properties that have made diamonds prized for centuries.

A laboratory-grown diamond is produced under controlled conditions rather than formed naturally deep within the earth. That difference in origin has also changed the economics of fine jewellery, making larger, high-grade stones available at prices that would once have seemed improbable.

For this pendant, it means a diamond of just over a carat, with E colour and VS1 clarity, offered to Members at a price that leaves considerable room for pleasure in the purchase.

The pendant is one of 14 pieces chosen for the CountryClubuk Brilliance Collection.

We have favoured designs that allow the stones themselves to take precedence. Here, the pear-cut diamond is held in a restrained 14ct white-gold setting, with a matching chain that keeps the composition light and beautifully balanced.

The pendant arrives in a smart jewellery presentation box, accompanied by its IGI grading report, a separate insurance valuation certificate and our full money-back guarantee.
