The intense hue is strong enough to become the focal point of a statement ring, yet refined enough to pair beautifully with delicate accent stones, and the pear shape offers versatility for bezel, prong, and halo settings, allowing a jeweler to craft designs that play with negative space and light. Mixed brilliant faceting was chosen to balance fire and overall brilliance, encouraging lively scintillation when the hand moves, and producing crisp flashes that emphasize the stone color without overpowering it.
