We’re doing a fun little community poll for our jewelry lovers today!🍐or💧

We usually call this cut Pear Shape Cut in China, as its outline looks like a pear. In Chinese culture, pear stands for profit and abundant harvest, so pear-shaped gems symbolize wealth gain and a fulfilling, lucky life.

But one of our Reddit friends shared she grew up calling it Teardrop Cut! This name sounds far more romantic. From Western legends, the teardrop shape represents Cupid’s Tears, meaning loyal, lifelong love. It’s a top pick for engagement rings, blessed by Cupid for everlasting romance.

Both names carry beautiful meanings! Now we’d love your vote: what do you call this iconic gem cut?

Thanks a million for your precious vote from Bocosjewelry!
