About the Diya Drop Pear Solitaire Ring
A pear-cut stone sits raised in five claws on the Diya, above a band left completely plain: smooth, slim, polished, with nothing set into it. That restraint is deliberate. A pear is the most directional cut there is, and it needs an empty shank underneath it or the eye has nowhere to rest. The ring is 18k PVD gold plated 316L surgical-grade stainless steel with Pellington engraved inside.
Which way a pear-cut stone should point
Point towards the fingernail is the usual answer, because the taper draws the eye along the finger and makes the hand look longer. Point towards the wrist is the less common choice and reads as more modern. Neither is wrong. What matters is that the five claws hold it in one orientation, so decide before you wear it rather than expecting it to turn.
Diya, and light itself
Diya means radiance, light in its own right rather than reflected. It is the name most obviously matched to what the piece does. The rest are set out on The Names Behind the Pieces.
Working a raised setting past a knuckle
The five claws stand higher than a flush setting, so the ring passes the knuckle less easily than the width of its band suggests. Take the larger size if you are between two, and turn the stone into your palm as you push it on so the claws clear the joint. Sizes 6, 7 and 8, with 30 days to exchange an unworn size.
A plain band, and what wears it down
On a smooth slim shank the inner surface is where any plated finish thins first, because that is the part in constant contact with skin. Nothing you do with water changes that: showers, the gym, the pool and the sea are all fine, and the colour holds without tarnishing. Take it off for heavy lifting rather than for swimming. The 12-month warranty covers discolouration, plating that lifts and a claw that gives way. Free UAE delivery on every order with no minimum, next day before 5 PM.
