Trends in jewelry often simmer quietly before they boil over. But 2025? The year flipped pear-shaped diamonds turned into a full-on style statement , and it all started with two unforgettable red carpet moments.
At Cannes, Alia Bhatt arrived in a custom Gucci sari, hair blow dried, skin dewy, and ears catching every camera flash. The focal point? A pair of clean, inverted pear diamond studs. Just two bold stones turned point-down, dripping quiet luxury.
Then came Khloé Kardashian at the Bezos wedding in Positano. Matching the coastal opulence, she styled a slick back bun and a custom pink gown with , you guessed it , inverted pear studs. Timeless, but turned.
What exactly is an inverted pear diamond?
Traditionally, pear-shaped diamonds are worn with the pointed tip facing up. It’s elegant, it’s elongating, and it's been the standard forever. Inverted pears flip that script , the point faces downward. The energy shifts completely. Instead of soft and floaty, it feels grounded, modern, and deliberate.
It’s a subtle move, but it changes the silhouette entirely.
Why it’s trending now
Jewelry has entered its confident era. Buyers want strong lines, sculptural forms, and quiet rebellion. Inverted pears tick all those boxes. They’re still classic, still wearable, but just different enough to feel fresh.
What makes them even more appealing is how they work in studs. The downward taper adds movement and drama to a format that’s typically safe. Suddenly, diamond studs don’t feel “everyday.” They feel like an edit-worthy moment.
More than red carpet , they’re going bridal too
This year alone, we’ve designed multiple engagement rings with upside-down pear center stones. Some sit solo in chunky bezels, others are paired in toi et moi rings with radiant cuts or marquises. We’ve even seen brides wearing inverted pear drop studs as their “something new” , modern heirlooms in the making.
The trend is spreading into necklaces, tennis drops, pinky rings, and even signets. It’s safe to say, this isn’t a fleeting moment. It’s a shape redefined.
Azzallure’s take on inverted pears
We saw this coming. There’s something inherently sculptural about the inverted pear. It lends itself to bold settings , matte gold, blackened bezels, or asymmetrical layouts. It doesn’t try to be traditional. It doesn’t try to be trendy either. It just works.
Our signature take? A pair of 4-carat lab-grown pears flipped and set in a chunky gold claw stud. No backing. Just boldness. We also recently completed a bespoke set using grey inverted pears framed in champagne halos , a soft rebellion that sold out before we could shoot it.
Thinking about your first pair?
This is the perfect moment to invest in inverted pears. Whether natural or lab, studs or solitaires, the shape instantly upgrades any piece. And with celebs co-signing it, the momentum is only going up.
