How Big Is a 5 Carat Pear Cut Lab Grown Diamond?
A 5 carat pear cut diamond measures approximately 17.0 x 10.0mm face-up with a classic length-to-width ratio of 1.45–1.75 — significantly larger and more commanding than a 4 carat pear cut at 15.0 x 9.0mm and the most breathtaking and legendary pear cut size available at Variation.

How to Choose the Best 5 Carat Pear Cut Lab Grown Diamond
Length-to-Width Ratio at the Pinnacle of 5 Carats
At 5 carats, the length-to-width ratio has the most dramatic and breathtaking impact on the pear cut's visual presence and legendary finger-spanning elegance of any size available. A ratio of 1.45–1.75 delivers the most classic and universally flattering pear proportion at 5 carats. The most popular ratio for a 5 carat pear cut is 1.60–1.70 — delivering a beautifully balanced teardrop form with exceptional presence and romantic elegance of incomparable and legendary proportion at the most extraordinary and pinnacle size we offer. Below 1.45 appears rounder and more compact at this legendary size; above 1.75 appears more elongated and dramatically slender — creating a more dramatic and finger-spanning presence at 5 carats.
Bowtie Effect at the Pinnacle of 5 Carats
At 5 carats, the bowtie effect is at its most visible in a pear cut — its largest available face-up surface area making any dark shadow across the center more immediately and clearly noticeable at this legendary and pinnacle weight than at any other size. A slight bowtie is normal and acceptable at 5 carats; a prominent bowtie significantly and dramatically reduces brilliance and detracts from the stone's distinctive romantic beauty at this legendary and pinnacle size. Always view the stone in high-resolution video before purchasing to thoroughly assess bowtie visibility at 5 carats.
Point Symmetry and Color at the Pinnacle of 5 Carats
At 5 carats, point symmetry is at the absolute pinnacle of critical importance for a pear cut diamond — any deviation from perfect alignment between the pointed tip and the rounded base apex is clearly and immediately visible from any distance at this extraordinary and legendary weight. Always choose Excellent symmetry grades and view the stone face-up before purchasing. For color, pear cuts retain color more visibly at the pointed tip at this pinnacle size than at any smaller weight — D color is strongly recommended for white gold or platinum settings at 5 carats.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is a 5 carat pear cut lab grown diamond?
A 5 carat pear cut diamond measures approximately 17.0 x 10.0mm face-up — significantly larger and more commanding than a 4 carat pear cut at 15.0 x 9.0mm. At this extraordinary and pinnacle size, the pear cut appears considerably larger than a 5 carat round brilliant — making it one of the most outstanding value and breathtakingly impressive choices for buyers seeking maximum visual size and distinctive romantic character at the most exceptional size we offer.
Which way should a 5 carat pear cut diamond face in a ring?
Traditionally the point of a pear cut diamond faces toward the fingernail when set in a ring — this is the most classic and dramatically finger-elongating orientation at 5 carats. At this extraordinary and pinnacle size, the elongating effect of the traditional point-up orientation is at its most breathtaking and legendarily flattering — its extraordinary 17.0 x 10.0mm form creating a finger-spanning presence of incomparable and legendary elegance. Some modern settings orient the point toward the hand for a contemporary east-west look — equally breathtaking and increasingly popular at this legendary and pinnacle size.
Is a 5 carat pear cut lab grown diamond good for an engagement ring?
Yes — a 5 carat pear cut engagement ring is a truly breathtaking and legendarily romantic choice at the most exceptional size we offer. Its graceful teardrop silhouette of incomparable and legendary proportion, exceptional brilliance, dramatic elongating presence, and distinctive romantic character make it an unforgettable and deeply meaningful choice for the most important purchase of your life. At up to 80% less than a natural diamond of the same quality, a 5 carat IGI certified lab grown pear cut offers extraordinary value at this legendary pinnacle size.
What is the difference between a 5 carat pear cut and oval cut lab grown diamond?
Both are elongated brilliant cuts at 5 carats delivering exceptional brilliance and a flattering elongating finger presence but they differ in shape and romantic character. A 5 carat oval cut measures approximately 15.0 x 10.0mm — delivering a smooth, symmetrical elliptical outline of legendary elegance. A 5 carat pear cut measures approximately 17.0 x 10.0mm — delivering a more distinctive romantic teardrop silhouette with a pointed tip and rounded base that is slightly longer and more dramatically distinctive at this pinnacle size. The pear cut is more dramatically romantic and distinctively legendary; the oval cut is more universally flattering and symmetrically elegant at this most exceptional size.
What color and clarity should I choose for a 5 carat pear cut lab grown diamond?
At 5 carats, D color is strongly recommended for white gold or platinum settings — color concentrates at the pointed tip and is at its most critically visible at this legendary and pinnacle size. VVS1 clarity or higher is strongly recommended — pay particular attention to inclusions near the pointed tip which are both the most visible and most vulnerable at this extraordinary and pinnacle size. All diamonds at Variation are available in D, E and F color grades and our experts can guide you to the finest quality at 5 carats.
