20 Carat D VVS1 Pear Shape Diamond Ring
The center stone is a 20.56-carat D VVS1 Pear Shape natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 700774). Twenty-carat-plus pear shapes graded D color represent an extreme rarity in annual GIA submissions — at this weight and grade combination, the stone occupies a category where fewer than a handful of comparable specimens enter the market in any given year, and supply shows no structural path to increase.
GIA Grading: D Color and VVS1 Clarity
GIA grades white diamond color on a scale from D through Z, with D representing the absence of any detectable color — the highest designation on the scale. At this carat weight, even trace warmth would be perceptible face-up, making D color a material distinction rather than a nominal one. VVS1 clarity places the diamond at the upper boundary of the very-slightly-included range: inclusions are confined to the crown, require magnification to locate, and have no interaction with light transmission or optical performance.
Why Pear Shape at This Scale
The Pear Shape — a hybrid of the Round Brilliant and Marquise — concentrates the modified brilliant facet pattern into an elongated outline that maximizes apparent size relative to carat weight, a significant factor at the twenty-carat scale. The single culet point also allows the stone to extend visually toward the finger, producing a length-to-width ratio that reads larger than an equivalent round of the same mass. For colorless diamonds, the brilliant facet structure ensures that D color registers as pure white face-up under all lighting conditions.
Platinum Three-Stone Setting with Heart Shape Side Stones
Two Heart Shape side diamonds, 3.04 carats total weight graded D VS2, flank the center stone in a handmade platinum mount. Heart Shapes echo the curved silhouette of the pear without replicating it, creating visual symmetry without direct repetition. Platinum is the standard metal for settings of this caliber — its 950 purity, resistance to prong deformation, and neutral tone preserve the colorless character of D-graded stones over decades of wear.
