This is a dark area that occurs when the alignment and angles of the facets are not at their optimum. This facet misalignment can detract from the brilliance and the overall attractiveness. #2- As with the Marquise Cut, the pointed end of Pear Shape diamonds presents durability problems if it is too thin... a slightly thick to thick girdle should give the diamond enough strength especially if it is to be worn in a ring. An extremely thick girdle can cause difficulty in setting and it hides the weight below the girdle where you cannot see it (this is excessive weight that you are paying for!).
