Seam Agate Pear Cabochon 24x16mm 16ct – Natural Gemstone Pedra Gems

Discover timeless teardrop elegance from Pedra Gems — our Natural Seam Agate Pear Shape Cabochon, a beautifully proportioned 24x16x5mm gemstone weighing 16 carats, cut into a classic balanced teardrop silhouette that sits in the sweet spot between slender and wide.

At 24x16mm this pear has a near 1.5:1 length-to-width ratio — one of the most universally flattering teardrop proportions in jewellery making. This golden ratio gives the stone a shape that is confidently a pear without being too elongated or too stubby — the rounded top curves generously before tapering smoothly into a strong, elegant point below. A teardrop that jewellers and buyers instinctively recognise as perfect.

✦ Why This Pear?
The 24x16mm proportions produce what many jewellers consider the most classic and versatile pear ratio — wide enough to display the natural Seam Agate banding generously across the face, long enough to hang beautifully as a drop pendant and create elegant downward movement on the neckline.

Compared to our slender pears (26×13mm, 27×12mm) this stone is noticeably wider — more substantial, more generous, more visually rich. Compared to our wider pears (23×18mm, 26×16mm) it is more distinctly teardrop in character — the shape reads clearly as a pear rather than a rounded oval.

The pointed tip provides a natural anchor point for wire wrapping, while the wide rounded top gives ample room for decorative wire work across the upper face. At 16 carats the stone has excellent weight for a pendant centrepiece — substantial enough to feel premium while remaining comfortable for daily wear.

The 5mm dome adds rich depth and beautiful light play across the polished natural agate surface — a warm, glowing presence that catches the eye naturally from every angle.

✦ About Seam Agate:
Seam Agate is a natural chalcedony formed within rock seams and fissures, producing its characteristic richly layered banding in warm, earthy tones. No two stones from Pedra Gems share the same pattern, colour, or flow — every cabochon is a completely unique piece of natural art.

Celebrated for its grounding and stabilising energy, Seam Agate is beloved by crystal practitioners and artisan jewellers worldwide. Its warm earthy tones complement sterling silver, gold-filled, and copper wire settings beautifully.
