I am a sucker for pear-shaped pearl pendants, especially if they're earrings. I think it's because Princess Diana always wore those pearl pearl earrings with the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara:
These pear-shaped pearls are also often referred to as Oriental or Baroque pearls, although "Oriental" is an archaic name for them, and "Baroque" most often refers to misshapen pearls that are not shaped like pears. This is a selection of similar pear pearl pendant earrings:
