Other names for the Asian pear include Japanese pear, Chinese pear, Taiwanese pear, Nashi pear, Oriental pear, Sand pear, salad pear, and Korean pear. They are also called apple pears because of their shape and because they have a crisp texture similar to apples.
The Pear shape looks like a drop of water or a teardrop and is a combination of the round and marquise brilliant cuts. On one end, it has a round or oval shape, while the other half resembles a marquise with the sides tapering to a point. It usually has 58 facets, just like a round brilliant diamond.
