Oval cut diamonds have become one of the most sought-after shapes for modern engagement rings. Their elongated silhouette creates the illusion of a larger stone while flattering the finger with a slenderizing effect that brides love.
Our oval cut lab grown diamond collection features stones with optimal length-to-width ratios between 1.35 and 1.50, ensuring beautiful proportions without the bow-tie effect that can diminish a diamond's brilliance. Each oval diamond is hand-selected for exceptional light performance and certified by IGI or GIA.
From classic solitaires to glamorous halo settings, our oval engagement rings are crafted in 14K gold, 18K gold, and platinum. The oval shape pairs beautifully with both delicate bands and diamond-accented designs, giving you endless styling options for your perfect ring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do oval diamonds look bigger than round diamonds of the same carat weight?
Yes! Oval diamonds typically appear 10-15% larger than round diamonds of equal carat weight because their elongated shape has a larger surface area. This makes them an excellent choice for maximizing visual impact.
What is the bow-tie effect in oval diamonds?
The bow-tie is a dark shadow that can appear across the center of an oval diamond due to light reflection patterns. We carefully select our oval diamonds to minimize this effect, ensuring maximum brilliance across the entire stone.
What setting styles work best with oval diamonds?
Oval diamonds look stunning in solitaire, halo, and three-stone settings. East-west settings (where the oval is set horizontally) offer a unique modern look. The shape also pairs beautifully with thin pave bands.
