What Is an 18ct Yellow Gold Oval Diamond Engagement Ring?

An oval engagement ring features a central oval-shaped diamond, celebrated for its elongated brilliance and soft, romantic curves. This shape combines the sparkle of a round diamond with an elongated silhouette that flatters the finger. When set in the luxurious tones of 18ct yellow gold, oval diamonds achieve a striking contrast that enhances their natural brilliance. Oval diamonds can be styled as a solitaire for timeless elegance, surrounded by a halo for added glamour, or paired with a diamond-set band for extra radiance.

Why Choose an Oval Diamond with an 18ct Yellow Gold Setting?

Exceptional Brilliance

Oval diamonds, like round diamonds, feature a brilliant-cut facet structure, creating dazzling sparkle and fire.

Elongated Elegance

The oval shape creates the illusion of a larger diamond, while its elongated form flatters the finger.

Versatile Design Options

Oval diamonds complement a wide range of styles and settings, from sleek solitaires to intricate halos and diamond-set designs.

Timeless Yet Modern Appeal

The combination of an oval diamond and yellow gold bridges classic tradition with contemporary sophistication.

Are 18ct Yellow Gold Oval Diamond Engagement Rings Expensive?

Oval diamonds are often more affordable than round diamonds of similar carat weight because they retain more of the rough diamond during the cutting process. However, their high demand for engagement rings can influence the price. Paired with 18ct yellow gold, these rings offer luxurious style and enduring quality, making them a cherished investment.

Why Are Oval Diamond Engagement Rings So Popular?

Oval diamonds have gained popularity for their unique balance of classic brilliance and modern shape. Their elongated silhouette maximises sparkle and creates an elegant, flattering appearance on the hand. This makes them an excellent choice for those seeking a distinctive yet timeless engagement ring style.

Best Ring Styles for Oval Diamonds in 18ct Yellow Gold

Solitaire: A minimalist setting that highlights the oval diamond’s beauty while allowing the yellow gold band to add warmth and sophistication.

Halo: A frame of smaller diamonds enhances the size and brilliance of the central oval diamond, creating a glamorous and vintage-inspired look.

Diamond-Set Band: Diamonds along the shoulders of the band elevate the overall sparkle while complementing the graceful proportions of the oval cut.

Do Oval Diamonds Appear Larger Than Other Shapes?

Oval diamonds often appear larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight due to their elongated shape and larger surface area. This visual advantage, combined with their radiant brilliance, makes them a popular choice for those seeking a striking centrepiece.

Why Pair Oval Diamonds with 18ct Yellow Gold?

The warm tones of 18ct yellow gold beautifully complement the soft curves of an oval diamond, creating a harmonious blend of colour and brilliance. The rich glow of yellow gold enhances the diamond’s sparkle, offering a timeless yet contemporary aesthetic that’s perfect for any love story.
