Oval Diamond Engagement Rings

What is an Oval Engagement Ring?

An oval engagement ring features an oval-cut diamond as its centrepiece. The oval cut is an elongated version of the round brilliant cut, offering a similar sparkle due to its many facets while appearing larger for its carat weight. This shape enhances the finger's length, creating a flattering, elegant look on the hand making it a popular choice for modern engagement rings. Oval engagement rings are highly versatile and suit a wide range of settings, from classic solitaires to halos and diamond bands.

Why are oval diamond engagement rings becoming more popular?

Since the development of the modern oval shape in the 1960’s oval engagement rings have steadily grown in popularity, but in recent years they have seen immense growth. Here’s why they’re so loved:
• The elongated shape makes the diamond appear larger and more prominent.
• Oval diamonds cover more of the finger, creating an elegant look.
• The long, oval shape flatters the wearer, creating the illusion of longer, more graceful fingers.
• They tend to be more affordable than round diamonds of similar quality.
• Celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Molly Mae have oval diamond engagement rings, which has influenced modern tastes.

Oval diamonds are known for their brilliance. With multiple facets, they reflect light beautifully, making your engagement ring vibrant and eye-catching. However, with their elongated shape, they don’t quite have the ideal proportions to match the scintillation of a round diamond, non the less, a well cut oval is very sparkly and equally as captivating.
