Oval Cut Examples
What is an oval cut diamond?
Oval cut diamonds are a slightly more elongated version of a classic round brilliant cut. They are finished off with rounded ends. Oval cut shape engagement rings tend to look larger than round brilliant rings of a similar size, due to their longer shape. Oval cuts are similar to marquise cut diamonds, but with rounded rather than pointed ends.
What styles do oval engagement rings come in?
Oval engagement rings can be customised in a variety of ways to suit your personal style. Some popular styles include:
- Solitaire oval ring — A single oval-cut diamond on a simple band, showcasing its unique shape and brilliance.
- Halo oval ring — Smaller diamonds encircle the oval centre stone, enhancing its size and sparkle.
- Vintage-inspired oval ring — Incorporating filigree, milgrain detailing and ornate halos for heirloom quality and timeless appeal.
- Two-tone oval ring — Combining different metals highlights the oval diamond and adds a unique contrast to the design.
Are oval cut shape engagement rings a new style?
Oval cut diamonds have been around for years, but they were popularised in the 1960s by the diamond company Lazare Kaplan. Around this time, oval cut shape engagement rings became popular, as they reflected the simple elegance of fashion at the time. Oval cut diamonds are a classic look that never goes out of style and have a vintage appeal.
Are oval cut diamond engagement rings expensive?
Oval cut diamond engagement rings tend to look larger than other cuts of the same carat weight, as the elongated shape gives a larger surface area.
Other fancy cuts such as pear shape diamonds and marquise cuts also offer good value for money. If you’d like prices for bespoke oval cut engagement rings, simply contact the team to discuss your needs.
