What is the best cut for an oval diamond?

Look for an oval diamond with excellent symmetry, a minimal bow-tie effect and a length-to-width ratio between 1.30 and 1.50. This creates a balanced and flattering shape, making it ideal for oval engagement rings that sparkle beautifully from every angle.

Are oval diamond rings more affordable than round ones?

Yes. Oval diamond rings typically cost less per carat than round brilliant diamonds while often appearing larger. They are a smart choice for those who want excellent value without compromising on style or sparkle.

Are oval engagement rings timeless or trendy?

What's the difference between oval and pear-shaped diamonds?

Oval engagement rings feature soft, symmetrical curves, while pear-shaped diamonds taper to a point at one end. Both shapes are flattering, but oval diamonds offer a more balanced and elongated appearance.
