Oval Shape Diamond Engagement Rings
Oval lab diamond engagement rings are flattering on the hand and create a gentle elongating effect for which elliptical gemstones are treasured, making a woman’s finger seem longer and more slender. Our stunning oval-shaped engagement rings are heirloom jewellery pieces that say 'I love you'.
Despite being popular for centuries, the deeply fascinating oval diamond is a cut that has been perfected actually relatively recently by a jeweller at Lazare Kaplan Inc. in 1957. They are cut in a similar pattern to round brilliant diamonds, with smooth angles which results in a brilliance that is nearly as bright and perfect as a round brilliant gemstone, but with a larger surface area.
If you love sparkle, a lab grown oval diamond is one of the most impressive choices of shape when it comes to brilliance and fire, as it is one of the brightest diamond cuts available. Loved by the likes of Blake Lively, Kourtney Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Haley Bieber to name a few, there’s a reason why the oval cut diamond is so popular for engagement rings amongst the A-List celebrities. The round nature of the shape means that there are no harsh corners (which can be prone to chipping), making it the perfect diamond shape if you want the large carat weight.
This collection of rings are meticulously crafted by hand to the highest standards, offering exquisite quality and sparkle. We offer a choice of both lab grown diamonds that come with a full diamond grading report from the IGI, GIA or GCAL or our signature gemstone, the Ethica Diamond.
At Ethica, we are very happy to take a look at the cut quality of the Oval cut diamond and advise you accordingly; just get in touch and we will be happy to help.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when choosing an oval cut diamond?
1. Look for a diamond with a good cut quality, avoiding a prominent bowtie effect.
2. Choose a colour grade that suits your preferences and budget.
3. Select a diamond with a clarity grade that is eye-clean.
4. Determine the carat weight that fits your budget and preferences.
5. Ensure the diamond is certified by a reputable gemological laboratory.
6. Consider the setting style and metal type that will complement the oval cut diamond.
7. Take into account your own personal style and preferences for the overall design of the ring.
8. Stay within your budget and work with a trusted jeweller to find the perfect oval cut lab diamond engagement ring.
Regardless of the lab diamond shape you choose, the most important aspect of selecting the perfect engagement ring is to find a stone that speaks to you and your partner's personal style and preferences. Consider your budget, the 4Cs (cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight), as well as the shape, setting, and metal type that you feel best represents your relationship. Ultimately, the perfect oval lab diamond engagement ring is one that reflects the love and commitment you have for each other.
What is the best colour to choose for an oval diamond?
Oval diamonds tend to show colour more visibly than round diamonds. Generally, a near colourless grade to the naked eye (G-D) is recommended for a white gold or platinum setting. However, if you prefer a warmer diamond with a slight hint of colour, you can choose a lower colour grade from H - J which can still look beautiful and save you some money.
What is the best length-to-width ratio for an oval diamond?
Oval diamonds can vary in their elongation and shape. The length-to-width ratio determines the appearance of the oval shape, with a ratio of 1.35 to 1.50 being a classic and well-proportioned oval. However, the choice of length-to-width ratio is subjective and depends on personal preference.
What is the best cut to choose for an oval diamond?
Look for an oval lab diamond with a good cut quality. It should have excellent symmetry and proportions to ensure maximum brilliance and sparkle. Avoid diamonds with a prominent bowtie effect, as this can negatively impact the stone's appearance.
What is the best clarity to choose for an oval diamond?
Look for a diamond with a clarity grade that is eye-clean, meaning there are no noticeable inclusions visible to the naked eye. A diamond with a clarity grade of VVS or higher should be sufficient to ensure a stunning appearance.
What carat weight is best to choose for an oval diamond?
An oval lab grown diamond will tend to appear larger than other diamond shapes of the same carat weight due to their elongated shape. Consider your budget and personal preferences when choosing the carat weight of your diamond. Many people find they have the budget to go bigger now that lab diamonds are more accessible in price and many will choose a 2 carat oval diamond or larger which can look stunning with the right setting.
Should I choose rounded claws or talon claws for my oval diamond ring?
1. Rounded Claws: Rounded claws are a popular choice for oval diamond rings as they offer a more traditional and classic look. These claws have smooth, curved edges that gently hold the diamond in place. Rounded claws can create a softer and more feminine appearance for the ring.
2. Talon Claws: Talon claws, also known as pointed or claw prongs, are a bolder and more modern option. These claws have pointed ends that give a more edgy and unique look to the ring. Talon claws can add a touch of drama and intensity to the overall design.
