Oval diamond engagement rings have become a cherished choice for couples seeking to create an utterly romantic memory from their proposal. Reflecting on your journey together, pinpointing the exact moment you knew your partner was "the one" might not be easy. Love has a timeless quality; it’s less about specific moments and more about the enduring bond you share. An oval diamond engagement ring beautifully symbolizes this eternal love. Its graceful, unbroken oval shape represents a love story with no beginning or end, a perfect way to mark the start of your boundless journey together. Let’s learn how to choose the perfect oval diamond engagement ring to celebrate your modern love story in classic charm!
The Beauty of Oval Diamonds
The oval diamond is a contemporary take on the classic round cut. Its elongated shape creates the illusion of a larger stone. For ladies who like looking bold with an edge of elegance, the spirited look of femininity that oval diamonds deliver is no doubt perfect for your stylistic choices.
What’s more, the oval diamond cut reflects light brilliantly with such fire and sparkle that you might even mistake it for a round diamond. The best part is the cut has a silhouette that the round diamond cut does not produce. If you don’t want the brilliance of a round diamond but still wish to have the same sparkle, oval diamonds are your angels sent from heaven.
Standing Out with an Oval Diamond Engagement Ring
It’s no surprise that the oval diamond ring has charmed some of the most stylish individuals in the world. Blake Lively’s 12-carat oval diamond engagement ring is one of the most famous examples. This engagement ring is set in rose gold and has become a trendsetter for couples who want to buy modern diamond engagement rings.
Oval diamonds appear larger than their actual carat weight due to the shape of the cut. So, if you want to customize a personalized diamond engagement ring to fit your budget, plenty of options await. You can opt for different types of oval diamond engagement rings, such as:
01. East West Oval Setting -
This is when oval cut diamonds are set horizontally in an east-west setting. You can choose a setting in platinum, silver, or gold when creating a bespoke diamond ring.
02. Vintage Oval Diamond Ring -
Consider getting a vintage oval engagement ring if your partner likes antique-inspired designs that offer both drama and classical charm.
03. Halo Oval Engagement Ring -
A halo oval engagement ring features a stunning oval diamond surrounded by a circle of smaller diamonds, creating a "halo" effect. If you love glamour, go for this design!
04. Oval Solitaire Engagement Ring -
The oval solitaire engagement ring showcases a single oval diamond in all its glory, unadorned by additional stones. Minimalist fashion lovers who have an eye for pure classical styling love this diamond ring.
There is no end to the choices you can make, whether you decide to shop for an oval diamond engagement ring or customize a bespoke design.
Choosing the Perfect Oval Diamond Engagement Ring
Before you buy an oval diamond engagement ring, one of the key aspects you look at is the diamond ring price. Sometimes it’s easy to get distracted by pricing details and overlook factors based on the design itself.
Don’t forget that the oval cut has a length-to-width ratio that determines its appearance. If this ratio is between 1.35 and 1.50, you get the classic oval shape. If the diamond has uneven curves, its brilliance is reduced.
Since oval diamonds have a large surface area, if inclusions are present, there is a chance for them to show. So, choose oval diamonds that have a higher color grade and clarity.
