The oval cut diamond is a beautiful fancy shape, which delights with its undeniable sparkle and elegant style. Here we take a closer look at the exquisite oval diamond, as well as highlighting some of our favourite engagement ring designs, featuring the stunning cut.
The oval cut is a wonderful choice when it comes to diamonds. There’s something special about this shape, and they create an eye-catching look. With their soft romantic curves, they have also proven to be a popular choice for engagement rings. Explore some of our top picks, as well as learning about the story behind the shape, as we focus on oval cut diamonds.
Although oval cut diamonds were first found over 200 years ago, the shape that we know today was not introduced until the 1960s. Lazare Kaplan, a diamond cutter renowned for his ability for turning rough gems into beautiful diamonds, developed the modern-day shape and perfected the process that is still used now.
Our PLATINUM 0.55CT OVAL CUT DIAMOND RING is a truly glamourous choice. The halo of round brilliant diamonds enhances the centre oval cut diamond, drawing your eye to its magnificent sparkle, as well as highlighting the unique shape. For the finishing touches, the platinum band is adorned with dazzling diamonds, beautifully framing a stunning example of an oval cut diamond.
The oval cut is a distinctive shape that was developed from the traditional round brilliant cut. The ‘stretched-out’ shape has the same level of fire and brilliance, boasting a similar number of facets, and was designed to give off the same sparkle. However, one difference is the size if the cut, as the elongated oval shape often appears bigger than a round brilliant stone of the same weight.
A solitaire style engagement ring is a beautiful way to allow the diamond to take centre stage. The PLATINUM 0.75CT OVAL CUT DIAMOND RING displays a stunning oval diamond in a four claw setting. The sparkle and brilliance of the stone is the focal point of the ring, with the diamond-lined shoulders drawing your eye to the wonderful gem, as well as adding a touch of indulgence.
As the oval is a relatively modern cut, it has a more individual and contemporary style than the traditional round brilliant diamond. With this distinct personality, there’s an added touch of character, and although it is incredibly elegant, it also has its own unique flair. The timeless, yet eye-catching style is truly irresistible.
The fantastic thing about the oval cut is that it is amazingly versatile and looks great in a range of styles. Its sleek look beautifully updates the much-loved trilogy style, and our PLATINUM 0.59CT OVAL CUT DIAMOND RING features three stunning ovals placed side by side. Symbolising your past, present and future together, the three diamonds create a romantic, but still distinctive look.
