Oval Cut Engagement Rings FAQs
What are oval cut engagement rings?
Oval cut engagement rings feature the same pattern of facets found in brilliant diamonds but with a longer, rounded shape. Oval cut engagement rings often have a high degree of symmetry and are an excellent choice for a sparkly stone, with similar fire to round brilliant diamonds.
Oval engagement rings are available in both tall and squat cuts, depending on the length to width ratio. Taller cuts feature a higher ratio which results in a more elongated stone that may take up more space on the finger, while squat cuts have a smaller ratio and showcase a diamond closer to a circular shape.
Are oval engagement rings popular?
Oval cut engagement rings have been popular throughout history, but it wasn’t until the 1960s that we saw the birth of the modern oval cut diamond invented by Lazare Kaplan. His revolution transformed the standard oval diamond into a highly upscale cut featuring dozens of glittering facets and unrivaled brilliance. Today, oval cut engagement rings remain one of the most sought after choices for a luxurious symbol of love.
How much are oval engagement rings?
Oval engagement ring prices vary based on factors like the 4 C’s (color, clarity, cut, and carat weight), as well as the precious metal chosen for the setting and the intricacy of the ring design or setting.
In general, the larger the carat and the more colorless the diamond, the more expensive the ring will be. When it comes to metals, platinum settings can drive the cost up, while white and yellow gold oval engagement rings are more affordable choices.
Keep in mind that additional elements like oval halo engagement rings or pavé settings, which include additional stones, will be pricier than a ring with only a single center stone. To bring the cost of an oval engagement ring down, choose a lab grown diamond or moissanite, both of which are significantly less expensive than a natural diamond, without sacrificing brilliance or durability.
What wedding band goes with oval engagement rings?
Wedding bands with a slight contour or curve fit flawlessly with oval engagement rings as the band creates a cradle for the center stone. To dress up a contoured wedding ring, you can always choose an eternity band style for some extra sparkle.
Alternatively, opt for a dainty wedding band that matches the width and precious metal of your engagement ring for an elegant pairing. Though it’s worth knowing you may have a small gap between your wedding band and engagement ring if the former doesn’t have a small curve.
What carat is best for oval cut engagement rings?
Oval cut engagement rings look best with a one to five carat center stone. One of the biggest benefits of choosing this type of diamond cut is a one carat oval diamond will often look larger than a one carat circular diamond due to the elongated shape. It may be more affordable, too.
What metal should I choose for oval cut engagement rings?
For oval cut engagement rings, platinum or white gold are the best choices because of how they complement the stone. They increase the light reflection for a more radiant appearance, while on the other hand, yellow or rose gold are apt choices for making an oval cut diamond look lighter if it has a yellowish tint. There are no hard rules when it comes to choosing a metal for an engagement ring, so be sure to pick what compliments the wearer’s style best.
