Oval Diamond Rings
Oval cut engagement rings are increasing in popularity, offering a modern twist on the classic round-brilliant-cut diamond ring. The oval shape, as it is elongated, gives an elegant appearance, making the wearer’s fingers seem longer and more dainty. Additionally, oval diamond rings allow more light to pass through, making your piece sparkle even more.
The Unique Sparkle of the Oval Diamond Ring
The oval cut makes the wearer’s hand appear more elegant, but uniquely, oval engagement rings still appear bigger. For this reason, they’re an impactful yet sleek choice, cut to maximise brilliance. Combined with the right setting, they also allow more light to pass through than a round cut. If superb sparkle is high on your wishlist, oval cut engagement rings or oval wedding rings are the perfect choice for you.
Did you know? Because oval diamond rings look bigger, they appear more valuable, as you’ll get a larger-looking diamond for the same price as a round-cut diamond.
Shopping for Oval Diamond Rings
Nowadays, there is a greater variety of choices when it comes to engagement and wedding rings. The classic gold band with a sparkly round brilliant diamond is still a firm favourite. However, our selection of oval engagement rings and oval wedding rings is now incredibly popular, often requested more than round diamonds. This trend has cemented them as a classic and timeless choice for many, while still featuring a standout design.
The Solstice Classic Halo Diamond Ring gives you all you want in a diamond ring—plenty of sparkle and a piece of jewellery that won’t go unnoticed. On the other hand, the Bisou Diamond Engagement Ring is an even bolder choice that sets itself apart from the classics, featuring a gold wrap-around design, perfect for those who appreciate a contemporary aesthetic.
Remember: As with most of Fyne’s pieces, you can choose between the buttery tones of yellow gold or a platinum appearance with white gold.
FAQs
What do oval-cut diamonds symbolise?
The oval cut shape signifies individuality and creativity, making it a thoughtful choice for someone who values personal expression and seeks something out of the ordinary. While a classic round cut is still a strong choice, modern love demands forward-thinking symbolism, and oval cut engagement rings meet this requirement to perfection.
Are oval diamond rings good value?
Yes. Due to their elongated shape, oval diamond rings appear larger than round-cut diamond rings. This means that for the same carat weight of diamond, you’ll have a diamond ring that looks bigger (appearing more valuable), even though the carat weight of the diamond is the same!
With Fyne’s oval-cut diamond rings, we offer carat weights in all sizes. This is where you will need to consider your budget. However, on a like-for-like basis, a one-carat round cut usually costs more than a one-carat oval cut, with the latter appearing bigger.
Are oval diamond rings suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. However, the setting is an important consideration, with a bezel setting being the most secure. We always recommend caution when wearing any piece of luxury jewellery. Remove it for activities that require a lot of manual handling, steer clear of lotions, creams, and cleaning products, and insure your ring before wear.
