Oval Cut Diamonds

The oval diamond is increasing in popularity for engagement rings as a modern alternative to the round diamond. Usually cut with 58 facets, it displays a similar brilliance to the round diamond but in an elongated shape which helps the diamond to appear larger on the hand than other diamond shapes of the same carat weight.

While there is no recognised cut grade for oval diamonds as is it is the purchasers personal preference over whether they prefer a chunkier or longer oval, it is important to consider the depth of the oval diamond and whether a ‘bow tie’ effect is impacting the appearance of your diamond – something our diamond experts would be happy to help you with when selecting your diamond.
