Oval cut quality is not graded on GIA reports. Look for a length-to-width ratio of 1.35:1 to 1.50:1 for the classic oval silhouette, and watch for the 'bowtie effect', a dark area across the center. A well-cut oval has minimal bowtie.
The halo of melee surrounding the center stone adds approximately 0.3 to 0.5 carats of visual size, plus dramatically more sparkle. A halo also protects the center stone and allows a smaller center to look significantly larger.
