Oval Platinum Engagement Rings

An oval diamond in platinum is the combination the trade reaches for when the brief is clean and white: the elongated outline of the oval, the most spread per carat of the classic shapes, held in a metal that is naturally white, never needs plating, and holds a diamond more securely than any gold. Every oval platinum engagement ring here is made to order in our Los Angeles atelier, modeled around the exact length and width of the oval you choose.

Platinum shows diamond color honestly, and ovals show color in their ends, so this pairing asks for a slightly whiter diamond than yellow gold would: G or H keeps the oval reading white against platinum. In return you get the brightest possible version of the shape and a ring that will weigh and look in thirty years what it does today.

Two ways to own one

Build your ring. Choose a setting below, then pair it with a natural or lab diamond from our inventory. A ROSI™ Score Report, our gemological intelligence, reads the cut performance and fair market position of any natural diamond you are considering, and John Anderson, our Lead Gemologist, reviews the shortlist with you.

Choose a Select ring. The Select rings arrive complete, with an IGI certified lab diamond already matched to the setting in the carat weight you choose.

How to choose an oval for platinum

• Color. G or H. Platinum is pure white and shows color honestly, and ovals carry color in the ends. I and below begins to show warm against platinum.
• Ratio. 1.35 to 1.45 for the classic oval. The setting is modeled to whichever you choose.
• Bow tie. Faint and moving is normal; dark and fixed is a cut flaw the certificate does not grade. The ROSI™ report flags it.
• Setting. Four platinum prongs keep the oval open. A hidden halo adds light from the side. A pavé band in platinum is the brightest pavé there is, because the metal between the diamonds is white.
• Weight. Platinum is about 40 percent heavier than 14K gold. Most clients like it; hold one before deciding.
