Oval diamonds are one of the fastest-growing shapes for engagement rings, featuring elongated brilliant facet pattern that lengthens the finger. 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.
Past, present, and future — a three-stone ring is traditionally gifted to represent the journey of a relationship. It's a meaningful choice for engagements, anniversaries, and milestone gifts.
Tapered baguettes for Art Deco geometry, half-moons for soft harmony, trillions for bold contrast, or matching oval side stones for symmetry. We can source any configuration to match your vision.
