Oval Diamond Rings for Your Engagement

When you are shopping for an engagement ring, the possibilities are nearly limitless. Take the oval diamond ring for example. Its elegant shape sets almost any engagement setting apart. The oval shaped stone can be configured horizontally or vertically, and it looks stunning in both. Traditionally an egg-shaped cut, the oval diamond is rarely seen in bridal jewelry, but it is stunning in engagement settings.

Avoid placing an oval diamond in any other setting than one designed specifically for that type of stone. The shape is unique and beautiful, but it requires a specific type of setting to accentuate the stone’s unique qualities correctly. If you are unsure about your setting, consider a round diamond ring or a princess cut diamond ring.

An oval diamond ring is not suitable for all body types. If you or your loved one have a particularly round frame, an oval diamond will exaggerate your features. On the other hand, this shape can highlight the same features in other body types. Few stones match the unique beauty of the oval cut diamond.
