    FAQs

    An oval cut engagement ring features a stunning oval-shaped diamond. This cut is essentially a modified brilliant cut, combining the exceptional fire and sparkle of a round brilliant with an elongated, elegant shape. This makes the oval cut diamond a brilliant and unique alternative to more traditional cuts.

    The popularity of the oval cut has soared due to its beautiful balance of classic brilliance and modern style. The elongated shape creates the illusion of a larger carat weight, making it appear bigger than a round diamond of the same weight. This unique shape also has a flattering effect on the finger, making it appear longer and more slender.

    No, in fact, the brilliant faceting pattern of an oval diamond is excellent at concealing minor inclusions. This means you can often choose a slightly lower clarity grade without compromising on the diamond's stunning visual appearance. Our expert team can provide transparent, honest advice to help you find a beautiful lab-grown diamond that meets your standards.

    The 'bow-tie effect' is a common characteristic of oval, marquise, and pear-shaped diamonds. It's a dark, bow-tie-shaped shadow that can appear across the centre of the stone. This effect is caused by light blockage and can range from barely noticeable to very prominent. A well-cut oval diamond will have minimal or no bow-tie effect, and our team meticulously checks each stone to ensure exceptional quality.

    The versatility of the oval cut means it can be set in a variety of styles. A classic four or six-prong solitaire setting is a popular choice, allowing the diamond to be the star of the show. We also offer more contemporary designs, such as hidden halo, side stone, or three-stone settings, which can enhance the diamond's brilliance and create a truly personal ring.
