An oval diamond ring is the perfect choice if you want your engagement ring to look stunning. Oval Cut Diamonds are known for their uniqueness and timeless charm. Its elongated design makes it appear larger to the eye than other diamond cuts of the same carat weight.
Now that you’ve settled on the oval cut, you’ll want to be sure to select the perfect setting for it. There are a variety of oval diamond ring settings, so long as you tailor them to the shape and demands of the center stone.
As the name suggests, an oval-cut diamond is a symmetrical, elongated, and rounded shape. With their larger surface area. If you prefer a bigger diamond, an oval cut makes an impressive and economical option. Its slender shape can also make the finger appear longer and slimmer. An oval diamond cut has triangle, star, bezel, and kite-shaped facet patterns on the table anatomy with a 60-degree angle and soft curving edges. Also, the oval cut diamond’s middle girdle facets are swallowed from the left to the right side, but the north-to-south surfaces are narrower. This makes oval-shaped engagement rings an ideal selection for all ring styles.
The oval diamond is egg-shaped because its faceting patterns aren’t matched in other shapes of structures like squares or rectangles. An oval-shaped diamond has 57 facets on the crown, girdle, and pavilion anatomy.
There are three reasons to choose an oval-cut diamond for an engagement ring: the attractive faceting patterns, more length, and being the best alternative to round-cut diamonds. The factors mentioned above play a vital role in oval-cut diamond engagement rings.
Let’s understand them in depth.
An oval diamond has four numbers of shapes facets triangles, bezels, stars, and kites. These shaped facets help the diamond anatomy receive and issue the most precious lightning resonations in a proper way. The brilliance reflection in an oval diamond cut depends on the faceting patterns. That’s all.
The fancy-shaped faceting patterns make the oval-shaped rings preferable for engagements. In all engagement ring settings, the oval diamond shape sustains and preserves the brilliant reflections; that are eye-catching for anyone.
Oval and emerald diamond cuts have the same length because they have been used as an alternative option. The reason for the oval diamond's length is that it has soft banding edges that comply with the girdle and crown anatomy.
The length of the oval-cut diamond is acceptable for solitaire to halo settings in all gold variations.
While talking about an emerald-cut diamond’s length, a parallel facet is responsible for that. Due to the parallel faceting patterns, it needs more space to determine the flow of light reflections.
The fact is that 90°-angled faceting styles are found in the emerald diamond cut. Therefore, the emerald diamond cut has more length.
The oval diamond cut is an alternative to the round diamond cut because they have the same facets in their anatomy. But an oval-shaped diamond has one more benefit than a round cut. The oval diamond has a length that covers the size of the finger in the engagement ring.
For this reason, an oval diamond is used as an alternative to a round diamond. The price for a round cut and an oval diamond shape isn't the same. The oval diamond shape is cheaper than the round-cut diamond.
Moreover, the oval diamond is suitable for all kinds of ring styles.
A halo setting is a popular choice for oval-cut rings.

The solitaire is perhaps the most popular oval diamond ring setting because it so beautifully allows the unique shape and brilliance of the center stone to stand out.

You could vary the color of the band to add a glamorous, chic twist to your look. Rose gold works particularly well with oval-cut diamonds.

Since so few people choose this setting option for an oval diamond, if you select an antique setting, your ring is more likely to be truly unique. It’s the perfect way to blend the timeless elegance of the past with modernity and show the world that you alone define your style.
One of the best settings for oval diamonds ring is the prong. The majority of the stone can be seen due to the traditional mounting type, which lets more light penetrate the diamond and raises its brightness.
Most prong settings feature four or six prongs. Four prongs allow you to see more of the stone, while six prongs make the diamond more secure but can make the diamond appear smaller.
One downside of the prong setting is that it leaves a portion of the diamond surface more susceptible to accidental damage.
A bezel oval diamond ring setting is also a popular choice among women. It encircles the diamond with a thin metal frame that holds the stone in place, which can protect the diamond from accidental damage.
A bezel setting can be full or half; a full bezel surrounds the diamond, while a half bezel leaves it open on the sides. Depending on its structure, the bezel setting can also give the diamond a more subtle look, which can reduce the stone’s brilliance due to less light being able to enter the stone.
