FAQs
What makes an oval cut engagement ring feel timeless?
Oval cut engagement rings have been loved for decades because they strike the perfect balance between classic and modern. They offer the same sparkle people love about round diamonds but with a slightly longer shape that feels fresh without following a trend. An oval cut also suits a wide range of ring styles, from simple solitaires to halo designs, which means it's a shape that looks just as good today as it will years from now. If you're looking for a ring that won't date, an oval cut is always a safe choice.
What is the best length-to-width ratio for an oval cut engagement ring?
There's no single "best" length-to-width ratio for an oval cut engagement ring, it really comes down to the look you prefer. Most oval diamonds fall between 1.35 and 1.50, with ratios around 1.40 to 1.45 being the most popular. A lower ratio gives the diamond a softer, rounder appearance, while a higher ratio creates a longer, slimmer shape. If you're choosing an oval engagement ring, it's worth comparing a few different proportions to see which shape feels right for you.
What setting looks best with an oval cut engagement ring?
One of the best things about an oval cut engagement ring is how versatile it is. A solitaire setting is a popular choice because it lets the diamond take centre stage, while a halo setting can add extra sparkle and make the centre stone appear larger. Oval diamonds also look beautiful in trilogy settings or paired with a diamond band for added detail. When it comes to choosing the best setting, it really depends on whether you prefer something simple and classic or a design with a little more shine.
