Elegant Oval Cut Diamond Rings

For a unique look that captures the brilliance of a round brilliant, check out the oval cut diamond rings from Mark Broumand. Though the oval diamond has been around for over 200 years, Lazare Kaplan standardized the modern cut in the 1960s. This modified brilliant hails from generations and many family ties in the diamond world. This family dedication to the beauty of the diamond can be seen in the oval cut. Ovals balance beauty and budget.

Your oval will typically have 58 facets, inclusive of the table (large flat top facet) and culet (lowest pavilion facet). An ideal length-to-width ratio of the finished stone will be between 1.33:1 and 1.66:1. All oval stones will have some degree of the bowtie effect, which is a bowtie-shaped shadow within the center of the stone. A small amount is characteristic of modified brilliant shapes and will often be intensified in stones with a greater length-to-width ratio or which are excessively deep or shallow. Visual inspection of the stone is the best way to determine the degree of this characteristic in your diamond.

 Though you can find an oval in a solitaire setting, this shape's beauty is intensified when set in a halo, three-stone or accent stone setting. Ovals also have a greater surface area than other profiles with the same carat weight. This will make an oval cut appear larger than other stones of the same carat weight. This diamond is an excellent choice for the couple on a budget, desiring the look of a larger stone. The elongated shape will also offer a slimming or lengthening effect to the ring finger. Unlike the slim and elegant marquise cut diamond ring, this cut creates no sharp corners. The durability of this stone is perfect for active, everyday wear.

Mark Broumand’s collection of oval cut diamond rings represents a wide array of sizes, styles and settings to match every taste and budget. This incredibly versatile ring can reflect the romance of the vintage era or upscale contemporary chic. The oval cut diamond is a preferred choice as an engagement ring, anniversary ring or custom designed ring as a gift. Each oval cut jewelry creation at Mark Broumand was selected for its high quality and elegance.
