HOW DO YOU PICK A GOOD OVAL DIAMOND?

April 29, 2022

The length to width ratio of the cut is an important factor to consider before
selecting a stone. It is advised that you select an oval diamond with a ratio of
1.35-1.50. If you're going to use side stones in your setting, attempt to use a
stone on the higher end of that ratio so it appears thinner. However, if you
intend to set the diamond in a solitaire setting, it is completely acceptable to
stay on the lower end of the ratio so that the oval shape is a little wider.


When selecting an oval cut diamond, you should also consider the clarity and
colour. Some oval-shaped diamonds exhibit hints of colour or microscopic
inclusions more than other shapes, such as round brilliants, so you must
exercise caution when it comes to clarity and colour. To prevent seeing colour
and minor inclusions, look for a diamond with at least a H colour grade and a
clarity grade of VS1 or better.


While oval cut diamonds have been around for a long time, they have recently
gained appeal, owing in part to actress Blake Lively. Ryan Reynolds' engagement
ring contains a 12-carat oval cut pink diamond. They married in 2012, but oval
diamond engagement rings have since become a popular choice for brides.


The oval trend is ideal for any bride who prefers classic designs but wants a
ring with a little more personality. It's a subtle update to the classic round
cut, but it doesn't deviate too far from the norm. It will be fashionable for
many years to come.


The best settings for oval cut diamonds typically contain four or six prongs,
allowing the diamond's shape to be highlighted. Oval shaped diamonds look great
in bezel settings as well. Some oval cut diamond engagement rings, especially
those with three or five stones, have four or six prongs for the centre diamond,
as well as a bezel setting for the side diamonds.


The quality of a diamond's cut is the most significant factor in its overall
beauty and structure, as well as its ability to provide brilliance and fire. The
GIA (Gemological Institute of America) gives cut grading for some shapes, such
as Round Brilliant Cuts, but not for Oval Cut Diamonds.


Almost all Oval Cut Diamonds have a bowtie look due to their elegant, elongated
shape. The bowtie is the dark gap that runs across the centre of a diamond. The
intensity of a bowtie varies between diamonds: sometimes it is plainly evident,
and other times it is barely discernible.


An Oval Cut Diamond with a noticeable bowtie will detract from the stone's
attractiveness. You should avoid selecting an Oval Diamond with a dominating
bowtie. We strongly advise you to have a diamond professional inspect your stone
before making a purchase.


The length to width ratio of a diamond displays how proportionate it is in
relation to its intended shape (i.e. square or rectangular). To compute the
length to width ratio, divide the diamond's length by its width. A diamond with
a length of 5.5mm and a width of 3.5mm, for example, has a length to width ratio
of 1.57.


While it is mostly a matter of personal taste and preference, an Oval Cut
Diamond with a ratio of 1.30-1.50 is usually the most alluring. Examine multiple
Oval Diamond ratios to see which one appeals to you the most. You can also see
them in engagement rings to get a sense of how they will look when set.


Oval cut diamonds are generally less expensive than round brilliant cut diamonds
of the same cut quality, colour, clarity, and carat weight. In fact, in our
guide to diamond shapes and pricing, we compared the oval cut to the round
brilliant cut and discovered that oval cut diamonds are approximately 28% less
expensive per carat on average.


This is due to the oval cut utilising a greater portion of the rough diamond.
Because less of the rough diamond is discarded during the cutting and polishing
process, an oval cut can provide greater value for money (at least in terms of
dollars per carat) than many other diamond shapes.


The price per carat for an oval cut diamond, like all diamonds, rises
exponentially as the diamond's carat weight rises. We've analysed the prices of
oval cut diamonds in four popular diamond sizes: one carat, two carats, three
carats, and four carats. We chose the G colour grade, SI1 clarity grade, and
Excellent cut grade for all of the diamonds compared below to ensure a fair
comparison.
