Will the oval diamond look bigger than other shapes of the same carat?
Yes, oval diamonds usually appear bigger than other diamond shapes of the same carat. This is due to their elongated shape, larger surface area, and greater weight distribution toward the top. Thus, they are an excellent choice for those who want a stone that appears larger and more impressive for the same carat.
Does the oval diamond sparkle like a round brilliant?
Yes, the sparkle and fire of oval diamonds is so intense that it’s almost similar to a round brilliant. Oval diamonds are cut using the same faceting style as round brilliants. Thus, ovals reflect and refract light gorgeously. Of course, there will be minimal difference in the sparkle due to the shape, but a well-cut piece always delivers exceptional brilliance.
What is the “bow-tie effect,” and will it be visible in this diamond?
The “bow-tie effect” is an optical phenomenon where a tuxedo bow tie-shaped dark shadow appears inside the diamond’s center. It’s particularly obvious in elongated diamonds, including pear, oval, and marquise cuts. This is a result of light being scattered or blocked within the diamond, which can reduce its sparkle and brilliance. While it’s a common phenomenon, our stones are meticulously handpicked to minimize this effect and maintain even light performance.
What is the ideal length-to-width ratio for an oval diamond?
The most visually pleasing length-to-width ratio for an oval diamond is between 1.35 and 1.50. This range ensures the right proportions for a soft, elongated appearance. A smaller ratio creates a rounder, chubby look, while a larger one adds a sleek and elongated look.
How do I evaluate the cut of an oval diamond?
Oval diamonds don’t have an assigned cut grade like round brilliant ones from GIA. That’s why you have to do your own research while evaluating the cut of an oval diamond. Look for excellent symmetry, a well-proportioned length-to-width ratio (1.35-1.50), minimal to no bow-tie effect, and even facets with smooth curves and no dark patches, reflecting light in a gorgeous way.
Will an oval cut show color more than a round diamond?
Yes, an oval cut shows more body color than a round diamond because of its shallow cuts and the way it reflects light. It’s especially obvious around the tips. We recommend choosing a G-H or higher color grade to ensure a bright, colorless stone. This especially looks divine with white gold and platinum.
Do oval diamonds hide inclusions well?
Oval diamonds are cut like round ones, which efficiently scatter light and reduce the visibility of imperfections. They hide inclusions relatively better than emerald or Asscher cuts. However, clarity is important, so prioritize VS2 or higher clarity grade or SI1 with strategically placed inclusions for an eye-clean look.
What settings look best with an oval diamond?
Oval diamonds pair well with a variety of settings, from classic solitaires and halos to vintage and east-west designs. Their versatile shape complements both minimalist and ornate styles.
Is an oval diamond a good value for the price?
Yes. Oval diamonds cost less per carat than round diamonds while offering a larger visual impact. This makes them one of the best choices for both beauty and budget.
Are oval diamonds certified by GIA or IGI?
Yes, our oval diamonds are certified by GIA or IGI, depending on your selection. These certifications verify the diamond’s authenticity and quality and are included with your purchase.
Do your oval diamonds come with a warranty or return policy?
Our oval diamonds don’t come with a warranty, but you can opt for our appraisal option in exchange for a nominal charge, which can help with insuring your gemstones. Additionally, we have a 30-day return policy if you’re not satisfied with the product. You’ll get 100% of your money, No Questions Asked.
