Forget round-cut engagement rings, oval-cut diamonds are making a major comeback.
Oval-cut diamonds are making a major comeback. This regal, rounded shape will elongate your finger (and carat size) so you get more bang for your buck!
There's a reason Kate Middleton—the pinnacle of modern wedding style—wears an oval engagement ring. Not only was it Will's mother's, Princess Diana's ring, but oval-cut stones are about as regal as they come. As soon as you put on an oval diamond ring, the shape immediately elongates your finger, creating an ultra-elegant effect—totally fit for a princess.
But just because you want an oval engagement ring doesn't mean you must go for a full-on classic look. The good thing about this shape is that it works with nearly every setting, metal and style—from a yellow gold vintage-inspired stunner to a modern platinum bezel-set sleek piece. And, just as the Duchess wears, a variety of colors completely pop in an oval-stone setting, be it the royal sapphire, popular yellow diamond or romantic pink diamond and sapphire.
Other celebrities love oval-cut engagement rings too. Famous brides like Blake Lively, Jennifer Aniston and Miranda Kerr are among Hollywood's Mrs. who sport gorgeous oval-shaped sparklers.
Plus, oval-cuts are readily available from a variety of jewelry designers and retailers. Whether it's Tiffany & Co.'s solitaire in a platinum setting, a modern East-West setting by Tacori, Monique Péan, Erica Courtney and Adel Chefridi, or unconventional take via a colored stone or unexpected setting, you won't have a hard time finding the oval-cut ring of your dreams.
And let's face it: If you want to trick the system and get a larger-looking piece of bling for a little bit less money, because oval-cut rings are so long, a smaller carat size will inherently look larger than it is. A win-win for all!
