{"title":"Oval Engagement Rings","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn oval diamond is a brilliant cut stretched into an elegant ellipse. Because more of the stone's surface faces up, an oval looks larger than a round diamond of the same carat weight, and its length draws the eye along the finger for a slimmer, more graceful look on the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing an oval diamond\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost buyers prefer a length-to-width ratio between about 1.35 and 1.50: shorter ovals look fuller, longer ones more dramatic. Look closely for the \"bow-tie\", a darker band across the middle that every oval has to some degree. A well-cut stone keeps it faint, so it's worth seeing the actual diamond, or a video of it, before you commit. Every centre stone comes with a GIA or IGI certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSettings that suit an oval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA four-claw solitaire like our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/marina-solitaire-engagement-ring\"\u003eMarina\u003c\/a\u003e keeps the outline clean and lets the most light into the stone.

A well-cut 1.00ct oval looks closer to a 1.20ct round on the finger, partly because of the elongated outline and partly because oval cuts have a larger top-surface (\"table\") than rounds. The Marina pairs that optical advantage with a slim four- or six-claw setting that frames the stone without competing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat we look for in an oval\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut matters more on ovals than on any other shape.
