Why are oval diamonds so popular?
With its incredible spark and slimming effect on fingers and ability to look larger than its actual carat size, it is no wonder this twist on the traditional round is so popular.

What settings work best with oval cut diamonds?
Oval diamonds easily sit in a variety of settings, but solitaire, halo, and three stone settings are particularly flatter for oval diamonds. These settings highlight the diamond’s shape and maximize its visual impact.
How should I clean and care for my oval cut diamond jewelry?
To care for your oval cut diamond jewelry, make sure to store it in its original packaging or a similar soft cloth pouch. This will help avoid scratching and other damage, which will help preserve its sparkle. Additionally, make sure to keep it clean. Cleaning your oval cut diamond jewelry is similar to cleaning all your diamonds and other fine jewelry.
Take a small bowl and fill it with warm water and mild dishwashing soap. Now, let your jewelry soak for around 15 minutes and gently brush it using a soft bristle toothbrush. Then rinse with clean water, allow to air dry, and you’re done!
Are oval diamonds a good choice for engagement rings?
Yes! Not only do they have a slimming effect on fingers, but they can look bigger than their actual carat size. Combine this with their unique shape and brilliant sparkle, they are a wonderfully romantic choice for engagement rings.
Are oval diamonds durable enough for daily wear?
Definitely! Oval diamonds are quite durable, making them a great choice to wear every day, but make sure to choose a setting that protects the slimmer ends, which are the most vulnerable to chipping.
Do oval diamonds look bigger?
Thanks to their length and larger surface area, oval cut diamonds can look bigger than their actual carat size, giving you more bling for your buck.
