About the Oval Cut

For over a century, the oval cut stone was refined until the 1960s, when the modern oval cut was perfected by master Russian jeweller, Lazare Kaplan.

Shape: oval from above and below, cone shaped from the side

Facets: 58

Style: modern yet timeless

Cut grading: when correctly cut, oval gemstones can reflect light to make the stone appear larger than it really is. Whether it’s mounted portrait or landscape, oval cut stones make ideal centrepieces for engagement rings.

Elongated vs Bowtie: when oval cut gemstones are more circular than oblong, you often end up with a bowtie effect where light bounces around the centre. With longer, less circular oval cut gemstones, the facets often appear much longer than they really are.

Here at Lily Arkwright, we have a fantastic selection of oval cut loose moissanite gems, moissanite earrings and moissanite engagement rings. Compare the dimensions to see how the size and shape of different oval cut stones create different visual effects.
