Oval Lab Diamond Engagement Rings

Oval Engagement Ring Styles

Whether you prefer a timeless oval solitaire or a more decorative setting, the oval engagement ring is one of the most versatile shapes available. The elongated silhouette of an oval diamond flatters the hand and creates the illusion of a larger stone, making it a popular choice for those who want maximum visual impact.

Our oval collection includes solitaire, halo and vintage inspired settings. Each engagement ring can be personalised with your choice of metal and stone size to suit your taste.

Popular Oval Diamond Engagement Ring Settings

An oval diamond engagement ring looks stunning in almost any setting. The solitaire places the oval diamond front and centre with minimal distraction, while a halo of smaller diamonds adds brilliance and makes the centre stone appear even larger. Shoulder set designs feature accent stones along the band for added sparkle.
For something more distinctive, consider a trilogy or vintage inspired design. Trilogy settings pair the oval centre stone with two complementary side stones, while vintage styles draw on Art Deco and Edwardian influences for a romantic feel.

Choosing the Right Oval Cut Diamond Size

The oval cut tends to appear larger than a round brilliant of the same carat weight, thanks to its elongated shape and broader surface area. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want presence on the finger without stretching the budget.

Our oval engagement rings are available in a range of carat sizes. If you are unsure which size will suit your hand shape best, our showroom team are happy to help you try different options in person.

Platinum Oval Engagement Rings

A platinum oval engagement ring is the most durable option in our collection. Platinum is a naturally white metal that will not fade or change colour over time, making it the ideal choice for everyday wear. Its density provides a reassuring weight on the finger and holds the prongs securely around your diamond.

Platinum is also hypoallergenic, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Gold Oval Engagement Rings

Our gold oval engagement rings are available in 18k yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. Yellow gold brings warmth and a classic look to the oval shape, while white gold offers a similar appearance to platinum at a more accessible price point. Rose gold has become increasingly popular for its romantic blush tone.

Each metal brings a different character to the ring, so choosing the right gold colour is a matter of personal style.

Why Choose a Lab Grown Oval Diamond?

Lab grown oval diamonds are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds. They are created in controlled conditions using advanced technology, resulting in stones with the same brilliance, fire and hardness you would expect from a natural diamond.

Choosing a lab grown diamond means you can typically afford a larger or higher quality stone for the same budget. It is also the more sustainable and ethical choice, with significantly less environmental impact than traditional mining.

What Does an Oval Engagement Ring Symbolise?

The oval engagement ring has long been associated with creativity, individuality and everlasting love. The continuous curve of the oval shape has no beginning or end, representing an unbroken bond between two people. Its graceful proportions are also said to symbolise elegance and refinement.

Popularised by celebrities and royalty alike, the oval cut has seen a significant rise in demand in recent years. It offers a modern twist on the classic round brilliant while maintaining the same level of sparkle and fire.

FAQs

Is a 1.5 carat oval engagement ring too big?

A 1.5 carat oval is considered a popular size and sits comfortably on most hand shapes. Because the oval cut has a larger face-up area than a round brilliant of the same weight, it will look generous without being overwhelming. If you are unsure, we recommend booking a showroom appointment to see different sizes in person.

What is the best setting for an oval diamond?

The best setting depends on your personal style. A solitaire setting showcases the oval diamond with minimal distraction, while a halo adds extra sparkle and makes the centre stone appear larger. Shoulder set and trilogy designs offer a balance between simplicity and detail.
