Why Are Oval Diamonds Special?

If you want a diamond with a unique shape that grabs eyeballs, then the oval diamonds should be a perfect fit. It is a distinct shape that gives the more common round cut a run for its money; you would be exceedingly pleased with this cut that comes with many pluses. What exactly is an oval-cut diamond? Well, the term is suggestive, and you only have to imagine the shape to identify the shape of this particular diamond. Yes! It is a slightly elongated and symmetrical cut that has captured attention and imagination alike. 

The carat weight is optimized well by this shape. In other words, your diamond will look bigger compared to a round diamond of the same carat weight. It is a welcome trait, especially when you prefer a bigger size. Moreover, the shape may make your finger appear considerably slender and slim. 

History of Oval Diamonds

The oval cut has remained fashionable for centuries, although it was never mentioned categorically until 1957. Lazare Kaplan, a diamond cutter of Russian origin, is credited with the invention of the oval cut. An adroit cleaver of diamonds, he invented the oval cut while trying to improve the value of flawed diamonds. His contribution was recognized thereafter, with his name included in the “Jewelers International Hall of Fame.”

The Cs

Apart from the specific cut and carat weight, buyers are often confused about giving credence to the color or the clarity. While the best purchase must be excellent in all the four Cs, an oval diamond is usually purchased based on its color rather than clarity. You may have to spend a fortune on a D-graded color that is a sparkling colorless diamond cut into an oval shape. The Z grade has a pronounced yellow tint and is not quite valuable. 

The Best Settings

While you are welcome to choose a setting that fills you with delight, the oval diamonds are often recommended to be set into an engagement or anniversary ring with: -

Prongs- This is a classic setting for the oval diamond. The setting permits more light to pass through the gemstone, making it improve its brilliance. You may opt for 4 to 6 prongs to hold the diamond firmly. The former makes more of the diamond visible, whereas six prongs keep it secured, thus making you reassured. However, you leave the surface of the diamond open to accidental damage as most of the gemstone is visible. Unfortunately, a diamond highly set with multiple prongs may tear your clothes by getting caught in the delicate fabric. 

 Bezel- You may go for the thin metal frame surrounding the oval diamond. Termed as a bezel setting, you would have no fear of the gemstone coming loose or the setting being caught in your clothes. Sadly, you lose out on the sparkle as most of the diamond remains concealed with the metal. 

Oval diamonds have been in the news, with top celebs like Hailey Baldwin Bieber, and Blake Lively flaunting them as they walked on the red carpet.

People who say they can tell between natural and mined diamonds and prefer mined are so fucking stupid and have probably never looked at diamonds as much as I have 😭 99% of the time you can tell what’s lab because lab diamonds are clearer and bluer with less inclusions. Do you know how expensive it is to get a colorless VVS mined??? let alone 1ct +??? Sorry .

I stay on the engagement rings reddit so I can intermittently give lesbian perspective and also advocate for sapphire stones and lab-grown diamonds
