Among the most-loved pieces in our collection is the oval engagement ring. Elegant and elongating, the oval’s graceful outline offers brilliant sparkle with a flattering, finger-lengthening look—crafted to be worn and admired for a lifetime.

What Makes Oval Engagement Rings So Special?

The oval brilliant blends the sparkle of a round with a softer, elongated shape. Its face-up spread can look larger than a round of the same carat, and the silhouette pairs beautifully with classic, modern, and vintage-inspired settings.

At House of Diamonds, we refine bow-tie visibility, head height, and band balance so your oval sits comfortably, looks proportionate from every angle, and shines in everyday wear.

The Craftsmanship Behind an Oval Solitaire

Clean prongs and thoughtful orientation matter. We often use V-tips or well-shaped claws on the points, align prongs for symmetry, and set the head to maximise light while keeping a low-snag profile. Polished edges and even pressure ensure durability without excess metal.

Explore Our Range

Discover classic oval solitaires, pavé-band ovals, cathedral shoulders, halos, hidden halos, and three-stone designs (oval with rounds or pears). Choose natural or lab-grown diamonds, your metal (18K yellow, white, rose gold or platinum), and band styles from delicate to sturdy.

Why Choose an Oval Diamond?

An oval diamond delivers brilliant sparkle, a larger-looking outline at a given carat, and a graceful, elongating effect on the finger. It stacks beautifully with straight bands, micro-pavé, and soft contour bands.

FAQ: Oval Engagement Rings

What is the “bow-tie” in oval diamonds?

A darker bow-tie-shaped area seen in some ovals. We help you select cuts with balanced light so the bow-tie is minimal and the sparkle stays even.

4-prong, 6-prong, or V-tips—what’s best?

All work when well made. V-tips or shaped claws protect the points; 6-prong adds security and a rounder outline; 4-prong looks more open and minimal.

Do ovals look bigger than rounds?

Often yes. Ovals can have more face-up spread at the same carat weight, giving a larger appearance without added bulk.

Which band styles suit ovals?

Plain or pavé bands, cathedral shoulders, and hidden halos all complement ovals. We’ll match band width and profile to your hand and stone.

Will my wedding band sit flush?

Usually with a well-proportioned head. Some designs pair best with a gentle contour band; we’ll advise during design.

Can an oval ring be resized?

Typically within 1–2 sizes, depending on the band and any pavé. Plain bands are especially resize-friendly.
