Oval Cut Diamond: Timeless Elegance with Elongating Effect | RR Jewellery

The Oval Diamond – Elegance in Elongated Shapes

The oval cut diamond is a beautiful mix of classic brilliance and intricate shape. This cut originated in the 1960s and is inevitably loved for its soft lines, symmetry and continued effect on the hand .

With its rounded apparent and brilliant facets, the oval diamond radiates as much sparkle as a round brilliant, but with a unique, contemporary silhouette that is stylish and flattering.

Why choose an oval diamond?

  • Optically elongated: the elongated shape makes fingers slimmer and more graceful.

  • Brilliant brilliance: as sparkling as a round diamond thanks to the 56 to 58 facets.

  • Timeless and versatile: a staple in both modern and classic designs.

Note: A well-cut oval should be symmetrical and the usual “bow tie” (a shadow shape in the center) should be minimal and elegant.

The most beautiful settings for oval diamonds

The oval cut diamond lends itself perfectly to various settings. Here are popular options where this shape comes into its own:

💍 Solitaire setting – pure and original

An oval solitaire design indirectly compliments the soft contours of the stone and visually elongates the hand. A classic choice with a feminine flair.

✨ Halo setting – framed with extra sprinkling

A row of small diamonds around the oval enhances the sparkle and makes the central stone appear larger. Glamorous without being over the top.

🔲 Bezel setting – modern and sleek

The smooth setting with a metal edge gives a contemporary touch to the oval diamond. Ideal for those who love simplicity with a powerful shape.

🌿 Side stones – playful or classic

Oval diamonds combine beautifully with side stones such as pear, trillant of baguette. This endless playful or royal look, depending on the version.

What does the oval cut symbolize?

The oval cut diamond symbolizes unity, harmony and eternal love . Thanks to its closed line and selected proportions, it exudes rust, continuity and balance – a powerful choice for a meaningful piece of jewelry.

In summary – Rounding with character

The oval diamond is ideal for those who love sophistication with a modern twist. It radiates at the same time as a brilliant, but with a softer, elongated silhouette that is flattering and unique.
