Why are Oval cut Diamonds so popular?

4th August 2023 By Coby Shalev

Oval cut diamonds have gained popularity for several reasons:

  1. Unique and Elegant Appearance: Oval cut diamonds offer a distinctive and elegant look. They combine the brilliance and sparkle of round brilliant cut diamonds with the elongated shape, creating a visually appealing and eye-catching diamond. The elongated outline can also make the diamond appear larger than its carat weight, offering excellent value for money.

  2. Slimming Effect: The elongated shape of oval cut diamonds can create an optical illusion of elongating the wearer’s finger when set in a ring. This slimming effect is particularly attractive and flattering, making oval diamonds a popular choice for engagement rings.


  3. Versatility: Oval cut diamonds are highly versatile and can be used in a variety of jewellery designs. They work well as center stones in engagement rings, solitaire pendants, and earrings. The elongated shape also lends itself well to different setting styles, such as halo settings or side stone accents, allowing for creative and unique jewellery designs.

  4. Optimal Sparkle: Oval cut diamonds are known for their brilliance and fire. When cut with proper proportions and symmetry, they can exhibit exceptional sparkle. The brilliant faceting pattern and larger surface area of oval cut diamonds allow for excellent light reflection and dispersion, resulting in a dazzling display of brilliance.

  5. Vintage Appeal: Oval cut diamonds have a timeless quality that appeals to those who appreciate vintage-inspired or antique-style jewellery. The shape has been used in jewellery designs for centuries, and oval diamonds can evoke a sense of vintage charm and romanticism.

It’s important to note that the popularity of diamond cuts can change over time as trends evolve. However, at present, oval cut diamonds have been well-regarded and favored by many due to their unique appearance, versatility, and overall visual appeal.
