Should You Choose an Oval Cut Diamond for Your Engagement Ring? A Complete Guide by Evara Jewelry

Choosing an engagement ring is a big moment — exciting, emotional, and yes, sometimes a little overwhelming. With so many diamond shapes to explore, how do you know what’s right for you?

If you're considering an oval cut diamond, you’re already on a dazzling path. Oval rings have a charm that blends classic elegance with a fresh, modern edge. In this guide, we’ll explore what makes oval engagement rings so special — and why they might be the perfect fit for you.

• The Rise of Oval Engagement Rings

Once rare and considered high-end, oval diamonds have become one of the most loved choices for modern brides. Their elegant shape, elongated sparkle, and soft curves offer a sophisticated twist on the traditional round diamond.

With the growing popularity of lab-grown diamonds, it’s now easier than ever to own a stunning oval ring without the luxury price tag. As we like to say at Evara Jewelry, oval engagement rings are where timeless grace meets contemporary style — perfect for couples who want something beautiful and a little different.

• The Illusion of Size

One of the biggest advantages of an oval diamond is its visual impact.

Because of its elongated shape and shallow cut, an oval diamond looks larger than a round diamond of the same carat weight — making it a smart and stunning choice.

Bonus? This cut also makes fingers appear longer and slimmer — creating a graceful and flattering effect on any hand.

• Quick Oval Diamond Size Guide

1 Carat Oval
~ 7.7 mm x 5.7 mm — About the size of a dime, but appears larger due to its shape.

2 Carat Oval
~ 10.5 mm x 7.5 mm — Visually close to a penny in surface area but with more weight and sparkle.

Want something custom? At Evara Jewelry, we’ll create a one-of-a-kind oval engagement ring that fits your vision perfectly.

• The Hidden Halo Trend

Looking to add an extra touch of magic? A hidden halo could be your perfect match.

This design features a delicate layer of small diamonds tucked beneath the center stone — adding shimmer without overwhelming the main diamond. It’s elegant, subtle, and incredibly romantic.

Ask yourself:

• Do you love intricate designs?

• Want extra sparkle without going over the top?

If yes, this trend is one you’ll adore.

• Finding the Perfect Oval Shape

Not all ovals are created equal. The length-to-width ratio makes a big difference in how the diamond looks on your hand.

• Want a longer, slimmer look? Go for an elongated oval (around 1.45 ratio).
  

• Prefer a softer, rounder shape? Try a shorter oval (around 1.30 ratio) — ideal for smaller or petite hands.

• Choosing the Right Diamond Color

Oval cuts are brilliant at hiding flaws, but they can show more color than round diamonds. That’s why we recommend choosing a G color grade or higher to ensure your diamond appears bright, white, and radiant from every angle.

A touch of warmth can be beautiful, but if you're going for that crisp sparkle — aim for G or better.

• Natural vs. Lab-Grown Oval Diamonds

Wondering whether to choose a natural or lab-grown diamond? Here’s a simple breakdown:

Natural Oval Diamonds

Loved for their rarity and history. A perfect choice if you value tradition and one-of-a-kind character.
💎 Sourced from our diamond factory in Bangkok, Thailand.

Lab-Grown Oval Diamonds

Eco-conscious and budget-friendly. Identical in brilliance and beauty to natural diamonds — but more accessible.
💎 Crafted in our labs in Jaipur and Mumbai, India.

Whatever your choice, you can customize your oval ring at Evara Jewelry to reflect your values, style, and story.
