Oval Cut Rings Brisbane

Oval cut diamonds take the same cutting style as a round brilliant cut diamond, but aren’t quite as bright. The benefits of choosing an oval diamond for your custom ring outweigh this, though, as the stone has a longer profile than a round brilliant cut diamond, which elongates the finger and makes the stone appear larger than a round stone of the same size.

The bowtie effect is a dark shadow that appears as a bowtie shape in the centre of oval cut diamonds and is a result of the arrangement of the facets in the cut pattern. Poorly cut diamonds will have a more obvious bowtie. At Diamondport Jewellers, we ensure the oval diamond we select for your ring has excellent cut symmetry and proportions, as this reduces the bowtie’s influence on the brightness of the stone.

At Diamondport Jewellers, we find that the best length-to-width ratio is 1.5:1. This gives a slightly elongated, bright oval that elongates the finger while not looking too thin. If you like the look of a thinner oval for your custom ring, we can source a diamond that’s closer to 1.7:1 in ratio, but this ratio tends to have a more prominent bow-tie effect, which can distract from the overall piece.

Oval cut diamonds look fantastic in most settings in rings. It’s important to consider your lifestyle; if you use your hands a lot or are known to be rough with your jewellery, you may wish to set the stone nicely and in a bezel setting so that the metal is protecting the stone as much as possible. If you prefer a bright, sparkling stone that’s the centre of the show with your custom oval cut diamond ring, a raised solitaire claw setting may be for you. You can also set an oval stone in the centre of a three-stone ring for a more vintage look, or in a halo for ultimate impact.

Many of the oval cut rings at Diamondport Jewellers have raised settings, which allow for a wedding band to sit flush against the ring.

Over the years, many celebrities have been presented with an oval ring. Among those names is Kate Middleton, who now wears Princess Diana’s classic oval sapphire halo ring. More modern ring solitaire designs are seen on the fingers of Ariana Grande and Blake Lively.

Oval cut diamonds provide a slimming effect to the finger, giving the overall piece a graceful look.

Trending oval ring designs include simple solitaires set in rich 18ct yellow gold, whether they be classically set, or set east-west along a flowing band. Hidden halos under the main setting are also popular in oval rings to add an extra bit of bling. Three stone rings are also popular, with the oval as the focal point and smaller ovals or pears accenting the main stone.

The continuous curve of an oval stone in a ring represents eternal love and unity in a relationship. It can also reflect the new beginnings, fertility and commitment in a marriage.

At Diamondport Jewellers, we can fully customise your oval ring. You can choose to make alterations to one of our current designs by changing the metal, stone types, or adding extra features such as a hidden halo or stones down the band. We can also offer engraving. You can also come to us with your own unique design, and we’ll bring it to life for you.
