What makes a beautiful oval

The bow tie

Every oval shows a darker band across its middle, called a bow tie, where light escapes. In a well cut stone it is faint and shifts as the stone moves; a strong, fixed shadow is the most common flaw in the shape. The 360 degree video is the best way to judge it: watch the middle of the stone as it rotates.

Ratio

The length to width ratio sets the outline. Around 1.35 looks balanced and classic; around 1.50 looks long and slender. Neither is better, but most buyers prefer something between the two.

Color

Ovals can show a little more color at their tips than rounds. F or G color keeps the stone looking white in platinum and white gold; in yellow or rose gold, H can look lovely.

Clarity

Brilliant faceting hides small inclusions well, so VS2 or even SI1 can be eye clean. Check the video for anything visible near the center.

Pairing a setting with an oval

A solitaire shows off the outline and is timeless. A hidden halo adds sparkle in profile while keeping the top view clean. A halo makes the stone look larger still. East west settings turn the oval sideways for a modern look. Three stone designs with tapered baguettes or small pears frame it beautifully.

Where Rare Carat shines

Every oval lab diamond ring is filmed in 360 degree video so you can judge the center and the ratio before you buy, and returns are accepted within 30 days.

Oval Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Rings: frequently asked questions

Why are oval diamonds so popular?

An oval faces up larger than a round of the same weight, slims the finger and keeps much of the round's brilliance. It suits almost every setting style.

What is a bow tie in an oval diamond?

A dark, bow tie shaped shadow across the middle of the stone, caused by how light leaks through the center facets. Every oval has some; a good one has a faint bow tie that is barely visible as the stone moves.

What length to width ratio is best?

Between 1.30 and 1.50 is the classic range. Lower ratios look rounder; higher ratios look longer and slimmer. Personal taste decides within that range.

How much does an oval lab grown diamond engagement ring cost?

The typical complete ring here costs about $1,505, with most between $1,340 and $1,755. Carat weight and setting drive the price.

Which setting suits an oval best?

A solitaire shows off the outline; a hidden halo adds side sparkle; a halo makes it look even larger; and three stone designs with pear or tapered side stones create a classic look.
