Why Choose an Oval Diamond? 

• Brilliance Close to Round Diamonds–With 56-58 facets, ovals offer nearly the same fire and scintillation as round brilliants.  

• Elongated Silhouette–Makes fingers appear longer and more slender.  

• Versatile Style–Works beautifully in solitaire, halo, three-stone, or vintage-inspired settings.  

• Better Value–Typically 20-30% less expensive than round diamonds of the same carat weight.  

Carat Weight & Face-Up Size

- Oval diamonds appear larger than rounds of the same carat weight.  

- A well-cut 1.50ct oval can look as big as a 2.00ct round!  

Color (GIA D-Z Scale)

- D-F (Colorless): Best for platinum/white gold settings.  

- G-H (Near-Colorless): Great value, appears white in yellow/rose gold.  

- I-J: Slight warmth, budget-friendly for larger stones.  

Clarity (GIA FL-I3 Scale)

- VS1-VS2: Eye-clean, recommended for most buyers.  

- SI1-SI2: Often eye-clean in ovals (check certification images).  

Certification  

Always insist on GIA, AGS, or IGI reports to verify quality.
