Oval cut engagement rings feature an elongated, rounded brilliant-cut stone that delivers the sparkle of a round diamond while looking larger per carat and elegantly lengthening the finger. The oval is one of the most requested shapes for its timeless brilliance and flattering silhouette. Segal handcrafts each oval ring to order in 14K or 18K gold or platinum — in diamond, moissanite, or colored gemstones.
Is an oval cut good for an engagement ring?
Yes. The oval is a brilliant cut, so it sparkles like a round diamond, and its elongated shape makes the stone look bigger and slims the finger. With no sharp corners to chip, it holds up well to everyday wear.
Does an oval look bigger than a round diamond?
Yes — an oval spreads its carat weight across a longer surface, so it typically looks larger than a round diamond of the same carat weight.
How much does an oval engagement ring cost?
Ovals are priced similarly to rounds by carat. At Segal the same design comes in premium moissanite (most affordable), lab-grown diamond, or natural diamond, starting around $1,000 for colored stones.
Best settings for an oval engagement ring
Solitaire, three-stone, pavé, and especially a hidden halo (which adds sparkle and lift) all flatter the oval — as do oval colored stones like ruby, sapphire, and aquamarine.
What is the oval "bow-tie" effect?
Some ovals show a faint dark band across the center called a bow-tie. A well-cut oval minimizes it; every Segal oval is selected for even brilliance.
