Diamonds can be cut in many different shapes, oval being one of them. Oval-cut diamonds are nothing but elongated round diamonds.

Oval cut diamonds offer many advantages in comparison to their round counterparts:

• When cut well, oval diamonds can look larger than rounds for the same carat weight;
• Engagement rings with an oval diamond look especially great on shorter fingers since they optically elongate them;
• Oval cut diamonds offer the same brilliance as rounds but a more unique shape;
• Oval diamonds can be up to 30% cheaper than round diamonds!
