What Makes an Oval Solitaire Engagement Ring Special?
The oval solitaire engagement rings are a modern addition to fine jewellery. The oval cut was introduced in 1957 by master cutter Lazare Kaplan, who set out to adapt the round brilliant’s light performance into an elongated form. It features 57-58 facets that optimise light return and create a greater visible surface area relative to carat weight. Today, the solitaire oval engagement rings remain valued for their balanced appearance and continue to be chosen by people from all over the world.
Designing Your Perfect Oval Solitaire Ring
Getting an oval solitaire ring designed is all about understanding proportion and precision. The ideal length-to-width ratio of an oval cut falls between 1.30 and 1.50, which determines if the stone appears more rounded or elongated. An oval diamond with ideal cut proportions has a table percentage around 53–63% of its width and a depth between 57.5–62%. At Flawless Fine Jewellery, we help clients choose gold oval solitaire engagement rings for their symmetry, brightness, and proportion. Our designs ensure it complements the wearer’s style for years to come!
