What Makes Vintage Oval Engagement Rings So Gracefully Timeless?
There’s something special about the vintage oval engagement rings, which is why these never go out of style. The oval cut diamond has existed for hundreds of years, but was first referenced in the early 1800s in literature. Oval diamonds are essentially a round diamond that’s been stretched and elongated. The shape also creates an elegant silhouette that many couples love. Oval vintage engagement rings can make fingers appear longer and slimmer, giving them a sophisticated look.
Why Choose an Oval Cut for a Vintage-Inspired Design?
Oval cut vintage engagement rings naturally create the impression of longer fingers. This makes it a great choice for those with shorter or fuller fingers. The slimmer and more elongated the oval, the stronger the lengthening effect. Oval cuts are also very adaptable and complements a wide range of metals, settings, and ring styles. At Flawless, our collection of Oval vintage rings highlights detailed metalwork, elegant designs, and high craftsmanship.
