Do oval diamonds look larger than round diamonds?

They often show more face-up area at a similar carat weight, although actual measurements and proportions vary.

What is a bow-tie effect?

It is a darker band that can appear across the centre of elongated brilliant cuts. Some contrast is normal; compare how noticeable it is in motion and different lighting.

Which setting protects an oval diamond best?

Secure prong placement and a well-engineered basket matter more than one universal setting style. The design should match the stone's dimensions.

Oval Engagement Rings in Vancouver

Oval engagement rings combine brilliant-cut sparkle with an elongated diamond shape that creates an elegant, balanced appearance on the hand. Their larger face-up spread can also give an oval diamond strong visual presence compared with some other shapes of similar carat weight.

At Luxury Diamonds, our oval engagement rings are available with natural and lab-grown diamonds in solitaire, hidden halo, pavé and other settings. Visit our Vancouver showroom to compare oval diamonds in person or explore our full selection of engagement rings in Vancouver.

What to Look for in an Oval Diamond

Not all oval diamonds have the same proportions or visual character. When comparing stones, consider the length-to-width ratio, symmetry, face-up dimensions and the visibility of the bow-tie effect through the centre of the diamond.

Symmetry of the shoulders and ends
Bow-tie visibility in different lighting
Face-up dimensions for the carat weight
Prong placement and protection at the ends

A grading report provides important measurements and quality characteristics, but videos or an in-person comparison can be especially useful for oval diamonds because the appearance of the bow-tie effect is not represented by a single grade.

Oval Engagement Ring Settings

Oval diamonds work well with a variety of engagement ring settings. A solitaire setting keeps the elongated outline of the centre diamond as the main focus, while hidden halo and pavé settings can add extra diamond detail and brilliance.

Custom Oval Engagement Rings

If you have specific proportions, a particular setting or centre diamond characteristics in mind, we can create an oval ring around your preferences. Our specialists can help you compare oval diamonds and select the metal, setting height and design details that work best with your chosen stone.
