Trend Alert: Oval Engagement Rings

Oval Engagement Rings

The latest trend in engagement rings? Oval diamonds. This classic diamond shape has been showing up on more and more celebrity fingers and for good reason. The unexpected oval shape is elegant and elongates the finger. Because of it’s unique length to width ratio you get a diamond that looks larger than it is which is always a good thing, too.

Although Oval is considered a fancy cut, an oval diamond should not cost you any more than a comparable round diamonds with the same specifications. However, you will get a larger appearing diamond at the same carat weight.

Oval diamonds are still not as common as round, so you may have trouble spotting the perfect oval stone at your local jewelers. Check out the selection online at James Allen where you can inspect each stone with their “virtual loupe” before you buy.

I saved for months to
buy my girlfriend this ring with a 1.8 carat diamond. When I proposed
she nearly fainted because she couldn`t believe how beautiful the ring
and stone were. I had reservations about buying something so expensive
online at first, but when I saw the price differences and how much I
could save online, I decided I would just do it. I was very pleased with
the experience and feel great about the ring. Thank You- I will tell my
friends and family about your site and be back soon for wedding rings. Conor R.
