Find your dream oval engagement ring
The most popular styles of oval engagement rings include oval solitaire rings and oval diamond band rings. Both are incredibly refined and modern, although the diamond band setting will offer added sparkle for those seeking further brilliance. For a further, subtle sparkle, consider adding the custom touch of a diamond set bridge or hidden halo to your oval engagement ring.
An oval halo engagement ring nods to vintage design and is a surefire way to enhance the size of your ring thanks to the addition of melee diamonds around the centre gem. A scallop set halo will appear a little more contemporary, while a pavé halo will give the ring an Art Deco edge.
What does an oval engagement ring symbolise?
The oval engagement ring is a staple of modern design and represents a modern taste that honours tradition, thanks to its structural similarity to the iconic round diamond ring.
