3 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CHOOSING AN OVAL DIAMOND

When it comes to buying an oval diamond, there are several important factors to keep in mind. As a consumer, it's crucial to make an informed decision based on your preferences and budget. Here are three key considerations to take into account before making your purchase:

The Bow-Tie Effect

Why is it important to choose a minimal bow-tie?

 

Ovals are beautiful but can have a subtle shadow in the centre. We select diamonds with the ideal blend of brilliance and minimal bow-tie effect to give you a captivating sparkle.

 A diamond without noticeable shadows shines beautifully from every angle.

 

 

 

Length to Width Ratio

How does this affect the look of your stone?

 

The length-to-width ratio defines an oval’s shape and style. When perfectly balanced, it achieves timeless elegance, while even slight adjustments can transform its personality.

How does this affect your oval?

Choosing a longer ratio creates a more elegant look and can make the diamond appear larger, enhancing its visual impact.

 

Excellent Symmetry

Why does symmetry matter?

Precision is key. An excellent cut with perfectly symmetrical curves allows light to reflect evenly, maximising brilliance and enhancing the diamond's sparkle. 

 

Why does symmetry matter?

An excellently cut diamond with perfect symmetry maximises sparkle, ensuring it captivates from every angle—while light leakage from a diamond with poor symmetry can result in a less sparkly appearance.

 

By considering these key factors – bow-tie effect, length to width ratio, and excellent symmetry – you can make a well-informed decision when purchasing an oval diamond. Remember to prioritise your preferences and budget while selecting the perfect oval diamond that suits your style and personality.
