What to Know About Oval Engagement Rings

If you can’t decide between a classic or contemporary engagement ring, an oval
silhouette gives you the best of both worlds. Its elongated silhouette has boosted its
popularity, giving the illusion of a larger diamond than other cuts as it offers more
coverage and makes your fingers appear naturally slimmer.

Although we think of oval engagement rings as being a distinctly 21 st -century style,
it’s easy to trace their origins through other ring styles including signet rings. An oval
cut is perfect if you want a unique engagement ring without straying too far from
traditional styles.
