There’s so much to love about oval engagement rings. Oval diamonds have a fire and brilliance that’s second only to round cut stones, offering a more unique silhouette while still creating plenty of sparkle. When set vertically (as they usually are), an oval center stone’s elongated shape creates a flattering lengthening effect on a woman’s finger. Plus, an oval diamond typically has a greater surface area than a round stone of the same carat weight, making it appear larger -- perfect for anyone trying to maximize their budget.

With their breathtaking sparkle and graceful shape, oval center stones are versatile enough to pair with a variety of engagement ring settings. So the next step after settling on an oval cut is to consider the feeling that you want the setting to bring to the ring. Take a look at your bride-to-be’s current jewelry collection and wardrobe to help you understand her personal style. Then you can shop oval engagement rings by personality to discover the ring that suits her unique sensibility! Here are a few of our favorite oval rings and the personalities they complement.
