About Oval Engagement Rings
Oval engagement rings feature an elongated diamond shape that offers a balanced blend of elegance and brilliance. The oval cut was introduced in the mid-20th century as a modern alternative to round diamonds, and the moval engagement ring—a softer blend of marquise and oval—adds a distinctive twist to this classic look. This shape symbolizes continuity and enduring love, while its soft curves create a graceful appearance on the hand.
Oval engagement rings have been chosen by celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Blake Lively, contributing to their lasting popularity. This shape is especially loved for its flattering look and its ability to appear larger than its carat weight.

From opulent, statement-making styles to refined, minimalist designs, you’ll find an engagement ring that speaks to your perfect “I do” moment.
Popular Oval Cut Engagement Ring Settings
An oval cut engagement ring feels both classic and modern with its graceful shape and eye-catching sparkle. The right setting brings out their beauty even more. Here are the most popular settings:
- Solitaire: a solitaire oval engagement ring keeps the focus on the center stone, letting its elegant shape and brilliance take center stage. With a sleek, minimal design, it’s perfect for those who appreciate classic and understated beauty with a modern feel.
- Halo: an oval cut halo engagement ring features a circle of smaller diamonds surrounding the oval center stone, adding brilliance and making the diamond appear larger. Perfect for those who love a little extra shimmer.
- Hidden halo: a hidden halo oval engagement ring features a delicate row of diamonds that sits just beneath the center stone, catching the light with every movement. Subtle from the top and dazzling from the side, it’s like a little secret sparkle just for you.
- Bypass: In an oval bypass engagement ring, the band sweeps around the oval stone in a graceful, twisting motion, creating a modern, fluid look. It’s an excellent choice for those who love movement and originality in their design.
- Three-stone: in a three-stone oval engagement ring, two side stones flank the oval center, symbolizing the past, present, and future. Whichever cut you choose for the side stones, this setting adds depth and meaning to your ring.
Pairing Oval Cut Engagement Rings with Wedding Bands

- Mixed metals or textures introduce contrast, perfect if you want your set to feel layered and distinctive.
