Oval Cut Lab Created Diamonds

An oval diamond’s elongated shape is flattering on the finger and looks modern and elegant. It’s become a more popular cut in recent years. Oval lab diamonds are alluring–they have the brilliance of a round cut, but it’s an eye-catching cut that goes well in a lot of engagement ring designs.

Lab made oval diamonds are appealing because they appear larger than they are because of the shape. A one carat oval lab diamond will appear larger than a one carat round diamond. The elongated shape makes the finger look longer and slimmer. The shape doesn’t have pointy corners, which makes it more durable.

Technology has allowed us to recreate beautiful diamonds in a controlled environment. Lab made diamonds have some ethical and environmental benefits as well. You can pinpoint where lab diamonds are made, so they’re not involved in the blood diamond industry. They’re manufactured in a lab rather than mined from the earth, which means the ecosystems aren’t altered and resources aren’t used to mine for diamonds.

Another plus for lab created oval diamonds is they’re more affordable than mined diamonds. In general, lab diamonds cost about 50% to 60% less than mined diamonds. This allows couples to get a larger diamond than they budgeted for and allows you to stretch your budget more.

Yet another lab diamond benefit is the number of options in terms of oval center stones and settings. You can search for loose, lab made oval diamonds based on how much you’d like to spend and the quality (4 Cs of carat, color, cut, and clarity). For ovals, cut and color are important because of their shape. If oval diamonds are cut poorly, they’ll have a bow-tie effect–a dark area in the center of the stone in the shape of a bow-tie. The larger the diamond the more the color becomes noticeable. Clarity also should be considered because of the shape of the diamond you don’t want to see visible inclusions.

You have plenty of settings that work well for oval shaped diamonds. A newer trend is setting it east-west rather than north-south. It’s a unique take on an oval lab diamond engagement ring. You have so many setting options for oval diamonds as well. They’re a versatile, flattering shape that works well in settings that are simple or more ordained. Ovals look amazing with halos because the extra ring of diamonds pair well with the elongated, oval shape of the center stone. If you want a band that’s more extravagant, look for settings with pavé or set diamonds along the band. You can also consider three stone rings either with additional oval stones or mixing it up with different stones, like pear, round, or baguettes. Ovals pair well with a lot of designs!
