Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamonds

Oval cut lab grown diamonds combine brilliant-cut sparkle with an elongated silhouette that creates the illusion of longer, more slender fingers. They typically face up 10% to 15% larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight, offering better size-per-carat value. The oval's brilliant faceting delivers exceptional fire and scintillation while its soft curves give it a classic, flattering appearance.

When selecting an oval lab created diamond, look for a length-to-width ratio between 1.35 and 1.50 for the most balanced proportions. Check for the bowtie effect, a dark shadow that can appear across the center of the stone. A well-cut oval will have a minimal or no visible bowtie. Oval diamonds hide inclusions well, so VS2 clarity is typically eye-clean and offers excellent value.

The oval cut offers several advantages over the round cut in lab grown diamonds. Ovals appear visibly larger per carat, cost 20% to 30% less than rounds of equal quality, and create an elongating effect on the finger. Rounds still edge ahead in raw brilliance due to their optimized symmetry, but a well-cut oval comes very close in sparkle while offering a more distinctive look and better value.
