Oval engagement rings are elegant, especially in platinum

3 things to think about when choosing an oval platinum engagement ring!

Avoid the Bowtie: Oval cut diamonds are stunning! However, due to their long length, there are special cutting nuances you need to look for in order to achieve maximum beauty and sparkle. One of the biggest things to ensure your oval platinum engagement ring is the most brilliant is focusing on the bowtie area. You want to have an evenly balanced bowtie – not too dark, and not too light! Read more about finding the best bowtie here!

Platinum patina: Platinum is a pure white metal, which means it does not require rhodium plating! This is one of the reasons we love this beautiful, durable metal. One of the purest and densest metals on Earth, platinum develops a vintage patina as it wears. This patina is a collection of wear that showcases the lifetime of your ring. So, choosing platinum for your oval engagement ring is a beautiful way to honor the longevity of your relationship!

Focus on color: Because platinum is a pure white metal, it is important that your oval diamond does not show significant body color. In most stones, body color shows up as a slight yellow or brown tint. This can clash with platinum’s white-grey beauty. In ovals, this typically means that you should stick with a D-G color range in stones 1ct+ carat. For stones under 1ct, H will also face up white!
