Gently scrub the stone and setting, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or chlorine, and remove the ring before activities that expose it to abrasive materials or hard impacts.

The elongated shape also creates a slimming effect on the finger, which many wearers find flattering. As a brilliant-cut style, the oval still delivers excellent sparkle and light performance.
