Oval Solitaire Engagement Rings
A solitaire engagement ring keeps the focus on the oval centre diamond, highlighting its elongated proportions and brilliant faceting.
Oval Hidden Halo Engagement Rings
Hidden halo engagement rings add subtle sparkle beneath the oval centre stone while preserving a clean face-up appearance.
Oval Pavé Engagement Rings
Pavé engagement rings pair an oval centre diamond with small diamonds along the band for added brilliance and a more detailed look.
Oval Cathedral Engagement Rings
Cathedral engagement rings use raised shoulders to frame the oval centre stone and create a graceful transition from band to diamond.
Why Choose an Oval Diamond?
Oval diamonds are popular for their combination of brilliance and elongated proportions. Their shape can create a longer appearance across the finger while still offering the sparkle associated with brilliant-style faceting.
The oval shape is also highly versatile and works beautifully with classic solitaires, hidden halos, pavé settings, cathedral designs, trilogy rings and bezels.
Oval Engagement Rings by Metal
- Yellow Gold Oval Engagement Rings
- White Gold Oval Engagement Rings
- Rose Gold Oval Engagement Rings
- Platinum Oval Engagement Rings
Yellow gold gives an oval diamond a warm and classic contrast, while white gold and platinum create a bright, refined appearance. Rose gold provides a softer and more distinctive finish.
Depending on the design, Nura Lab rings may be available in 9K, 14K or 18K gold as well as platinum.
Oval Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Rings
Lab grown oval diamonds have the same crystal structure and fundamental physical properties as mined diamonds, with the primary difference being their origin.
They are available in a wide range of carat weights, colours and clarity grades, giving you flexibility when choosing the size, quality and proportions that suit your preferences.
Many Nura Lab centre diamonds are available with independent grading reports, including IGI certification.
Choosing the Proportions of an Oval Diamond
Oval diamonds can vary considerably in length and width, even at the same carat weight. Some have a more rounded appearance, while others are longer and more slender.
The right proportions come down to personal preference and how you want the diamond to appear on the hand.
When creating a custom oval engagement ring, Nura Lab can help you compare different diamond proportions before selecting your centre stone.

Oval Engagement Rings FAQs
Are oval diamonds good for engagement rings?
Yes. Oval diamonds are a popular engagement ring choice because they combine brilliant sparkle with an elegant, elongated shape and work with a wide range of setting styles.
Do oval diamonds look larger than round diamonds?
Oval diamonds often have a larger face-up spread for their carat weight because their elongated shape covers more surface area across the finger. The exact appearance depends on the proportions and cut of the individual diamond.
What is the best setting for an oval diamond?
Oval diamonds work well with solitaire, hidden halo, pavé, cathedral, trilogy and bezel settings. The best choice depends on the overall look and profile you prefer.
Can an oval engagement ring be made low profile?
Yes. Depending on the basket and proportions of the centre diamond, an oval ring can be designed relatively low while maintaining appropriate support and security.
Can I customise an oval engagement ring?
Yes. Diamond size, proportions, metal, band width, prongs, hidden halo, pavé detailing and setting height can all be considered during the custom design process.
How long does a custom oval engagement ring take?
Most custom and made-to-order Nura Lab engagement rings take approximately 4–6 weeks after the final design and CAD have been approved, although timing can vary depending on the design and diamond availability.
