Oval Cut

The oval cut derives its name from the Latin word "ovum," meaning "egg." It is an elliptical shape that extends a round brilliant cut vertically or horizontally.

Compared to the round brilliant cut, the oval cut often requires less polishing, thus maximally utilizing the original shape, beauty, and carat weight of the rough diamond.
The cut is optimized from the rough stone, resulting in various length-to-width ratios.

When set vertically, the elongated shape can make fingers appear slimmer and longer.
The smooth, oval shape gives a calm and classic impression, making it a preferred cut style.
