Search for Oval Cut Diamonds

An oval cut diamond combines rich history with modern chic. Diamond rings are popular worldwide but oval cut engagement rings are a twist on the classic round design. Oval cut diamonds elongate your finger and have one of the most brilliant sparkles. The diamond can be in a halo, trilogy or solitaire setting, and each stone is graded by cut, clarity, carat and colour.
