They offer a unique and elegant look different from the traditional round cut diamonds. \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut-diamond\">Oval cut diamonds \u003C/a>\u003C/span>are similar to round cut diamonds as they are both brilliant cuts, meaning, they have many facets that create sparkle. However, the oval cut diamond gives out a more contemporary look due to its elongated shape. When compared to round cut diamonds Oval cut diamonds tend to look larger even if they have the same \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/1-carat-vs-2-carat\">carat weight\u003C/a>\u003C/span>. This is because the oval shape has a larger surface area than a round diamond, which can make it appear bigger to the naked eye. Oval cut diamonds are an excellent choice for individuals who desire a bigger diamond without breaking the bank because they frequently cost less than round cut diamonds of the same carat weight.\u003Cstrong>\u003Cbr>\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/oval-vs-round-diamonds/revamped/image_1.webp\" alt=\"Oval Cut Diamonds\" width=\"1152\" height=\"1062\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut-diamond\">explore oval cut LAB DIAMOND\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">The Difference Between Round & Oval Diamonds\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">When it comes to oval vs. round diamonds, each has its own distinct properties. Personal preference eventually determines which of the two to choose. Let's examine the distinctions between oval vs. round cut diamonds in more detail.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Shape and Symmetry\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The most obvious difference between oval vs. round diamonds is their shape. Round diamonds are perfectly symmetrical, with 58 facets that create excellent brilliance and fire. The oval brilliant cut diamond, on the other hand, has a more elongated shape, with 56 facets that create a unique pattern of light reflection known as the \"bow-tie effect.\" The bow tie effect is when certain diamond cuts, like oval, \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds/marquise-cut-diamond\">marquise\u003C/a>\u003C/span>, and \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds/pear-cut-diamond\">pear shapes\u003C/a>\u003C/span>, display a visible bow tie-shaped area in the center due to light refraction. This results in fainter brilliance and light leakage, and can vary based on cut quality and the stone itself.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Size and Appearance\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Oval diamonds might look bigger than round diamonds of the same carat weight due to their elongated form. This is because the oval diamond's length to width ratio gives the illusion of a larger size. Oval diamonds can also elongate fingers and create a slimming effect. On the other hand, round diamonds typically feature a round shape that differs in carat weights but never in shape. Round diamonds are universal and have a classic, timeless appearance that can be versatile in a variety of settings.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Brilliance and Fire\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Round diamonds are well-known for their exceptional brilliance and fire. They have a maximum reflection and display a beautiful, symmetrical pattern which hides inclusions and blemishes. Oval diamonds also display brilliance and fire, but the elongated shape can sometimes lead to less light return and a less symmetrical pattern. However, a well-cut, higher \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/what-is-diamond-grading\">color grade\u003C/a>\u003C/span> oval diamond can still be quite brilliant and beautiful.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Setting and Style\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Both oval vs. round diamonds can look stunning in a variety of settings. Round diamonds are often seen in classic settings such as solitaires and \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/three-stone-engagement-rings\">three stone diamond rings\u003C/a>\u003C/span>. Oval diamonds are fancy shapes well-suited for more modern settings, including split shank and halo styles. The elongated shape of oval diamonds can also be used to create a unique look when paired with side stones or tapered baguettes.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/oval-vs-round-diamonds/revamped/image_2.webp\" alt=\"Setting and Style\" width=\"1152\" height=\"1062\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/three-stone-engagement-rings\">shop three stone ring settings\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Price\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Round diamonds are in higher demand than oval diamonds, making them more expensive. The round cut requires more skill to cut, and the cutting process results in more diamond loss, which adds to the cost. Oval diamonds, on the other hand, can be a more affordable option, making them a popular choice for those on a budget.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">In conclusion, both oval vs. round diamonds are stunning and have distinctive qualities. Your preference, desired style, and setting are ultimately what determine whether to choose an oval or round diamond. The cut grade, price range, style, and diamond quality should all be taken into account when choosing between these shapes for an \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/engagement-rings\">engagement ring\u003C/a>\u003C/span>.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Friendly Diamonds provides a vast array of premium \u003Cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">diamond engagement rings \u003C/span>including diamonds in \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut-diamond\">princess\u003C/a>\u003C/span>, \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut-diamond\">cushion\u003C/a>\u003C/span>, and pear shapes in addition to oval vs. round diamonds.
