The Oval Cut is an elongated version of the Round Brilliant Cut (typically 57 or 58 facets). While delivering excellent brilliance, it offers unique visual benefits and some considerations.
✨ Key Features & Advantages
· Larger & Slimmer Look (Bigger Apparent Size): For the same carat weight, an oval diamond has a larger surface area than a round diamond, making it look bigger. Its elongated shape also creates a slimming effect on the fingers, making the hand appear more elegant.
· Better Value: Oval cuts retain more rough diamond during the cutting process (lower yield loss than rounds). Typically, they are 20-40% less expensive than a comparable round brilliant diamond.
· Excellent Brilliance: Top-cut oval diamonds offer brilliance and fire comparable to round diamonds. Plus, with no sharp corners, they are less likely to chip during setting or daily wear.
