At Vermont Gem Lab, we celebrate love stories with fine custom craftsmanship, responsibly sourced stones, and designs as unique as your journey together. In this guide, we’re diving deep into why oval engagement rings are stealing the spotlight—and how we can help you bring your perfect ring to life.
Why Choose an Oval Diamond Engagement Ring?
If you're searching for a diamond that blends brilliance with beauty, look no further than the oval cut. Here’s why it stands out:
1. Timeless Beauty Meets Modern Romance
Oval diamonds are a modified brilliant cut, which means they offer nearly the same sparkle as round diamonds—but with a fresh twist. Their elongated shape has graced the hands of royalty, celebrities, and modern romantics alike.
2. Flattering Shape on Every Finger
The length of the oval elongates the finger, making it appear slimmer and more elegant. It’s universally flattering and suited for all ring sizes and styles.
3. Maximizes Carat Weight
Oval diamonds tend to look larger than round stones of the same carat weight because of their elongated surface area. You get the more visible diamond for your investment—without compromising on beauty.
4. Versatility in Design
Whether you love a classic solitaire, a halo of smaller diamonds, or a vintage-inspired setting, oval stones are incredibly adaptable. That’s where the magic of custom design at Vermont Gem Lab truly shines.
Design Possibilities for Engagement Rings Oval in Shape
When you choose an oval diamond, you're opening up a world of design possibilities. Let’s explore a few stunning options we can custom-create at Vermont Gem Lab:
✨ Solitaire Settings
Elegant and timeless, a solitaire setting places all the attention on your oval diamond. Pair it with a yellow gold, platinum, or rose gold band for a truly sophisticated look.
✨ Halo Settings
Surround your center stone with a halo of sparkling diamonds to add dimension and visual impact. This style enhances the brilliance and makes the center stone appear even larger.
✨ Three-Stone Rings
Symbolizing the past, present, and future, three-stone engagement rings with oval diamonds at the center are deeply meaningful and rich in sparkle.
✨ East-West Settings
For a bold and modern take, rotate the oval diamond horizontally. This east-west style is edgy, sleek, and unforgettable.
✨ Vintage-Inspired
Add milgrain detailing, filigree, or antique prongs for a romantic nod to vintage design, perfectly suited to the elegance of the oval cut.
The Craft Behind Every Ring
At Vermont Gem Lab, we don’t just sell engagement rings—we craft wearable works of art. Every ring begins with your story and ends with a masterpiece designed to last for generations.

Pairing Your Oval Diamond with the Right Band
Choosing the perfect band to complement your oval center stone is key to completing the look. Here are a few pairing ideas we love:
- Pavé Bands: Add a delicate shimmer that doesn’t overpower the center stone.
- Plain Gold Bands: For a classic and minimalist feel.
- Split Shank: A modern twist that adds dimension and drama.
- Twisted or Interlocking Bands: Symbolizing unity and eternity—just like your love.
Each band can be handcrafted to suit your style. Our design specialists will guide you through the best options for your chosen oval diamond.
How to Choose the Best Oval Diamond
Every diamond is unique, but when choosing engagement rings oval, here’s what to keep in mind:
🔍 Length-to-Width Ratio
This determines how "long" or "wide" the diamond appears. Most people prefer ratios between 1.30 and 1.50 for the ideal oval shape.
🔍 Avoiding the Bow-Tie Effect
Some oval diamonds display a dark area in the center (called a bow-tie). At Vermont Gem Lab, we hand-select stones that minimize this effect, ensuring maximum brilliance.
🔍 Clarity and Color
Oval diamonds tend to show inclusions more than rounds. Our gemologists help you select the perfect clarity and color for beauty and value.
