Are you looking for the perfect ring for 2022? Oval-cut rings are making headway into the fashion world this year. This stunning diamond shape is a favorite of celebrities and makes an impression with its simplistic, modern design.
The oval-cut diamond has been around for hundreds of years, but only until recently the gemstone shape has become increasingly more popular. Whether you are looking for a classic, modern, or vintage design, read about the history of oval shaped rings and discover our favorite oval stone ring styles!
Oval-Cut Rings Through the Years
The oval-cut ring did not have the most beautiful start to its creation. Jewelers in the 1300s fashioned the first famous oval-cut diamond, which became known as the “Koh-i-Noor”, or “mountain of light”. The Koh-i-Noor was a roughly cut and rounded oval-shaped diamond. Its blocky cuts made the diamond appear darkly colored. This diamond traveled with royalty from country to country until finally ending up in the coronation crown of Queen Alexandra, where it still resides today.
Medieval and Renaissance paintings continue to show the dark-colored diamonds. It wasn't until the 1950s when Lazare Kaplan perfected the cut of the oval diamond. Through years of research, new technology, and mathematical equations with his father and uncle, Lazare finally brought out the exquisite oval-cut diamond in all its light and brilliance.
Today, the oval-cut diamond style has grown in popularity due to its classic yet modern look. This cut can show up in a simple solitaire ring or a vintage-style halo ring. Due to its elongated shape, the oval-cut ring design appears larger than the actual carat amount, and the long oval brings the wearer a thinner, longer look to the fingers.

4. East to West
Oval-cut rings are all about the style. With oval-cut gemstones, you can place them in different orientations to highlight their uniqueness. When the oval is placed lengthwise within the ring, it is called an east to west setting. This style makes the ring look more luxurious and unique as it paves the road to the side diamonds.
Our east-west oval ring brings eyes to the stone first and then lingers straight into the side diamonds. Choose a gem that speaks boldly to this ring and match it with the perfect band metal and pavé colors.
5. Halo
If you are looking for a vintage-style ring, our oval stone halo ring is for you. With this design, the center gemstone is surrounded by a “halo” of small pavé gemstones or diamonds. This style creates the beautiful illusion of a larger center stone, especially when the pavé gemstones and center stones match. You can customize this oval-cut ring, from the stones to the band. This ring sparkles in different directions and has the same eye appeal today as it did centuries ago.
