Oval Shape Diamonds

A diamond's shape is its outline when viewed from the top and is one of its most important defining characteristics. An oval cut diamond emits nearly the same level of brilliance and fire as a round cut diamond as it is cut with the same number of facets. Unlike round cut diamonds, oval cut diamonds have an elongated shape, which makes the diamond appear larger in carat weight.

Diamond Shape

When selecting a certified diamond, shape is one of the most important factors to consider. The contours and outlines of a loose diamond have a significant impact on its appearance. At Brilliance, we offer the ten most popular shapes in our certified diamond search. Round diamonds have long been the most popular, although many modern consumers prefer alternative shapes, including emerald, princess, radiant, and oval, among others. Each diamond shape has its own unique traits, aesthetic properties, and markings of quality.

Oval Cut Diamonds

Timeless and classic, an oval cut diamond is flattering to most any wearer, creating the illusion of a longer, more slender finger. Cut with the same number of facets as a round diamond, an oval shape emits nearly the same level of brilliance and fire, and its elongated shape makes it appear larger in carat weight than a round.

To achieve optimal symmetry and light performance in a loose diamond, the stone must be cut to specific depth and table percentages. The depth percentage of a diamond measures the ratio of the stone’s depth to the diamond’s total diameter. The table percentage is the ratio of the width of the diamond’s top facet in relation to the width of the entire stone. For oval cut diamonds, the depth and table ranges below will yield different qualities of cut.

  • Depth Percentage
    • Ideal: 66% – 56%
    • Excellent: 72% – 54%
    • Very Good: 76% – 52%
    • Good: 78% – 46%
  • Table Percentage
    • Ideal: 64% – 54%
    • Excellent: 66% – 52%
    • Very Good: 68% – 50%
    • Good: 75% – 45%

Every diamond shape has a length-to-width ratio, which determines how a certified diamond will appear when viewed from above. When selecting an oval shaped diamond, look for a length-to-with ratio between 1.3 and 1.65.
