What is an oval gemstone engagement ring?

It is a colored gemstone — most often a sapphire, ruby, or emerald — cut to the elongated oval shape and set as the center stone. The oval is the colored stone world's signature cut, the shape of history's most famous sapphire engagement ring, displaying hue along a finger-lengthening line.

Why are so many fine sapphires cut as ovals?

The rough decides — corundum crystals naturally suit oval proportions, letting cutters preserve maximum weight and color from each stone, so generations of the best material have become ovals. The practical upside for buyers: the oval offers the deepest, best-value selection of quality sapphires and rubies of any shape, at nearly every size.

Do oval colored stones show a bow-tie like oval diamonds?

Far less — the bow-tie is a brilliant-cut light-return artifact most visible in colorless stones, and colored gems are cut primarily for hue, with body color filling the face where a diamond would show shadow. What matters instead is a color check: look for even saturation without a washed-out window at the stone's center.

What metal and stone options are available in this collection?

Luvari offers oval gemstone rings in 10K, 14K, and 18K yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold, as well as platinum, across every setting style we make, with center stones led by sapphires in a range of colors alongside emeralds, rubies, and other fine gemstones. Details can be tailored through the semi-custom process.

What settings suit an oval colored stone best?

The full range, famously — the diamond halo recreates the royal reference, the solitaire and hidden halo show the color unbordered, and the bezel deepens the hue while guarding the stone. The oval's curved outline takes every setting style gracefully, which is part of why the colored stone world standardized on it.

If diamonds have the round, colored stones have the oval. The elongated cut is the colored gem world's native shape — corundum crystals yield ovals naturally, cutters favor them for preserving weight and color from the rough, and the most famous engagement ring on earth is a blue oval sapphire ringed in diamonds. The elongated silhouette displays color across more of the finger, its hue running the cut's full length like fabric unrolled.

Luvari's oval gemstone engagement rings currently come in one design, Cora: a 0.75 carat oval lab grown emerald in a three stone bezel signet setting, offered in 10K, 14K, and 18K yellow gold.
