About Oval Lab Grown Diamonds
Created by Lazare Kaplan in the late 1950s, the oval brilliant cut was designed as an elongated alternative to the round brilliant that retains near-identical light performance. The 57-58 facets are arranged in a modified brilliant pattern that produces exceptional sparkle across the entire elongated profile. A well-cut oval diamond can achieve light return scores within 5% of an equivalent round brilliant, making it one of the highest-performing fancy shapes available.
The most discussed quality factor for oval diamonds is the bow-tie effect — a dark horizontal shadow across the center of the stone caused by light leakage beneath the pavilion facets. While all elongated shapes exhibit some bow-tie, a precisely cut oval minimizes it through optimal facet alignment and pavilion angles. The ideal length-to-width ratio ranges from 1.35 to 1.50, with 1.40-1.45 being the most sought-after proportion. Oval lab grown diamonds from Yuda Crystal are produced using CVD and HPHT technology with IGI certification for every stone.
Oval diamonds are especially popular for solitaire engagement rings, halo settings, and three-stone designs. Their elongated shape creates visual length on the finger, making the center diamond appear larger than its actual carat weight. Because the oval cutting process retains more rough crystal mass than a round brilliant, oval diamonds often deliver 10-15% more face-up surface area per carat, translating directly to better perceived value for jewelry retailers and their end customers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bow-tie effect in oval diamonds and can it be avoided?
The bow-tie effect is a dark horizontal shadow visible across the center of oval and other elongated diamonds, caused by light escaping through the pavilion rather than reflecting back to the eye. While all elongated shapes exhibit some degree of bow-tie, a well-cut oval minimizes it through precise facet alignment and optimal pavilion angles. When sourcing oval diamonds, look for stones where the bow-tie is faint and only visible from certain angles rather than a prominent dark bar across the entire width.
Oval vs round diamond — which offers better value?
Oval diamonds typically offer 15-25% lower wholesale prices per carat than round brilliants of equivalent color and clarity. Additionally, oval diamonds appear 5-10% larger face-up due to their elongated shape and higher rough-to-polished yield. This combination — lower cost per carat plus larger perceived size — makes oval diamonds an excellent value proposition for price-sensitive buyers who still want exceptional brilliance.
What setting makes an oval diamond look larger?
A thin-band solitaire setting with a hidden halo maximizes an oval diamond's face-up appearance. North-south orientation emphasizes the elongating finger effect, while east-west settings create a more contemporary look. Halo settings add significant perceived size — a 1-carat oval in a halo can visually read as 1.5+ carats.
