Oval Shaped Engagement Rings
Oval diamonds have long been recognized for their beauty and are now the most popular diamond shape for custom engagement ring shoppers. Oval-shaped diamonds have also gained recognition because of their soft appearance and naturally elongated shape.
What is an Oval-Shaped Engagement Ring?
An oval-shaped engagement ring is a ring that features a central diamond in the form of an oval-shaped gem; think of it as a round diamond that is stretched. Oval-shaped diamonds are typically used as a center diamond because they balance having a large face up appearance with a brilliant sparkle. Oval cut diamonds that are properly cut and proportioned are difficult to find on the market which makes them a rarity.

What is an Emerald Cut Engagement Ring?
The emerald-cut diamond has step cut faceting which means the facets run parallel to the center of the stone.

The most popular custom engagement ring setting for an emerald cut is a three-stone ring design.

Every couple hopes to find that perfect symbol of eternal love. Today, there are so many engagement ring styles and shapes available to choose from that it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Before you begin shopping for your engagement ring, it is wise to have a good understanding of what's available and the differences between the shape of your center stone and the design of your new engagement ring.
Popular Diamond Shapes
It's easy to confuse the shape of your new diamond center stone with the design of your ring. Shape simply refers to the cut of the stone while design alludes to the configuration of the band and setting. Popular diamond shapes for the modern engagement ring include, but are not limited to:
Round, Cushion, Oval, Radiant, Emerald, Pear, Princess, Asscher, Marquise, Hybrid, Heart
Engagement Ring Designs
Your ring design, however, describes how your stone is set and how the band itself is embellished.
- Halo: A frame of pave set diamonds that encases the top facing part of the center stone. When viewed from the top, a halo will increase the surface area of the diamond. This is a very popular style for many of our custom engagement rings.
- Solitaire: A plain, simple band with no stones adorning the metal.
- Pavé: Small diamonds or gemstones that are set close together in a line within the metal of the ring. The gems are separated and held in place by tiny bead prongs. The prongs holding the stones essentially disappear into the background of the ring giving the look of a continuous surface of diamonds.
- Three-Stone: A three-stone design is marked by a central stone, usually larger, flanked by a stone on each side.

Engagement Ring Gallery FAQs
What is the difference between a natural and lab-grown diamond?
Natural diamonds are formed deep within the earth over billions of years, while lab diamonds are created in a controlled environment using advanced technology. Both have the same chemical composition and visual brilliance but differ in origin and price. At Lauren B, we carry both options and are happy to help you decide what makes sense for your budget, preferences, and lifestyle.
