Oval cuts not only have the curves as in a round brilliant, they also have the scintillation and sparkle like them. In fact, there are many oval diamond rings designs to choose from depending on your likes and personal styling. For instance, if you have short fingers, opt for the oval diamond ring set lengthwise so that it gives an illusion of long fingers. One of the most popular oval diamond rings designs now is having the centerpiece claw set on a diamond set band. Besides, oval cut stones look good with gold, white gold, or rose gold bands alike, so a choice of metals is not hard either. One good thing about opting for any of the oval diamond rings designs is that it will be affordable when compared to a round brilliant of the same size. Yet again, make sure not to buy a diamond having the bow tie effect. It is the effect where a shadow is seen across the narrowest part of the diamond in a bow tie shape. Note that this is an important feature, which determines the cut quality of an oval cut diamond.
