Oval vs. Round Engagement Rings: What You Need to Know

Choosing between an oval and a round engagement ring? You’re not alone. These two timeless shapes are among the most popular—and for good reason.

Round-cut diamonds are the classic choice, known for maximum brilliance and a perfectly symmetrical shape. They’re ideal for those who love tradition, sparkle, and a universally flattering look.

Oval-cut diamonds, on the other hand, offer a unique twist on the classic round. Their elongated shape makes fingers appear longer and slimmer, and they tend to look larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight. Ovals are perfect for someone who wants something elegant, modern, and slightly unexpected.

When it comes to price, oval diamonds are typically more affordable per carat than round cuts, offering more visible surface area for your budget.

In the end, both shapes are stunning—it comes down to personal style. Choose round for timeless sparkle or go oval for graceful elegance with a fresh feel.

At KRK Jewels, we offer both shapes in a wide range of designs and settings. Whether you love the brilliance of a round or the beauty of an oval, we’ll help you find (or design) the perfect ring.
