YOUR OVAL CUT DIAMOND QUESTIONS
ARE OVAL CUT DIAMONDS MORE EXPENSIVE?
Oval cut diamonds are significantly less expensive than round cut diamonds – that means a bigger diamond for you budget!
Why Are Oval Cuts Cheaper?
More of the rough diamond is used when cutting an oval diamond. Less diamond discarded means a less expensive (and more sustainable) diamond for you! Wins all around.
is oval a good diamond cut?
Yes! Oval diamonds are a stunning, sparkling cut that share the timeless rounded shaped of a round brilliant diamond but at a lower cost. They elongate the finger and are just behind round diamonds in their brilliance factor.
Do oval cut diamonds sparkle?
Oval cut diamonds are a brilliant cut stone, meaning they’re incredibly sparkly. The amount of sparkle however, depends on the cut quality of your diamond – look for stones with a ‘very good’ or better cut grade for maximum sparkle.
Why doesn’t my oval diamond sparkle?
Oval diamonds with a low cut grade won’t sparkle nearly as much as oval cut diamonds with cut grades of ‘very good’ or better. Your oval cut diamond also might not be sparkly because it needs to be cleaned.
why does my oval diamond look cloudy?
Oval diamonds can look cloudy because of inclusions, a poor cut grade, or simply because they need to be cleaned – dirt or debris beneath your stone can show through to the top of the diamond and create a cloudy appearance.
