Oval Clarity
What clarity is best for an oval diamond?
Clarity really is dependent on personal preference. When diamonds are formed deep in the earth, they develop clarity characteristics–slight irregularities visible under 10x magnification.Depending on the size, quantity, placement, tone or color of these clarity characteristics, they may or may not be visible to the naked eye. This is one of the reasons why a truly flawless diamond is so rare.
Some people may be entirely comfortable with a diamond that features clarity characteristics (also known as inclusions) that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Others may insist on a technically flawless appearance for absolute perfection.
To ensure the brilliance and fire that makes oval diamonds so enchanting, we recommend SI1 clarity grades or higher.

| 1.00-2.00ct | FL-VVS2 | VS1-VS2 | SI1-SI2 |

Oval cut diamonds can be set in a variety of engagement ring settings, from solitaires to halos to vintage-inspired designs. Their elongated shape allows for creative and unique setting options, making them a versatile choice for different engagement ring styles.

Halo, double halo, and hidden halo settings can enhance the beauty of an oval diamond engagement ring. A traditional halo setting provides a classic and refined look, while a double halo adds extra drama and glamour.
