A commonly posed topic is what moissanite shape is best to buy. This is a very individual choice because of each form's particular beauty and distinguishing characteristics. But there are several crucial elements to consider when choosing the appropriate diamond for your engagement ring.

Why are oval rings popular?

Oval rings are a particularly popular shape for engagement rings. This is because it's intended to represent both the tenacity of a connection as well as, of course, its unique shape and brilliance. Essential things you need to know about oval moissanite ring.

Factors to consider when selecting an oval ring

The advantages of an oval-shaped ring are numerous. An oval cut ring can be your best option if you appreciate the appearance of a round moissanite ring but would rather have a unique style.

For instance, an oval ring's elongated body makes it appear larger than other shapes with the same carat weight. Usually, it also gives the hand and fingers a slimmer appearance. The absence of corners in the form makes it less likely to chip and tangle in clothing or even hair for engagement rings worn daily.

You can further customize your oval-cut diamond ring by picking the kind of precious metal or the setting. Yellow gold can give an oval ring a vintage look, even if it is brand new. Use brilliant white gold instead if you want your ring to appear entirely made of moissanite. This is done so that the immaculate white gold and moissanite blending will focus your attention on the stone rather than the setting.

What to look for when buying an oval ring

Several considerations should be made after selecting an oval engagement ring. One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing a moissanite ring is cut, sometimes called the ''make''. This concerns the moissanite's symmetry and how expertly it was cut and polished.

The sparkle

All moissanite rings will sparkle, but some will do so more brilliantly and vibrantly than others because of how they were cut and how that has affected how they reflect light. For instance, a magnificent-looking ring can be made using well-shaped oval-cut moissanite.

Stone ratio

Another crucial aspect to consider is the stone's ratio. Although this is equally subjective and arbitrary, there are optimal ratios. Although certain rings with oval-cut moissanite may have a few more facets depending on how the stone was cut.
The ratio of the stone, often known as the "bowtie effect," as well as the characteristics of cut, color, and clarity, can influence a moissanite's price. For instance, according to their symmetry, polish, and cut, two 1ct oval diamonds of the same color and clarity may sell for different prices.

Bowtie cut

The left and right centers of the oval moissanite ring are often cut with two somewhat darker shadows. These are sometimes referred to as "bowties." Where light cannot reflect into the moissanite, the bowtie effect creates a tiny shadow that lowers the moissanite's performance and brilliance. It can be difficult to cut an oval-shaped moissanite ring without bowties due to the stone's proportions.

This trait may be desirable to some people. Some moissanite industry professionals believe that the bowties add individuality to the stone. The idea is to choose an oval-cut moissanite ring with a delicate bowtie rather than a robust one because the bowtie effect cannot be prevented.
