Lazare Kaplan introduced the oval-cut diamond engagement ring design in 1957, and since then it has become a timeless classic in the world of fine jewelry. The oval-cut diamond has an elongated round brilliant cut and is considered one of the most brilliant finishes in the market. This elegant shape creates a stunning and romantic look with a vintage touch, making it a popular choice for engagement rings and luxury daily wear. Other gemstones, such as white sapphires, moissanite, and topaz, are also popular choices.
Oval cut diamonds are particularly stunning in a yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold band setting. Our showroom offers beautiful Padparadscha sapphires, Paraíba tourmaline, and pink spinel. Our selection includes a stunning piece with a claw setting in platinum or 18ct yellow gold, engraved with floral filigree petals, and hundreds of pavé-set brilliant white diamonds.
