Why Choose an Oval Cut Diamond Engagement Ring?
The oval cut diamond is beautiful, stylish, and full of personality. It has 58 facets that make it sparkle brilliantly, just like the popular round diamonds. Its long shape makes fingers look longer and more elongated, adding a touch of class to any hand. At CaratBee, every oval diamond is carefully checked to ensure it shines brightly and looks perfect.

How to Choose the Perfect Oval Cut Engagement Ring
Selecting the right engagement ring can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry; we’re here to help! Follow these tips to find the one :
- Consider Her Style: Is she into minimalism, vintage charm, or maximalist bling? Understanding her preferences narrows down the options significantly.
- Think About Size: Make sure the center stone aligns with what she’d prefer. At CaratBee, we offer ovals ranging from petite to showstopping sizes.

Oval Cut Vs. Other Diamond Shapes
Wondering how the oval cut stacks up against other popular diamond shapes? Here’s a quick comparison:
- Round Brilliant: Both share similar sparkle levels, but rounds are slightly more traditional. Ovals bring a fresh twist while maintaining brilliance.
- Marquise: Like ovals, marquises elongate the finger, but their pointed ends make them less versatile for everyday wear.
- Pear Shape: Similar to ovals, pears taper to one end, which may suit someone seeking asymmetry over symmetry.
- Princess Cut: Square shaped princess cuts offer a bold geometric vibe, whereas ovals provide soft curves for a softer aesthetic.
Ultimately, the choice comes down to personal preference. But if you’re after a mix of brilliance, uniqueness, and versatility, the oval cut might be your answer.
Caring for Your Oval Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
Once you’ve found “the one,” keeping it sparkling like new is key. To keep your ring looking its best, start with regular cleaning by soaking it in warm water mixed with mild soap once a week. Use a soft brush to gently scrub under the prongs and remove any dirt buildup. Schedule annual check-ups with a jeweler to inspect the setting and tighten the prongs if necessary.
Avoid exposing your ring to harsh chemicals like bleach, chlorine, or household cleaners, as they can damage the metal and dull the diamonds. When you're not wearing your ring, store it in a separate pouch or box to prevent scratches and keep it safe.
