Oval Cut Diamond

The oval cut can produce a particularly beautiful shape which, provided its is well proportioned, gives away great scintillation.

The Oval cut was gradually developed over many years. In earlier times they were frequently perforated through the top so that they may be worn suspended.

The Oval cut could be seen as a squashed modification of the round.

An aspect ratio of length to width of about 1.5:1 is favored.
