When it comes to engagement rings, more and more brides are seeking a style that blends timeless beauty with personal expression. While round brilliant diamonds remain a popular choice, there’s one shape that continues to rise in popularity for its graceful appearance, modern charm, and flattering silhouette: the oval cut.
At KRK Jewels, we believe your engagement ring should reflect your unique love story. That’s why our oval engagement ring collection features designs that are anything but ordinary—each one created to capture elegance, individuality, and unforgettable sparkle.
In this guide, we explore what makes oval engagement rings so special, why they’re in such high demand, and the most stunning design options we offer at KRK Jewels.
Why Choose an Oval Diamond?
Oval diamonds are a sophisticated take on the traditional round cut, offering similar brilliance with a more elongated, elegant profile. First introduced in the 1960s, the oval cut has steadily grown in popularity for its flattering shape and timeless appeal.
Here are a few reasons brides are choosing oval over traditional cuts:
Larger Look per Carat
Thanks to their elongated shape, oval diamonds tend to appear larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight—giving you more visual presence without the extra cost.
Flattering Silhouette
The oval cut creates a slimming effect on the hand, elongating the appearance of the finger for a sleek and elegant look that works on every hand shape.
Brilliance & Fire
With 56 to 58 facets, the oval cut delivers exceptional brilliance and sparkle—comparable to that of a round brilliant diamond.
Timeless Yet Trend-Forward
Oval engagement rings strike the perfect balance between classic and contemporary. They’re beloved by brides who want a timeless design that still feels personal and fresh.
Oval Engagement Ring Designs at KRK Jewels
At KRK Jewels, our oval engagement rings are designed to stand out. We focus on clean lines, expert craftsmanship, and ethically sourced diamonds to ensure that every ring is a true heirloom—crafted to last a lifetime.
Here are some of our most unique and popular oval ring designs:
The Classic Oval Solitaire
A single, stunning oval diamond set on a sleek band—this design is the definition of effortless elegance. Choose your metal (white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, or platinum) and finish (matte, polished, or hammered) to create a timeless piece that suits your personal style.
Oval Halo Rings
Add extra sparkle with a halo of brilliant-cut diamonds that surround the center oval stone. This design enhances the perceived size of the diamond and creates a stunning frame that catches light from every angle.
At KRK Jewels, we offer delicate halos for a subtle glow or bolder halos for a dramatic effect. This is the perfect choice for brides who love sparkle and detail.
Three-Stone Oval Engagement Rings
Symbolizing your past, present, and future together, the three-stone ring is rich with meaning. We love pairing an oval center diamond with pear- or round-cut side stones for a harmonious, balanced look.
Whether you want a classic three-diamond style or a more vintage arrangement, this design always feels elegant and thoughtful.
East-West Set Oval Rings
Looking for something truly unique? An east-west setting rotates the oval diamond horizontally across the band, creating a bold, modern silhouette. This look is minimal, fresh, and sophisticated—a favorite among trend-forward brides who still want something enduring.
Vintage-Inspired Oval Designs
For romantics and old-soul brides, our vintage-inspired oval rings offer intricate detail and timeless charm. Think hand-engraved bands, milgrain edges, filigree accents, and bezel settings that evoke eras past.
These rings are crafted with care and storytelling in mind—designed to feel like treasures passed down through generations.
