For such a simple design, oval diamonds as we know them have a relatively short history. Designed for the first time by Lazare Kaplan in 1957, today brides-to-be of all over the world can enjoy the fruits of Mr. Kaplan’s labor with gorgeous oval cut engagement rings that are easily available in hundreds of different styles and fashions.
Here at Corinne Jewelers, we are proud to have an amazing variety of stylish oval cut engagement rings from Fana, Gabriel New York, and Simon G. Let’s take a look at some of the various types of oval cut engagement rings on offer:
Oval Cut Ring Type #1: Halo Engagement Rings

Judging by the pieces on display, halos really are heavenly, aren’t they?
When we talk about a “halo” style piece, we’re referring to an engagement ring made with a brilliant circle of diamonds that surround the model’s center diamond. Halos can be designed for any cut of diamond, but when they’re made for oval cut diamonds a special kind of magic happens.
Since oval cut diamonds already create the visual illusion that they’re bigger than a comparably-sized round cut diamond, the addition of halo set diamonds adds a “wow!” factor that makes the center stone of a woman’s engagement ring seem like a huge, sparkling treasure.
Alongside the A. Jaffe, Fana, and Gabriel New York pieces we’ve seen so far, take a look at Corinne Jewelers’ selection of Simon G. halo-style rings in the Passion and Modern Enchantment lines for some additional ideas for your engagement.
Oval Cut Ring Type #1: Sidestone Engagement Rings

While halos add a dramatic pop to any oval cut diamond, there are other ways of accentuating the beauty of this uniquely-shaped center stone.
Rather than rely on a crown of diamonds to emphasize the oval stone, sidestone engagement rings feature small stones set into the band of the ring itself to reflect the sparkle and fire of the oval diamond.
An additional benefit of the sidestone style is the freedom in design. As opposed to halo rings that must cradle the center stone, bridal jewelry designers can playfully set the sidestones in an assortment of different ways giving brides-to-be the power to try a variety of sidestone ring variants to find a design they love best with their oval cut diamond.
Oval Cut Ring Type #1: Solitaire Engagement Rings

In addition to the glamour and beauty of these two oval ring designs, solitaire style oval cut diamond engagement ring lets the accentuations and additional precious stones in the ring step aside to let the center diamond do the work of charming viewers.
Since oval cut diamonds are one of the most popular choices for engagement rings, there’s nothing wrong with choosing to make the center diamond the spotlight of your engagement! The A. Jaffe Art Deco and Classics engagement ring collections both contain startlingly lovely designs that are fabulous for symbolizing your eternal love and commitment.
