Oval Engagement Ring, White Gold

A bright oval diamond held high in four slim claws, on a band set with a row of small diamonds. This 14K white gold engagement ring keeps the classic solitaire shape and adds sparkle all the way around the finger. The long oval lengthens the hand and looks larger face-up than a round stone of the same weight. Handmade to order in our Yerevan workshop.

Why an oval ring? The oval is one of the most flattering engagement ring shapes: it has the brilliance of a round diamond, a longer outline that makes fingers look slimmer, and more face-up size per carat. With a diamond band, the ring shines from every angle, not only from the top.

Find your size: measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits you well, or measure your ring size at home. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Care: clean with warm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush. Check the claws and the band stones once a year, and take the ring off for the gym and heavy work.
