Oval Engagement Rings

Are oval engagement rings trending for 2025?

In 2025, couples are increasingly opting for rings that blend modern and traditional styles, and oval engagement rings are central to this trend. Rounder, softer cuts like teardrop and oval shapes are more popular than ever, as well as three-stone rings with oval centre stones. 

Statement pieces have also become increasingly popular in recent years. Unique shapes, asymmetric settings, solitaire rings (like The Dahlia Oval Sapphire Engagement Ring), heavy yellow gold rings, and personalised designs are expected to continue to trend in 2025. 

Customers are also drawn to more sustainable, ethical options, like lab-grown diamonds and diamond alternatives like moissanite and cubic zirconia. Jewellers are using more recycled materials, eco-friendly manufacturing processes, and responsibly sourced materials. 

What are the benefits of choosing an oval-cut diamond for an engagement ring?

Oval-cut diamonds are perfect for anyone looking for a budget-friendly diamond engagement ring. Their oval shape means they sparkle more than most diamonds, making them look bigger than they really are. They have a timeless appearance that can make someone’s fingers look longer and more slender. 

Oval-cut engagement rings are also typically more durable than other shapes, as the stone has fewer weak points and is less prone to chipping or fracturing over time. 

What are the differences between natural and lab-grown diamonds for oval cuts?

Diamond engagement rings are a symbol of everlasting love that many couples are drawn to. These days, you’ve got two main options: natural diamonds or lab-grown diamonds. They look the same to the naked eye and usually have identical physical and chemical properties. They’re also measured by the same properties: cut, clarity, carat weight, and colour. 

The main differences between natural and lab-grown diamonds are their origin and their price tag. Natural diamonds are sometimes closely associated with political conflict, human suffering, and false scarcity. 

Natural diamonds are typically formed in underground, high-pressure, high-temperature environments, usually in places with volcanic or tectonic activity. Most natural diamonds are mined using open-pit mining, in which the top layer is removed to reveal the diamond layer beneath.

Lab-grown diamonds are made by applying a large amount of heat and pressure to carbon-rich materials around a diamond seed. This method is much more environmentally friendly, and the diamonds produced are less likely to have inclusions or small faults.  

What metal options are recommended for oval engagement rings in 2025?

At the end of 2024, platinum engagement rings were a popular choice for young couples, as they’re durable and luxurious. Vintage-inspired rose gold engagement rings were also trendy in 2024. 

In 2025, we expect heavy yellow gold rings to take centre stage in engagement ring trends alongside white gold and sterling silver. Mixed metal rings, also known as two-tone rings, are also more popular than ever thanks to their distinctive appearance and versatility.

How do I choose between a plain band or a halo setting for an oval ring?

A halo setting is a gemstone setting in which a central stone is surrounded by a ring of smaller gemstones, creating the illusion of a halo. It’s a beautiful option for anyone who wants an engagement ring with a little extra sparkle or luxury. 

Hidden halo rings are more subtle. The ring of smaller gemstones is set back from the central stone and is only visible from a side view. They’re perfect for anyone who wants a touch of quiet luxury in their oval engagement ring. 

Plain band rings are better for those who lead active lives or prefer more understated designs. They’re less eye-catching, but the smaller number of gemstones means they’re less likely to get damaged or knocked out in everyday life.
