    The Oval engagement rings of Kourtney Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, Blake Lively and more!

    Without doubt, oval engagement rings are on-trend right now, with stars such as Kourtney Kardashian sporting an incredible oval shaped ring given to her by her new fiancê Travis Barker. But, the stunning shape has been popular with celebrities for a long time, with Blake Lively somewhat starting the trend in 2012. Let’s take a look at these glamorous rings of the stars and royalty, and find out why the oval shape has become so popular. 

    Though diamonds have been cut into ovular shapes for hundreds of years, the modern ideal oval cut we commonly see wasn’t created until 1957 by Russian-born diamond cutter, Lazare Kaplan. In 2011, Prince William gave Kate Middleton a ring which once belonged to his mother, the late Princess Diana, a gorgeous blue sapphire oval. It’s now one of the most famous oval cuts in the world, albeit a sapphire and not a diamond (the engagement ring however, is surrounded by another 14 diamonds).

    Kourtney Kardashian’s oval cut diamond engagement ring

    Despite an incredible price tag of an estimated US $1 million, Kourtney Kardashian’s beautiful oval cut diamond engagement ring still maintains a minimalist edge being set on a thin pave diamond band.

    Blake Lively

    With an even more incredible price tag of an estimated US $2 million, Blake Lively’s stunning ring is to die for. It features a solitaire-set oval pink diamond in a stunning, subtle blush shade, complete with a diamond-accented, rose-gold setting. The price here would have been driven up by the pink diamond. Pink diamonds are some of the rarest in the world, and we have to say, it was money well spent!

    Hailey Bieber

    Hailey's engagement ring features a gorgeous oval cut diamond that is estimated to be around 10-carats. It is nearly colourless and set on a simple yellow gold solitaire with diamonds on the basket.

    Ariana Grande

    Ariana's ring is a one-of-a-kind, with an oval diamond set at an angle, alongside a single pearl. Jewellery experts have estimated that the ring is around 5-7 carats, and we love the addition of the single pearl, giving a really sweet unique, personal touch.

    Tips when buying an oval cut

    Length-to-Width Ratio

    Consider how elongated you’d like the oval. The length-to-width ratio in an oval diamond is a matter of preference, but most prefer ratios between 1.3 and 1.5. 

    Oval Cuts and the Bowtie

    All fancy shape diamonds have some light leakage. In oval cuts, a bowtie shape forms across the middle of the stone. While an oval-cut diamond will always have a bowtie, not all bowties are alike. They can have differing degrees of prominence as well as effects on performance. Take a look at the diamond through a jeweller's loupe to see the inflections in more detail. 

    Clarity

    Due to the high brilliance of this cut, imperfections in the diamond are usually difficult to see. A diamond with a clarity grade of VS2 or SI1 will most likely appear clean to the naked eye. Take care to avoid dark inclusions near the centre of the diamond, since these are the most noticeable.
