Best Oval Diamonds

The oval cut is the fastest-growing diamond shape — prized for its elongated silhouette that faces up larger than a round of the same carat weight. The best oval diamonds combine excellent cut quality with ideal proportions that eliminate the "bow-tie" shadow effect.

Unlike round brilliants, oval diamonds do not have a standardised cut grade from GIA. This makes expert selection essential — proportions, symmetry, and light performance must be evaluated individually. At MOH London, our gemmologists assess every oval diamond for bow-tie severity, light return, and overall visual impact.
