Oval Side Stone Engagement Rings Under £2,000

The oval cut combines the brilliance of a round with an elongated silhouette that faces up approximately 10% larger than a round of the same carat weight. Its shape creates the illusion of longer, more slender fingers, making it one of the most flattering diamond shapes available. The oval has surged in popularity, becoming the second most requested shape for engagement rings.

Side stone settings feature smaller diamonds set along the band, adding sparkle and visual interest that draws the eye from the centre stone outward. Popular configurations include pavé, channel-set, and shared-prong designs.
