A natural oval diamond combines the brilliance of a round with an elongated shape that faces up larger — offering excellent value within the natural diamond category. The oval is the most popular fancy shape for natural diamond engagement rings.

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.

An engagement ring does not need to cost a fortune to be meaningful. Under £1,000, lab-grown diamond rings offer genuine sparkle and certified quality at an accessible price. At MOH, every ring in this range is handcrafted in Hatton Garden with the same care as our most expensive pieces.

Natural oval diamonds are typically 10–20% less expensive than equivalent round brilliants.
