How does the carat size of an oval diamond compare to other shapes?
Oval diamonds often appear larger than other shapes of the same carat weight due to their elongated form. This makes them an excellent choice for maximizing visual impact without increasing the carat size. The oval shape also offers a larger surface area, enhancing its brilliance.
What is a hidden halo in an oval engagement ring?
A hidden halo is a circle of smaller diamonds set beneath the main oval diamond, adding extra sparkle without being immediately visible. This subtle detail enhances the overall brilliance of the ring. It’s a popular choice for those who want a touch of extra elegance.

Are pear-shaped diamonds durable?
