Two of the most beloved shapes, compared — brilliance, finger-flattering proportions, and how to choose between them.
The round brilliant is the most popular diamond shape in the world, and for good reason: its 57 facets are engineered to return the maximum possible light, giving it unrivalled fire and sparkle. It is timeless, versatile, and never out of fashion.
The oval offers a compelling alternative. Cut with the same brilliant faceting, it delivers comparable sparkle while its elongated shape flatters the finger and appears larger than a round of equal carat weight. It feels both classic and quietly contemporary.
Which to choose? If you prize maximum brilliance and enduring tradition, the round is your stone. If you are drawn to elegance, elongation, and a little individuality, the oval rewards you. Either way, cut quality matters most — and it is where we never compromise.
