This page gathers every gemstone in our collection cut as an oval. The oval is an elongated brilliant, and its softly rounded outline combines the light return of a round brilliant with a gently stretched silhouette that tends to read larger face-up for its weight. Because the facets are arranged for brilliance rather than for broad flashes, ovals suit stones where both colour and liveliness matter.
Among the ovals currently in stock you will find Mozambique Ruby, Paraiba Tourmaline, Aquamarine, Spessartite Garnet and Rubellite Tourmaline. Each behaves differently in this shape: the deeper reds of ruby and rubellite gain depth through the longer pavilion, while the lighter, more transparent tones of aquamarine and the vivid hues of Paraiba and spessartite are carried openly across the crown.
When choosing between them, weigh length-to-width ratio — a narrower oval looks more elegant on the finger, a rounder one appears fuller — alongside colour evenness across the length of the stone and the presence of any bow-tie shadow through the centre. Consider also how the outline will sit within your intended setting.
