Step into a world of timeless elegance and captivating beauty as we delve into the enchanting realm of oval-cut diamonds. Read what our experts have gathered so you can make the best decision when purchasing your oval cut diamond.

Origin & Popularity of the Oval Cut

Oval cut diamonds trace their roots back to the late 1950s when diamond cutters sought to create a new shape that would combine the brilliance of round diamonds with a more long elongated silhouette. This innovative cut quickly gained popularity due to its unique appeal. The elongated shape of oval cut diamonds adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any piece of jewelry, making them highly sought after by discerning customers.

Maximizing Carat Weight:

A notable advantage of oval diamonds is their ability to make the carat weight appear larger than other cuts of the same carat weight. The elongated shape of a oval allows for a greeted spread of the diamond across the finger, creating an illusion of a larger stone. This makes oval cut diamonds an ideal choice for those looking to maximize the visual impact of their diamond without compromising size or budget.

Color and Clarity of Oval Diamonds:

When it comes to diamonds, it is essential to consider the color and clarity in finding the perfect stone. A diamond’s color grading ranges from D (colorless) to Z(light yellow or brown). For oval diamonds, we recommend aiming for a color grade between D and I, as these grades provide a balance between a bright white appearance and affordability.

Similarly, we dertimine the clarity of an oval cut diamond by assessing the presence of internal flaws or inclusions. The clarity scale ranges from Flawless(no inclusions visible under magnification) to Included (inclusions visible to the naked eye). It’s recommended to choose a diamond with a clarity grade of SI1(slightly included) or better.

Ultimately, the color and clarity of an oval cut diamond are subjective choices based upon personal preferences and budget. It’s important to work closely with a trusted jeweler, such as Diamond and Gold Warehouse. We understand the color and clarity options available and make an informed decision that aligns with your wants and budget.

When choosing your diamond, it’s important to consider all four Cs – cut, color, clarity, and carat, to guarantee you are getting most out of your purchase.

Versatility in Ring Styles:

Protect Your Purchase:

Once you are done making your purchase and are off enjoying your beautiful stone you may think you are all done, but you aren’t. The next step is to protect your investment.

How can I protect my diamond? As soon as you have your stone in your possession you should go ahead and get it insured. You buy a house, then you insure it. You buy a car, then you insure it. Basically you should be doing the same with a diamond ring.

Another way you can protect your purchase is to get your jewelry cleaned. Over time prongs will get snatched on fabric and dirt will get under the baskets, causing them to look discolored and risk the chance of your stone falling out.

Diamond and Gold Warehouse encourages you to bring in your diamond ring at least twice a year to be cleaned, which can help with the longevity of your jewelry. We not only polish your jewels but we also will check the prongs to ensure the security of your diamonds.

At Diamond and Gold Warehouse we have an on-site jeweler, meaning we will never ship off your stone or ring like other jewelry stores in Dallas. Your items never leave our Dallas Jewelry Store, ensuring you a timely manner as well as ensuring your items will be protected within our possession.
