Oval-cut diamonds combine the sparkle of the round brilliant cut with the elongated shape of a marquise. Developed in the 1950s, oval-cut diamonds are a modern hybrid of other stunning shapes. Here are our favorite oval-cut diamonds worn by celebrities.
Is this the most beautiful couple of all time? Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds married on September 9, 2012. Blake wears a stunning rose gold oval cut engagement ring by Lorraine Schwartz. With a light pink tone that’s accented by the romantic golden metal, it looks stunning paired with a thin micropavé wedding band.
Amber Rose married rapper Wiz Khalifa in 2013, although they eventually parted ways three years later. Amber’s engagement ring featured a 10-carat oval cut diamond in a clean, classic solitaire style. It’s a beautiful diamond that doesn’t need any embellishment to shine.
Even though Katie and Tom have since parted ways, we were really impressed with his pick for her engagement ring. A 5-carat oval cut diamond ring by Fred Leighton featured six additional carats of diamonds in the halo and band. A split shank gave the ring a stunning vintage look.
While we’re still slightly miffed that Orlando Bloom never proposed to us, we have to acknowledge that the ring he gave to Miranda Kerr is a real winner. Its distinctive floral design includes approximately 4 carats of round-cut diamonds creating an oval shape in a dazzling arrangement.
While not strictly the modern oval cut, we couldn’t help but include Jennifer Aniston’s engagement ring. It’s just too beautiful to ignore! A 10-carat antique rose cut, which sits flat to the finger, this shape has no pavilion. It is extremely rare to see a rose-cut engagement ring these days, so kudos to Justin for knowing what would stand out to his A-list fiancé at the time. The couple was married for three years before calling it quits.
Hailey Bieber's solitaire engagement ring is hard to miss. The oval-cut diamond is estimated to be between 6 to 10 carats and rests on a simple yellow gold band, the model's favorite metal for jewelry. Her ring may have been inspired by Blake Lively's ring - the model retweeted in 2012, "If my ring isn't as big as Blake Lively's, I don't want to get married." Same girl, same.
Did you know model Jasmine Tookes' engagement ring is from Ritani? The stunning solitaire engagement ring in yellow gold features a 7-carat oval-cut diamond. Tookes became engaged to Juan David Borrero, a Snapchat executive, in 2020, and the two tied in the knot in Ecuador in 2021. Their wedding was nothing short of spectacular.
Travis Barker orchestrated a romantic beachfront proposal for Kourtney Kardashian, presenting her with an estimated 10 to 12-carat oval-cut diamond engagement ring. The dreamy ring features a hidden halo and a dainty pavé diamond band. The couple reportedly plan to wed in spring 2022!
The world-renowned Olympic gymnast became engaged to Houston Texans safety Jonathan Owens on Valentine's Day 2022. The extremely high-quality oval-cut center stone is a 3-carat, F color, VVS2 clarity diamond according to the jeweler, ZoFrost, who crafted it. The setting that Owens selected is a three-row pavé setting, which lines diamonds on the top and sides of the ring to create sparkle at all angles.
Other celebrities with oval-cut engagement rings include Kandi Buruss, Whitney Port, and Teresa Palmer. Kandi Buruss' engagement ring actually features smaller diamonds that appear as one oval-cut diamond, a type of cluster diamond ring.
