Natural Oval Diamonds
An oval is a round brilliant stretched along one axis. It keeps the brilliant faceting and most of the light return, but the elongated outline covers more of the finger, so an oval reads noticeably larger than a round of the same carat weight.
Use the filters above to narrow this natural oval inventory by carat, colour, clarity and cut. Prices move with live supply, so the stone you are looking at is the stone available today, and every one is sold loose with its grading report.
Choosing a oval diamond
Look at the length to width ratio, which most buyers prefer between 1.35 and 1.50, and check for a bow-tie, the dark band across the centre that appears when the facets are cut too shallow or too deep. A bow-tie is a cutting fault, not a grading one, so it will not appear on the certificate.
Lab grown or natural oval?
Every stone on this page formed in the earth. If size matters more to you than origin, the same specification usually costs a good deal less as a lab grown oval diamond, and the two are indistinguishable by eye. Compare an identical carat, colour, clarity and cut in each before you decide.
Other shapes and the full range
If you are still deciding on outline, compare this against natural pear shaped diamonds, natural marquise diamonds, natural round brilliant diamonds. The whole natural diamond inventory lists every shape side by side with the same filters. To see natural and natural stones together along with the current specials, go to our every loose diamond we list.
Frequently asked questions
What should I look for in a oval diamond?
Look at the length to width ratio, which most buyers prefer between 1.35 and 1.50, and check for a bow-tie, the dark band across the centre that appears when the facets are cut too shallow or too deep. A bow-tie is a cutting fault, not a grading one, so it will not appear on the certificate.
How can I tell a oval diamond is a natural diamond?
Every natural diamond in this inventory carries an independent grading report from GIA, IGI, HRD, GCAL or AGS, and the report states the stone is a natural diamond. The girdle carries a laser inscription of the report number, so the certificate and the stone can always be matched to each other.
Can I have a oval diamond set into a ring?
Yes. Every natural oval diamond here is sold loose, so you choose the stone first and the setting second. Diamond Story sets loose stones into engagement rings, pendants and earrings in our Melbourne workshop, and we will advise on the setting that suits the shape you have chosen.
