Oval Cut

Read Description Close Description

Oval is the most-requested engagement ring cut in Australia in 2026 — and it has been for three years running. The elongated shape flatters every finger, makes the centre stone look 10–15% larger than a round of the same carat weight, and works in almost every setting style: solitaire, hidden halo, pavé, trilogy, side-stone, vintage. This collection brings together 61 oval designs in moissanite, lab-grown diamond and natural diamond.

61 oval designs from AU$1,650

The classic 1ct oval solitaire starts at AU$1,650 in 9K solid gold. From there you can step up to the half-pavé band (AU$1,750), hidden halo (AU$1,750), or trio-accent and pear-accent variants (AU$1,950). Cathedral and trilogy oval designs sit around AU$1,950–$2,150. At the higher end, oval side-stone designs run to AU$4,150. Every oval design is also available with a natural or lab-grown diamond centre stone — see the diamond rings collection for diamond pricing, which typically runs AU$700–$1,200 above the equivalent moissanite.

Oval cut engagement ring FAQ

Why is oval the most popular engagement ring cut in Australia?
Oval cuts elongate the finger, look 10–15% larger than rounds of the same carat weight, are less prone to chipping than pear or marquise (no sharp points), and work across almost every setting style — solitaire, halo, hidden halo, pavé, trilogy, vintage.

Does an oval moissanite have a "bowtie" effect?
All oval cuts (moissanite and diamond) show a small dark bowtie pattern through the centre — it's a function of the cut, not the stone. We hand-select stones with minimal bowtie. Premium grade moissanites and well-cut diamonds both show much less visible bowtie than budget alternatives.

What carat oval should I choose?
The standard 1ct (5x7mm) suits a finger size 5–7. If she wears a size 7+ or wants more presence on the finger, step up to 1.5ct (5x8mm) or 2ct (6x8mm). Use our ring builder or visit our Melbourne showroom to compare carat sizes side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moissanite Engagement Rings

Q1: What is the difference between moissanite and a real diamond?

A: Moissanite is a lab-grown gemstone with brilliance, fire, and clarity that rivals a natural diamond. Side by side, most people cannot tell them apart visually. Three differences worth knowing: moissanite throws slightly more fire (rainbow flashes) than a diamond because of its higher refractive index; it scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale (a natural diamond is 10); and it costs around 10% of an equivalent-size diamond. Every moissanite we set is lab-grown, conflict-free, and traceable.

Q2: Will my moissanite engagement ring look like a real diamond?

A: Yes. Today's moissanite is engineered to be near-colourless and exceptionally clear, and to the naked eye it is virtually indistinguishable from a diamond. Even jewellers usually need specialised testing equipment to tell them apart. The most obvious difference is actually MORE sparkle — moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, so it can throw slightly more colourful flashes in bright light. Most people who notice the difference do so because the ring sparkles more, not less.

Q3: Can I customise the metal, stone size, or setting?

A: Yes — almost every ring in our collection can be customised. Choose 9k, 14k, or 18k gold (white, yellow, or rose), or platinum. Centre stones range from 1ct to 8ct as standard, with larger sizes available on request. Settings include solitaire, bezel, halo, hidden halo, three-stone, and accent-stone designs. For fully bespoke work, book a free consultation at our Melbourne studio in Southbank or via video call. Custom-made rings take 4 to 6 weeks to complete.

Q4: Is moissanite durable enough for everyday wear?

A: Absolutely. Moissanite scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale — second only to diamond (10) — which makes it one of the hardest gemstones you can wear every day. It resists scratching, chipping, and clouding, and unlike many gemstones it will not lose its brilliance over time. Every ring we make comes with a lifetime warranty on the centre stone, so if anything ever happens we will repair or replace it.

Q5: How do I care for my moissanite engagement ring?

A: Caring for moissanite is straightforward. Clean it once a week with warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush, then dry with a lint-free cloth — this keeps it as brilliant as the day you collected it. Avoid wearing your ring during heavy gym sessions, swimming in chlorinated pools, or when using harsh chemicals (gardening or cleaning). Bring it in for a free professional clean and inspection every 6 to 12 months — included in our lifetime warranty.
