Fun Fact: Oval diamonds often appear larger than other cuts of the same carat weight because of their unique shape.

They typically have a larger table area, which allows more light to enter the diamond, resulting in a more brilliant and dazzling appearance.
Lazare Kaplan and His Pet Oval Diamond
We're kidding about the pet part, but he really did create the oval cut!
The oval diamond cut, as we know it today, was popularized in the mid-20th century. While oval-shaped stones have been used in jewelry for centuries, the modern oval cut, with its specific proportions and facets designed to maximize brilliance, was introduced by the renowned diamond cutter Lazare Kaplan in the 1950s. His innovation transformed the oval diamond from a less common shape to a sought-after and iconic choice for engagement rings.
Why Choose Oval Engagement Rings?

Care and Maintenance for Oval Engagement Rings
Cleaning Tips
- Regular Professional Cleaning: We understand life gets busy and you may not be able to bring your ring in veyr often to have it professionally cleaned. But if you have the ability to bring your oval engagement ring in, we recommend at least twice a year to have your prongs checked. Bonus points if you can come in more often than that.
- Use A Jewelry Cleaner: At Beyond Two Rings we pride ourselves in our ability to shine your jewelry up like when you first received it. Though it's best to get your jewelry cleaned in-store, we find that our jewelry cleaner does a close enough job to bring similar results. After soaking in the foam solution use the silken brush to clean out grime and dirt. It's important to keep your oval diamond clean as lotions, body oils, and dirt can loosen your stone and stop it from shining as bright.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: If you can't use a jewelry cleaner. Steer clear of harsh chemicals like chlorine, ammonia, and even some household cleaners, as they can damage the metal and stones. We'd recommend warm water and dish soap in a pinch.
Storage Recommendations
- Soft Pouch or Jewelry Box: Store your ring in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches and protect the setting.
- Separate Compartments: If storing multiple pieces of jewelry, use a box with separate compartments to avoid them rubbing against each other.
-
Clean Before Storing: Regular cleanings can help prevent stones from loosing due to build up. Clearing out those lotions and oils will not only allow your ring to sparkle brighter, but will also keep your stones secure over the long run.
Professional Engagement Ring Maintenance
- Regular Inspections: Have your ring professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year. A jeweler can check for loose stones, worn settings, or any signs of damage.
- Cleaning and Polishing: Professional cleaning can restore your ring's luster and remove any built-up residue.
- Re-tipping or Setting: If your ring has loose stones or a damaged setting, a jeweler can repair it to ensure its longevity.
- Insurance: Consider insuring your ring to protect against loss or damage.
