The Oval Brilliant cut is an asymmetrical shaped brilliant cut diamond comprised of 58 facets with a variable length to width ratio.

An excellent choice for anyone looking for a highly brilliant diamond with softer rounded edges.

Ovals are also an excellent alternate shape for fancy color diamonds given a tendency to retain high color saturation while creating a high level of brilliance.
