The two long sides of an oval need to mirror each other closely, curve for curve, or the entire stone can look subtly off-balance. This kind of symmetry is easy to overlook at a glance but becomes obvious once you know to check for it under closer light or magnification, particularly along the widest point of the stone.
Our featured stone here is a 0.32-carat, IGI-certified, Ideal cut, G color, VVS2 clarity oval, priced around $150. Clarity and cut both weigh heavily on price in this category, largely because the shape’s open facets make both easy to judge at a glance rather than requiring a loupe or special tools to inspect closely.
At VVS2, you’re looking at a stone that reads completely clean without magnification, which suits a shape known for putting its facets on full display. Symmetry grading deserves just as much scrutiny as clarity here, since even a slightly uneven cut becomes noticeable on a stone this elongated, especially in bright, direct light or under close inspection at close range.
An oval’s rounded silhouette has no exposed corners to worry about, which makes it a fairly low-maintenance choice for setting. A trellis mount raises the stone for extra light, while a bezel wraps the edge for a sleeker, lower-profile look that suits daily wear and active routines around the clock.
