6 Oval Engagement Rings to Suit Any Style

There are lots of reasons to love oval shaped diamonds. But what I really want to talk about is the ring, darlings. After all, you can’t just squeeze an oval into any old round setting and call it a day. An oval diamond is kind. It is smart. It is…well, it’s the wrong quote. But you get it. Ovals are unique and deserving of a ring setting designed just for them. So let’s look at some options.

It’s your DIAMOND ring. All caps. Whether you treated yourself with a sparkly lil something because self-care or it’s a symbol of your partner’s endless devotion, that rock on your finger deserves a setting that will keep it safe and sound for, well, ever. Our favorite way to indulge our “better safe than sorry” side? A glistening bezel. Here’s why.

Like many funny sounding jewelry words, the bezel’s linguistic origins are French. A Bezel setting is a style of setting where the diamond is surrounded by a metal rim, rather than clutched by the four or six prongs you’re used to seeing in a solitaire setting. They might have old-fashioned connotations, but, for both the trendsetters and the gemsetters, the bezel is officially in vogue right now.
