OV refers to an oval cut synthetic quartz gemstone. Ovals are versatile elliptical shapes that combine the sparkle of rounds with a unique silhouette. Their elongated outline can create the illusion of greater size. OV cutting maximizes carat weight retention while amplifying color. With their flawless clarity, OV synthetics exhibit exquisite, uninterrupted brilliance. The oval's curving sides contrast beautifully with pointed corners. OV synthetics come in many lengths, from circles to dramatic marquises. Modern OV cutting uses advanced knowledge of optics and light behavior to optimize sparkle. These precision oval gems make timeless solitaires as well as contemporary stackable designs. OV quartz communicates elegance, making it perfect for upscale fashion jewelry or engagement rings.
