In recent years, oval diamonds have become increasingly popular with consumers, particularly oval, emerald, teardrop and other 'long' shaped diamonds, which are not only a contemporary trend but have also achieved significant success on the auction circuit. Today I would like to share with you an introduction to the Oval Cut Moissanite and advice on how to buy it.

Oval-Cut Moissanite is larger than standard round ones for the same weight. For example, a 1-carat Oval Cut Moissanite with an aspect ratio of 1.4 and a depth of 61% would measure 8 mm x 5.7 mm, whereas the typical size of an ideally cut 1-carat Oval Cut Moissanite would be 6.5 mm x 6.5 mm. The surface area of Oval Cut Moissanite is approximately 8% larger than that of round-cut moissanite of the same weight.
The color grade of Oval Cut Moissanite is the same as that of round cut and consists of 23 letters, from D to Z. D is the highest color grade and Z is the lowest, with J and above generally recommended. The choice of color grade can be combined with the band, for example, when you choose to use a white metal for your band, it is best to choose a color grade of H and above. When choosing 18-carat yellow or rose gold as a band material you can move down the color grade to I-J.
Oval-Cut Moissanite has the effect of concealing inclusions around the edges of the diamond, but the larger table size of an oval diamond can make internal flaws relatively obvious to some extent, so be aware of inclusions located on the table. When shopping for moissanite, try to choose moissanite with internal (external) flaws in the edge area, so that they can be slightly concealed by the ring when set.
The aspect ratio is an important parameter to look for when shopping for an oval diamond, it is the basis of the "face" of the oval diamond. With a small aspect ratio, Oval Cut Moissanite is rounded overall, whereas, with a large aspect ratio, it is longer overall.
According to a comprehensive survey of shape preferences conducted by the GIA in 2009, consumers and industry professionals alike prefer longer ovals, with the most popular oval aspect ratio being 1.7. The more common oval aspect ratios on the market range from 1.3 to 1.4.
The 'bow-tie effect' refers to the dark bow-shaped pattern that appears on gemstone tabletops, which may also occur in teardrop and marquise shapes. If the cut is good, the bow will be very small, but once you are in front of the moissanite, you will always see the bow in some way. Oval-Cut Moissanite is one of the cuts more prone to the 'bow effect', so when choosing Oval Cut Moissanite, choose a diamond with a less pronounced 'bow effect'.
The above is an introduction to the characteristics of Oval Cut Moissanite and advice on how to choose Oval Cut Moissanite. I look forward to your arrival very much and hope to cooperate with you.
