When it comes to elegance, brilliance, and timeless charm, few shapes rival the oval diamond. Its elongated silhouette flatters the finger while offering exceptional light reflection. But if you're looking to amplify the radiance of your engagement ring even more, oval cut engagement rings are the perfect choice. These additional diamonds not only boost the sparkle but also add depth, personality, and dimension to your overall ring design.
At KRK Jewels, we specialize in crafting oval engagement rings that merge sophistication with style—and nothing does that quite like a center oval diamond paired with exquisite side stones.
Why Choose Oval with Side Stones?
The oval diamond already offers an impressive face-up size and fire. Adding side stones takes it to the next level, enhancing brilliance from every angle while offering a balanced and refined aesthetic. Whether you opt for classic round side stones or more unique cuts like pear, baguette, or trillion, each design tells its own story.
1. Oval with Round Side Stones: Timeless Sparkle
Pairing an oval center diamond with round brilliant side stones is a classic option that never goes out of style. The round cuts complement the elongated oval without overshadowing it. This trio sparkles with symmetry and elegance, creating a traditional yet radiant appearance.
Perfect for: Brides who appreciate symmetry, classic elegance, and traditional brilliance.
2. Oval with Pear Side Stones: Graceful and Romantic
This design features an oval center flanked by pear-shaped diamonds pointing outward. The pears create a beautiful taper that enhances the finger-lengthening effect of the oval. It’s a soft, romantic look that still feels modern and bold.
Perfect for: Those who love graceful lines, romantic silhouettes, and a touch of the unexpected.
3. Oval with Baguette Side Stones: Sleek and Sophisticated
Baguette diamonds bring sleek, architectural beauty to an engagement ring. Their step-cut facets contrast beautifully with the oval’s brilliance, resulting in a refined, vintage-meets-modern effect. This combination feels luxurious and clean.
Perfect for: Brides with a love for Art Deco styling, minimalist luxury, and geometric precision.
4. Oval with Trillion Side Stones: Modern Boldness
Trillion-cut side stones, with their triangular shape, create a striking contrast with an oval center. They offer an angular flair that feels fresh and fashion-forward, while still maintaining balance and brilliance.
Perfect for: Brides who want a bold, edgy design without compromising on sparkle.
5. Oval with Colored Gem Side Stones: A Touch of Personality
For a pop of color and added symbolism, some brides are opting for sapphires, emeralds, or rubies as side stones. This not only creates visual interest but adds meaning and individuality to the ring.
Perfect for: Non-traditional brides who love color, personalization, and symbolic storytelling.
Design Tips for Choosing the Right Side Stones
-
Keep proportions in mind: The side stones should enhance—not compete with—the center oval.
-
Match clarity and color: For a seamless look, choose side stones that closely match the oval’s color and clarity grades.
-
Consider the setting: A three-stone design can be set in prongs, bezels, or halos. The right setting can dramatically affect how the ring catches light and wears on the hand.
At KRK Jewels, our artisans ensure each side stone is hand-selected to complement the center diamond perfectly, creating a harmonious and dazzling whole.
