3 carat diamond oval engagement rings

The purchase of 3-carat engagement rings is typically associated with those seeking a luxurious and extravagant option. In other words, while traditionally a symbol of love and commitment, a 3-carat engagement ring is not just a statement piece, but also an emotional and prestigious purchase that is significantly larger than the average ring. The cut of the diamond is crucial, as it influences how well the diamond reflects light and sparkles. A well-cut 3-carat diamond will exhibit brilliance and fire, enhancing its overall beauty. For example, common cuts include round, princess, emerald, and cushion. The colour of a 3-carat diamond is graded on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). The choice depends on personal preference and budget, but colourless or near-colourless diamonds (D to G) are often preferred for 3-carat engagement rings as they appear more brilliant. Popular clarity grades for engagement rings also include VS (very slightly included) and SI (slightly included). One thing that plays a significant role when picking a 3-carat diamond ring is the setting. The preferred options are, typically, a solitaire setting to emphasise the diamond's size and a halo setting, where smaller diamonds surround the centre stone.

Engagement Rings Oval 3 Carat FAQs

Are oval engagement rings popular & trendy?

In recent years, oval engagement rings have seen a huge rise in popularity. This could partly be because of the number of celebrities seen sporting this stone shape, such as Kourtney Kardashian, Blake Lively, Serena Williams and Ariana Grande. Royals such as Princess Diana have also sported oval engagement rings.

While the shape is currently trending, it has actually been popular for centuries. In the 1950s, oval engagement rings were popularised because their stones had the ability to look larger than an emerald-cut gemstone, but with a lower price tag. Today, this remains a popular reason to choose an oval engagement ring, along with the fact that it can make the fingers seem longer, and that its lack of sharp angles can make it less prone to chipping than other cuts.

What wedding band goes with oval engagement ring?

Oval engagement rings pair well with a number of wedding band styles. For a well-matched look, you could consider pairing an oval engagement ring with a single-prong wedding band that also features oval stones.

Consider a chevron-style or contoured wedding band, as this will ensure that your oval stone is nicely framed and that the two rings fit together snugly. Twisted wedding bands also work well with a large oval stone, or, if you have an engagement band with an oval stone that's set in prongs and sits high above the finger, consider a simple, thin band that can sit beneath the stone and keep the focus firmly on the oval gemstone of your engagement ring.

How much are oval engagement rings?

The price of an oval engagement ring will vary depending on the size, type and quality of the stone, as well as the properties of the setting, including the type of metal that is used. At Abelini, our oval engagement rings start at around £118, rising to over £20,000.
