Oval Diamond Engagement Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

Good question, since these grades decide a lot. The 0.70ct is the weight of the oval centre diamond, a lovely, elegant size that looks generous thanks to the elongated shape. D colour is the very top of the colour scale, the whitest a diamond can be, with no tint whatsoever, which is rare and highly prized. VS1 stands for very slightly included, high on the clarity scale, meaning any natural features are so tiny they are invisible to the naked eye and hard to spot even under magnification. So this is an exceptionally white, clean, and beautiful diamond, framed by a sparkling pavé band.

It means the centre diamond comes with an independent quality report from the Gemological Institute of America, the world’s most trusted and respected diamond laboratory. GIA examines the stone and documents its carat, cut, colour, and clarity, so you are not just taking our word for its quality, you have it confirmed in writing by the leading independent authority. So a GIA certificate gives you complete peace of mind and proves exactly what you are buying, which also helps with insurance and future valuation. We provide the certificate with your ring, so you know your 0.70ct D VS1 diamond is precisely as described.

Yes, the centre diamond and the pavé stones are all genuine, natural diamonds, formed deep in the earth over billions of years. A natural diamond carries that sense of rarity, history, and permanence that so many people love in an engagement ring, and it generally holds its value well over time. The GIA certificate confirms the centre stone is a natural diamond of exactly the grade described. So you can propose with complete confidence, knowing the diamond is genuine, rare, and beautifully graded. Prefer lab grown for more size within a budget? We offer those too, and are happy to talk you through the difference.

The oval is one of the most loved shapes, and for good reason. It is a brilliant cut, so it sparkles intensely like a round diamond, yet its elongated shape spreads the stone wider, which makes it look larger than its carat weight. So you get more presence on the finger for your money. The long shape also flatters the hand, gently lengthening and slimming the finger. On top of that, the oval feels both classic and current, a timeless choice that still looks fresh. So if you want maximum sparkle, a flattering shape, and lasting style, the oval delivers all three.

Yes to both. While this ring features a 0.70ct oval, we can source a larger or smaller diamond, adjust the grade to suit your budget, or craft it in white or rose gold instead. Prefer a plain band or a different setting? Just ask, since we make jewellery in house. As for sizing a surprise, the easiest trick is to quietly borrow a ring she already wears and bring it in, or ask a close friend. If you are unsure, do not stress, since most rings can be resized after the proposal. So you can pop the question with confidence, then perfect the fit later.
