The trend for diamond engagement rings in 2020 will be ‘Fancy’ cut diamonds. ‘Fancy’ cut means non-round shape diamonds such as Oval cut diamonds. Many celebrities, including Julianne Hough, Katharine McPhee, Kandi Buruss, Whitney Port, Teresa Palmer, Blake Lively, Hailey Bieber, and Sarah Hyland were engaged with the oval-shaped engagement ring. Oval and Pear shaped diamond rings were also widely searched rings in 2019.

Oval cut diamonds are cross between round brilliant and pear-shaped diamond but it has no sharp corners. Oval cut contains 58 facets just like a round cut which gives it excellent fire and sparkle.  Due to the fancy and elongated shape, almost all oval cut diamonds have a visible bow-tie effect. Basically, the bow-tie effect is the shadow that runs along the width of the diamond and forms a dark shape that looks like a bow-tie.

The Oval cut diamond engagement ring puts a nice touch of elegance on the finger and they can make your finger look thinner and longer, and it’s lower in price compared to a Round cut diamond of the same color, clarity and carat weight which is always a plus!
