Oval Diamond RatiosUpdated 2 months ago

Diamond ratios are calculated by dividing the length of the diamond by the width. For example, if the diamond length is 10.5mm and the width is 8mm, the oval diamond ratio will be 1.3. 

A low ratio equates to a wider, plumper oval, and a higher ratio reveals a narrower, elongated shape. For oval-cut diamonds a ratio between 1.30 and 1.50 is commonly considered ideal, but personal preference plays a significant role.  

The dimensions of a diamond can be found on the diamond certificate. They are listed as length x width x depth.
