How to Get the Best Light Performance from an Oval Diamond Oval diamonds captivate with their elegant shape and brilliant sparkle. However, like all diamonds, their beauty depends heavily on how well they handle and reflect light. Light performance — how a diamond interacts with light through reflection, refraction, and dispersion — is key to maximizing an oval diamond’s fire, brilliance, and scintillation. Here’s how to ensure your oval diamond shines at its absolute best. * Choose an Ideal Cut The cut quality of an oval diamond dramatically affects its light performance. Unlike carat weight or color, cut directly controls how light travels inside the diamond and returns to the eye. For ovals, look for: Length-to-Width Ratio: The ideal ratio is typically between 1.35 and 1.50. Ratios below 1.35 can look too round, while ratios above 1.50 appear elongated. The right proportion balances beauty and brilliance. Symmetry: Perfect or excellent symmetry ensures that the facets are aligne
