How to Choose the Best 1 Carat Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond
Choose an Attractive Length-to-Width Ratio
Most buyers prefer a length-to-width ratio between 1.35 and 1.50 for a balanced and elegant oval shape. The ideal ratio depends on whether you prefer a slightly rounder or more elongated appearance.
Minimise the Bow-Tie Effect
Some oval diamonds display a subtle bow-tie shadow across the centre. A well-cut oval minimises this effect and maximises brilliance and light performance.
Select Color and Clarity Carefully
E–F color and VS1–VS2 clarity provide an excellent combination of brilliance, eye-clean beauty, and overall value for most buyers.
Always Choose IGI Certified Diamonds
An IGI grading report independently verifies your diamond's carat weight, color, clarity, proportions, and other important quality characteristics.
