Oval Shape Jewelry in Sterling Silver  

Why Oval Cut Stones Flatter Every Hand and Neckline

The oval cut holds 56 to 58 facets in most configurations, similar to the round brilliant but distributed across an elongated surface. This means comparable sparkle with roughly 10% more face-up area than a round stone of equal carat weight. For cabochon-cut stones like turquoise, larimar, or moonstone, the oval shape follows the natural formation patterns found in raw material, reducing waste during cutting and preserving more of the original stone. At SilverRush Style, we mount oval gemstones in settings designed to protect their proportions. Bezel settings wrap the stone's perimeter, securing softer gems like larimar (Mohs 4.5-5) against daily wear. Prong settings allow more light into harder stones like topaz (Mohs 8), amplifying their natural brilliance. Each piece uses .925 sterling silver, alloyed with copper for durability without sacrificing the bright white finish that complements colored gemstones. We source stones from verified mines and cutting facilities, working with suppliers we have known since opening in 2005. Whether you prefer a bold cocktail ring or a subtle pendant, the oval shape delivers classic geometry that fits both casual and formal settings.
