Oval Shape Necklaces in Sterling Silver
Oval shape necklaces show more surface area than round cuts of equal carat weight, which means your stone catches light across a broader plane.

The elongated silhouette sits flat against the chest and works with both open necklines and layered chains.

Why the Oval Cut Works for Natural Gemstones
The oval cut dates to the 1960s when diamond cutter Lazare Kaplan developed it as a variation on the brilliant round. Gem cutters favor this shape for colored stones because it preserves more rough material than round cuts while maintaining 58 facets for light return. Softer gems like turquoise or larimar benefit from the curved edges, which reduce chip risk compared to angular shapes like emerald or marquise cuts. Our oval necklaces feature stones from specific sources: Baltic amber from Poland and Lithuania, larimar from the Dominican Republic, turquoise from Arizona and Nevada mines. We verify Mohs hardness ratings so you know what care each stone requires. Amber sits at 2-2.5, larimar at 4.5-5, and turquoise at 5-6 on the scale. SilverRush Style has sold natural stone jewelry since 2005. Every setting uses .925 sterling silver, and we photograph actual inventory rather than stock images.

Oval cuts have no sharp corners, which reduces the chance of chipping along edges. This makes the shape practical for softer stones that might fracture in pointed settings like pear or marquise cuts.
What chain lengths work with oval pendants?
Most oval pendants sit well on 18-inch chains for a mid-chest position. Larger stones balance better on 20-inch or longer chains that allow the pendant to rest below the collarbone.
How should I care for sterling silver oval necklaces?
Store pieces in anti-tarnish pouches and clean with a soft polishing cloth. Avoid exposing softer stones like amber or larimar to household chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight.
