Why the Oval Cut Flatters Every Natural Gemstone
The oval cut emerged in the 1960s when gem cutters sought a shape that combined round brilliance with greater visual size. An oval stone appears 10-15% larger than a round stone of equal carat weight because the cut distributes mass across a longer surface. This optical advantage makes oval pendants a practical choice for showcasing specimens of turquoise (Mohs 5-6), labradorite (Mohs 6-6.5), amethyst (Mohs 7), and harder stones like topaz (Mohs 8). Our silversmiths set each stone in .925 sterling silver, the industry standard containing 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for durability. Bezels wrap the stone's perimeter to protect softer gems during daily wear, while prong settings allow more light entry for transparent faceted stones. The collection includes specimens sourced from known deposits: Baltic amber from Poland, larimar from the Dominican Republic, and turquoise from Arizona's Sleeping Beauty mine. SilverRush Style has shipped jewelry from our US facility since 2005. Browse the full range and select a pendant that fits your chain and your budget.Why choose an oval shape over round for pendants?
Oval cuts display more surface area than rounds of equal weight. The elongated profile sits flat against the chest and catches light across a wider field, making stones appear larger without increasing material cost.
What gemstone hardness works best for oval pendants?
Stones rated Mohs 6 and above handle daily wear well. Softer gems like turquoise (Mohs 5-6) and amber (Mohs 2-2.5) remain durable in bezel settings that shield edges from impact.
Are these pendants solid sterling silver?
Yes. Every pendant uses .925 sterling silver, meaning 92.5% pure silver blended with 7.5% copper for strength. This alloy standard has defined quality silver jewelry for centuries.
