Oval Diamond Ratios: Lauren B Education Shorts Episode 1

What is a ratio?
The ratio is a comparison of the length and the width on a fancy shape diamond. To achieve the ratio, you divide the millimeter length by the width. The most popular range for oval diamond ratios is from 1.3:1 to 1.5:1. While this may seem like not a big difference going from one of the spectrum to the other can greatly impact the appearance of your center-stone and ring.

Comparing 3 Ovals
Let's take a look at the 3 oval diamonds side by side in the most popular ratios.
To start we have a 1.5 carat F VS1. The measurements are 9.08 by 6.88 millimeters. If we divide the numbers we get a 1.3 ratio. When you look at this diamond you can tell it has a very full and rounded appearance to it. This is going to be considered a wider oval.
Compare that to the next diamond which is a 1.5 carat D SI1 that has a 1.5 ratio. This is a very elongated oval with a very slim appearance.
These two diamonds are on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of shape which you can see here
For an in between option we have a 1.4 carat F SI1. The measurments give us a 1.39 ratio which is easily considered to be 1.4. This is one of the more popular ratios because it is right in between; it is not too rounded and not too elongated. We find this range of 1.35-1.45 to be the most common however people are starting to gravitate more and more to the longer ratio stones.
