The oval cut has become the most talked-about engagement ring shape in the UK, and it is easy to understand why. It combines the brilliance of a round cut with an elongated silhouette that flatters every hand, makes the stone appear larger than its actual carat weight, and carries a sense of modern elegance that feels both current and enduring.
Paired with moissanite, the most brilliant lab-grown gemstone available today, the oval cut produces a ring that genuinely turns heads. Franc Laurent's oval moissanite engagement ring collection brings together five expertly crafted designs, each made to order in sterling silver with rhodium plating, D/E colour moissanite, and FL/VVS clarity stones.
Whether she prefers sleek contemporary lines, romantic handcrafted detail, or full halo glamour, there is a ring in this collection built exactly for her.
Why the Oval Cut Is the Most Flattering Shape for an Engagement Ring
The oval cut's greatest advantage is what it does on the hand. Its elongated form visually stretches the finger, creating a slimming and lengthening effect that no other cut quite replicates. It also has a larger surface area than a round stone of the same carat weight, meaning a 1 carat oval moissanite looks noticeably bigger on the finger than a 1 carat round.
This makes it one of the most value-efficient choices available, you get more visual presence for the same investment. Oval moissanite also benefits from the brilliant cut's faceting pattern, which means it delivers the same intense sparkle and rainbow fire as a round stone, just in a more distinctive silhouette.
For buyers in the UK who want a ring that looks expensive, feels personal, and wears beautifully every day, the oval cut moissanite is one of the strongest choices in the market right now.
Our Top 5 Oval Moissanite Engagement Rings from Franc Laurent
Every ring in this collection is custom made to your specifications, certified with a GRA certificate of authenticity, and delivered in a premium ring box. Each stone is D/E colour and FL/VVS clarity, the highest grades available, ensuring your ring looks exceptional from every angle and in every light.
The Oval Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring, Criss-Cross Split Shank Style is a bold, contemporary design where two intersecting bands weave across each other before meeting the centre stone. The woven split shank creates dynamic visual movement and makes this ring stand apart from anything traditional. Starting from £540, it is crafted in rhodium-plated sterling silver and suits someone with a confident, fashion-forward sense of style who wants an engagement ring that looks truly one of a kind.
The Oval Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring, Twisted Shoulder Set takes a more romantic approach. The shoulders of the band are gently twisted, adding handcrafted texture and movement that flows naturally toward the oval centre stone. It has an artisan quality that feels deeply personal, the kind of ring that looks like it was made with a specific person in mind. Also starting from £540, this design appeals to women who love jewellery with character, warmth, and organic detail.
For a cleaner but equally elegant look, the Oval Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring, Split Shank Prong Setting offers a refined split band that divides gracefully as it approaches a traditionally prong-set oval centre stone. The split shank adds structure and visual interest without overshadowing the stone, making it a strong choice for someone who appreciates modern design with a classic foundation. Starting from £450, it represents excellent value for a ring with this level of craft and detail.
The Halo Oval Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring in Tiffany Style surrounds the oval centre stone with a continuous circle of accent moissanite in an elevated Tiffany-inspired setting. The halo dramatically increases the visual size and brilliance of the ring, while the clean Tiffany silhouette keeps the overall look timeless rather than overdone. Starting from £470, this is the ring for someone who loves sparkle, appreciates iconic design, and wants a piece that looks significantly more expensive than it is.
The Halo Oval Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring, Split Shank Tiffany Style takes that halo concept one step further by combining it with a split shank band. The result is a ring that delivers maximum presence from every angle, the halo amplifies the centre stone from above while the split shank adds architectural elegance below. Starting from £480, it is the most complete and visually layered design in the oval collection, ideal for someone who wants a ring that makes a clear, confident statement.
How to Choose the Right Oval Ring for Her Style
All five rings in this collection feature the same exceptional moissanite quality, so the decision comes down entirely to design preference and personality. If she loves contemporary jewellery and wears rings that start conversations, the criss-cross split shank is the natural choice, it is unlike anything else on the market.
If she gravitates toward vintage-inspired or romantically detailed pieces, the twisted shoulder set will feel most true to her taste. For someone who prefers versatility, a ring that works equally well dressed up or down, the clean split shank prong setting strikes the perfect balance between modern and classic.
If maximum sparkle is the priority and she loves the idea of a ring that catches light from every direction, either of the two halo styles will deliver exactly that. The split shank halo adds extra dimension and complexity, while the classic halo Tiffany style keeps things bold but clean.
On carat, remember that the oval cut already looks larger than a round stone of equivalent weight, so a 1 or 2 carat oval moissanite will have impressive on-hand presence without needing to push the budget further.
