Oval diamonds face up larger than round brilliants of the same carat weight, elongate the finger, and sit well in almost every setting style. It’s one of the most requested shapes, modern without being trend-driven. Every oval engagement ring is designed and produced to order in our Melbourne studio. Your diamond is sourced first, based on budget, preferred carat size, and the length-to-width ratio that appeals to you: some prefer elongated, others a more classic oval shape. The setting is then designed around it. Solitaire, hidden halo, three stone, pavé, the direction is yours. Lab-grown and natural oval diamonds are both available.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a private jeweller?
A private jeweller offers a personal, one-on-one approach to fine jewellery. Rather than browsing a showroom or shopping off the shelf, you work directly with us to source your stone, refine your design, and craft a piece that feels considered and personal from start to finish.
Are your pieces made to order?
Yes. Each Fine Essence piece is made to order, crafted by our team of jewellers and stone setters. This allows you to personalise every detail, from the metal and setting style to your choice of lab-grown or natural diamond.
Our made-to-order pieces typically take 5-7 weeks from design approval to completion. If you have a special date in mind, please reach out early so we can accommodate your timeline. Learn more about our bespoke process →
Can I choose between lab-grown and natural diamonds?
You can. Our online pricing reflects lab-grown diamonds, but we also source natural diamonds on request. Both are real diamonds with the same physical and optical properties. Our team will walk you through both options so you can choose based on your preferences and budget. Read our guide to lab-grown vs natural diamonds →
Can I personalise or modify a design?
Every piece can be tailored to suit you. Whether it's adjusting the metal type, changing a setting style, or working with a different stone shape, we'll guide you through the options. For fully custom designs, our bespoke concierge service is available for a one-on-one design experience. Explore the custom design process →
What if I need help choosing?
That's what we're here for. You can reach out via DM, email, WhatsApp, or book a virtual consultation. We work with clients across Australia and internationally to help you feel confident in every detail before you order.
Are your diamonds certified?
Every diamond above 0.50ct we source is independently certified by IGI or GIA. You'll receive the certificate with your piece, and we're happy to walk you through what each specification means before you commit.
