Oval Engagement Rings in Atlanta — Custom Oval Diamond Rings
Oval engagement rings give you the fire and brilliance of a round diamond in an elongated shape that flatters the finger and looks larger for its carat weight. It's the shape Atlanta couples ask us for most among the fancy cuts — timeless, but with a modern edge. At Farsi Jewelers in Sandy Springs, every oval ring is designed and built for you from scratch, so the proportions, setting, and stone are exactly right.
Why couples choose an oval
- Looks larger per carat — an oval's elongated outline carries more surface area than a round of the same weight, so it reads bigger on the hand.
- Elongates the finger — the long axis is naturally slimming and flattering.
- Round-level sparkle — ovals are a brilliant cut, so they carry nearly the same fire as a classic round.
- Endlessly versatile — ovals suit almost any setting, from a clean solitaire to a hidden halo or a three-stone.
- Timeless, not trendy — a classic silhouette that won't feel dated.
Popular oval settings we design
Because we build every ring custom, your oval can be set however you love it:
- Solitaire — a single oval on a clean band; the setting disappears and the stone is everything.
- Hidden halo — a ring of small diamonds tucked under the oval, adding sparkle only you can see from the side.
- Classic halo — a visible halo that frames the oval and boosts its apparent size.
- Three-stone — an oval center flanked by two side stones, symbolizing past, present, and future.
- East-west — the oval set sideways for a modern, unexpected look. See our asymmetrical & east-west designs.
- Pavé or hidden-diamond bands — a shimmer of small diamonds along the shank.
Designed and built at Farsi — the 3D Bespoke Method
You don't pick an oval ring off a tray here. We design it with you using our 3D Bespoke Method: we talk through style and budget, choose your oval with a GIA Graduate Gemologist, then show you a photorealistic 3D preview and a printed model before we ever set the stone — so there are no surprises. Custom engagement rings have been our specialty in Sandy Springs since 1998, and most designs are finished in about 2–4 weeks (complex pieces up to 6). We work with every budget — there's no minimum.
Your oval can be a certified lab-grown diamond (more size for your budget) or a certified natural diamond — every center stone comes with a GIA report. Prefer color? Ovals are stunning in sapphire and other gemstones, too. You can also bring your own stone or reimagine an heirloom into a new oval design.
Oval Engagement Ring FAQs
Do oval diamonds look bigger than round diamonds?
Yes — for the same carat weight, an oval's elongated shape spreads across more of the finger, so it typically looks larger than a round. It's one of the main reasons couples choose it.
What is the "bowtie" effect on an oval?
Every oval has a faint dark area across the center called a bowtie, caused by how light travels through the elongated shape. A slight one is normal; a heavy one dulls the stone. Because we hand-select each oval with a GIA Graduate Gemologist, we steer you toward stones with a minimal bowtie and lively sparkle — something photos online can't show you.
Should I choose lab-grown or natural for an oval?
Both are real diamonds with identical sparkle and hardness, and both come GIA-certified. A lab-grown oval lets you go larger or higher-quality for the same budget; a natural oval carries the appeal of a stone formed in the earth. We'll show you both side by side in the showroom.
What setting looks best with an oval?
Ovals are remarkably flexible. Solitaires and hidden halos keep the focus on the stone, classic halos maximize size, and three-stone or east-west designs add character. We'll match the setting to your hand, lifestyle, and taste during the design.
How much does a custom oval engagement ring cost?
Custom oval rings at Farsi typically start around $2,500, with simpler designs from about $1,000, and no upper limit — the same setting can hold a modest stone or a significant one. Pricing depends on the diamond and the design, and we work with every budget. Custom orders are paid in full up front, with flexible financing available.
Can I use my own diamond or redesign an heirloom into an oval?
Absolutely. We regularly reset a customer's own stone into a new oval design or reimagine an heirloom into something they'll actually wear. Bring it in and we'll show you the options.
