We Can't Stop Obsessing Over These Oval Engagement Rings

When it's finally your turn to don a sparkly accessory on "that" finger, do you know what kind of ring you'll be looking for? Maybe you're a traditionalist who can't imagine anything other than a round diamond on your finger. Or maybe you'd like something a bit more avant garde. The perfect mixture of the two? An oval cut stone. 

A brilliant-cut oval stone, whether it's a diamond or a different gemstone, is close enough to a round cut to give that bridal look you're accustomed to, but it's ever so slightly unique and different, too, making it a great choice for an engagement ring.
