Thanks to its classic, elongated shape, an oval engagement ring can accommodate a wide variety of curved wedding band styles and designs.
A contoured wedding band for an oval engagement ring can ensure a perfect match, fitting snugly around the gemstone and echoing its curves, sometimes featuring diamonds. A chevron band can also create a crown-like effect, offering a contemporary take on a wedding band with its inverted V-shape, while still feeling regal.
Minimalist wedding bands for an oval engagement ring are timeless yet understated, offering balance while letting your gemstone take centre stage. Channel or pavé wedding bands, meanwhile, provide a beautiful sparkle, as can a row of round or emerald cut diamonds, creating a truly classic look.
When choosing the right curved or contoured wedding band, consider stone size and design, as well as the overall aesthetic of your ring. Ornate contour or chevron rings can beautifully frame a larger gemstone, while a smaller oval can benefit from a minimalist band or multi-stone ring, enhancing its sparkle. Also consider the way your rings fit side-by-side, and avoid choosing a diamond wedding band that could rub against your engagement ring setting.

Even your choice of precious metal can make a big impact. White gold can accentuate a diamond’s glacial beauty, making it appear brighter. While precious metals like rose gold and yellow gold rings have a classical elegance that contrast beautifully with a white diamond.
