Oval diamond rings are one of the most sought-after choices for engagement and wedding jewellery in South Africa, renowned for their elegance and ability to appear larger than other diamond shapes of similar carat weight[1]. The popularity of the oval brilliant cut—featuring 57 facets for maximum brilliance—is surging across the country, making it the most fashionable fancy-cut diamond among South African jewellers[3].
Leading South African jewellers, such as Cape Diamonds, Katannuta Diamonds, and Prins & Prins, offer bespoke oval diamond rings in a variety of styles, including solitaire, hidden halo, cat-claw, pavé, and vintage designs[1][4][5]. Clients can choose from classic platinum or white gold bands, or opt for unique features like double halos and split shanks[5]. These rings are handcrafted locally, reflecting Cape Town’s artistic flair and the nation’s commitment to quality and authenticity[1][4].
Bespoke jewellers in South Africa provide personalised service, allowing clients to select their preferred diamond specifications (such as carat, colour, and clarity) and customise every detail of the ring[2][4]. Most jewelers use only certified natural diamonds graded by leading international laboratories, ensuring quality and peace of mind[4].
In terms of pricing, the cost of an oval diamond ring in South Africa fluctuates based on diamond size, quality, currency exchange rates, and the desired setting[3]. For example, a 1.07ct oval cut E colour, VVS1 clarity diamond can cost about R130,000, while larger or differing qualities affect the price accordingly[3]. Many jewellers offer wholesale pricing and a variety of options to meet different budgets, both online and in store[2][7].
Styles available include:
- Classic solitaire oval diamond rings
- Halo and hidden halo designs
- Three-stone and trilogy rings
- Vintage-inspired and pavé settings
Online platforms and local boutiques allow customers to view collections, consult on custom designs, and order rings with convenience and confidence[2][7].
