What Is a Moval Diamond? The Hybrid Cut our clients are requesting

Elongated diamond shapes are having a major moment for engagement ring styles in Melbourne. Amidst the popularity of Ovals and Marquise cuts, there's a lesser known shape quietly making waves, the Moval Cut diamond.  A longer, leaner diamond shape that’s quietly captivating brides-to-be. With the soft curves of an oval and the elongated form of a marquise, the Moval cut is redefining what it means to own a truly distinctive engagement ring.

If you’ve been searching for a diamond shape that embraces individuality - the Moval cut diamond might just be your perfect match. Let’s uncover the beauty behind this uniquely romantic shape below.

A hybrid of Marquise and Oval cut

The name "Moval" is a clever combination of the words marquise + oval and that’s exactly what this hybrid shape represents. Think of it as the best of both worlds: the elongated refined shape of a marquise diamond softened to retain the gentle curves and flattering symmetry of an oval.

Unlike its inspired shapes, a Moval diamond offers a narrower and slightly more elongated silhouette than an oval, but without the dramatic tapering and pointed ends of the marquise. The result is an elongated shape that feels feminine, soft, and effortlessly graceful on the finger.

Why Choose a Moval Diamond?

There’s something quietly luxurious about choosing a diamond shape that feels both familiar yet rare. The Moval diamond is not a mainstream cut and that’s part of its charm. Here’s why more couples are falling for this refined silhouette:

1. Unique Yet Elegant

Moval diamonds feel special without being loud. They’re perfect for those who want something unconventional but still rooted in classic beauty.

2. Finger-Flattering Elegance

The elongated shape of a Moval diamond creates the illusion of longer, slimmer fingers, a flattering feature similar to oval and marquise cuts, but with a newer and unexpected shape.

What should I look for in a Moval Diamond Cut?

Unlike standard diamond shapes that follow traditional facet structures, Moval diamonds are custom-cut, often starting from rough stones intended for ovals or marquises. This makes every Moval diamond slightly unique, with subtle variations in width, length, and angle of facets depending on the cutter’s expertise and vision.

A typical Moval diamond features:

• Softly rounded sides

• A length-to-width ratio that usually falls between 1.6 and 2.0

• Brilliant-style faceting for maximum sparkle

Because Moval diamonds aren’t cut to standardised proportions, it’s essential to choose one with expert guidance, especially when it comes to finding ideal symmetry and a diamond without the bowtie effect.

Moval Diamonds vs. Oval and Marquise: What’s the Difference?

Moval offers the soft femininity of an oval with just a touch of the marquise’s drama without the sharp edges. It’s a shape that feels slim, elevated, yet approachable.

Is a Moval Diamond Right for You?

If you’re drawn to elongated aesthetics but crave something more unique than a traditional oval brilliant cut, the Moval diamond could be your perfect match. It’s for those who appreciate subtlety, sophistication, and a little story behind the sparkle.

When you’re designing a custom engagement ring a Moval diamond makes a stunning, conversation-worthy choice. And because it’s still under-the-radar, you can be confident your ring won’t look like anyone else’s.

Final Thoughts

The Moval diamond is proof that innovation and elegance can coexist. As modern couples seek out rings that reflect their personalities, this graceful shape offers a fresh take on tradition, one that whispers, rather than shouts, its uniqueness.
