Half Oval Shape Rings in Sterling Silver  

Why Half Oval Shape Stone Rings Flatter Every Hand

The half oval cut works with the organic structure of the stone rather than against it. Lapidaries favor this shape for materials like larimar from the Dominican Republic, where the raw nodules naturally lend themselves to elongated dome cuts. Opaque stones such as turquoise and malachite display their matrix patterns across the curved surface, while translucent gems like moonstone show stronger adularescence when cut in this profile. Sterling silver settings for half oval stones typically use bezel or prong mounts that follow the rounded contour. Bezel settings protect softer stones rated below 7 on the Mohs scale, including opal at 5.5-6.5 and larimar at 4.5-5. Prong settings allow more light into translucent materials but suit harder stones like amethyst at Mohs 7. We have stocked half oval shape rings since opening in 2005.
