Head to head · shape
Both feel romantic. Oval is the modern-classic that flatters almost every finger; cushion is the pillowy vintage cousin that feels a little sleepier and a lot dreamier.

|---|---|---|
| Face-up look | Long, sleek, brilliant | Soft square, candlelit sparkle |
| Finger coverage at 1ct | ~8.2 × 5.9 mm | ~5.9 × 5.9 mm |
