If you are someone who is planning to propose and is on the quest to explore new engagement ring styles, but still wants to stay within your budget, this blog is definitely for you!
We are very well aware of the fact that shopping for diamond jewelry can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. If you have been browsing trending oval engagement rings lately, the chances are high that you have wondered if you can actually find a high-quality oval engagement ring under $3000.
Choosing an engagement ring is emotional, meaningful, and yes, financial too. But the good news is that you can find some of the best oval engagement rings under 3000.
With that being said, let’s break it all down simply and honestly.
Oval diamonds offer an incredible visual presence without the premium price tag. The elongated shape of this stone maximizes the surface area, which means you get a larger-looking diamond for the same budget. But here are some of our favorite reasons why you should get one:
Oval diamonds create a flattering and slimming effect on your finger, which simply means your fingers will look longer with an elegant silhouette.

Because of their elongated shape, oval-cut diamonds look bigger than round-cut diamonds of the same carat weight.
The oval-cut diamonds blend in the classic brilliance of round-cut diamonds with the shape of marquise-cut diamonds. That makes it a perfect mix of a design that is both minimalist and a statement.
Setting a realistic budget makes engagement ring shopping far easier and more enjoyable. Here is what you can expect in terms of the size of the diamond when you go with the budget of $3000.
Depending on the 4 C’s of the diamond that are cut, color, clarity, and carat, you can go with a diamond that sits anywhere between 0.50 carat to 3 carats, within your selected budget.
Here is an industry secret that no one would really tell you about. When you are selecting a diamond for your engagement ring, rather than going for an ideal cut grade diamond, go for an excellent cut diamond that will help you get a larger carat with great proportions.
At Friendly Diamonds, we believe that there is no shortage of stunning engagement rings that look luxurious without stretching your budget. With that being said, here are some of our preset ring styles that you can look at:
There are some ring styles that scream everlasting beauty, and solitaire engagement rings are the best example of it. A solitaire ring style lets the diamond be the center of attention with a clean and minimal setting. You can go with a setting like the Six Prong Solitaire 2mm Lab Diamond Ring with a 3 carat oval cut diamond for your ring.
Halo engagement rings add a frame of sorts around the central diamond, creating some extra sparkle with a visually appealing drama. You can go with a ring like the Lumina Halo Lab Diamond Eternity Ring, with an extra accent diamond on the ring shank that will surely turn heads every time you wear it.
