An oval shoulder engagement ring refers to a specific style of engagement ring that features an oval-shaped centre stone and additional accent diamonds set along the shoulders of the band. The term shoulder in this context refers to the sides of the ring where the band meets the setting. The shoulders of the ring, which are the side portions of the band, are adorned with smaller accent diamonds. These stones are usually set in a pave or channel setting, forming a line or pattern along the sides of the band.
