Which engagement ring settings work best with oval diamonds?

Are lab-grown oval diamonds suitable for daily wear?

Yes, lab-grown oval diamonds possess identical hardness (10 on Mohs scale) to natural diamonds. Ring durability depends on setting security with reinforced end prongs rather than diamond origin.
