There are a few different types of cuts that work well for oval faces. One popular option is a layered cut, which can help to add volume and texture. Another option is a chin-length bob, which can help to frame the face.
Whatever cut you choose, make sure to ask your stylist for advice on how to style it to best suit your face shape.
These Lindstrom Diagonal cutting nippers have an oval head. They are produced from high performance ball bearing steel which is black oxidised for increased durability. The numerically controlled machine grinding guarantees edge and angle accuracy and contact, which increases tool reliability and consistency.
The edges are precision induction hardened to 63-65 HRC. The handles have a return spring and are sleeved. Ideal for wire harness work, and standard printed circuit board assembly. Oval heads are the most common type of nipper head.
It combines strength and durability, can withstand and distribute the impact of cutting and is utilised in a myriad of applications.
This is one of the products now produced in Spain rather than the original site in Sweden. This is the second Spanish produced tool I have bought and I was unimpressed with both. The original 8140 cutter (which I also possess) was a ‘Flush Cut’ item.
This 8140 cutter is now described as ‘Micro Bevel’, the flush cut cutter is now 8141. I purchased an 8141 cutter from the same supplier and it is of excellent quality. I have been using Lindstrom Tools for over 50 years and am disappointed at the reduction in quality since production moved to Spain.
I am a scale modeler, Ive been at the hobby for 30 years. I had a pair of side cutters like these that Ive used for close to 15 years as sprue cutters but they were made but Sandvik. Worked beautifully but I figured Id retire them.
These are the same exact item albeit a little sharper than the Sandvik cutter that I rescued from the trash. LOL If used for scale modeling, these cutters leave a small nib that you need to sand off which is no big deal.
They fit in the hand nicely and don’t require much effort to cut at all. Highly recommended.
These 8148 pliers are new as advertised but i just opened them up and used them. They are far inferior to the old pair i purchased used some years ago. They do not cut flush like they should, the cutting edges do not align perfectly! I would guess they are rejects and thus sold cheaper.
Make the perfect oval for your next project. The Ovals Framelits Die Set includes 7 dies in different sizes, so you can get exactly the shape you need. Cut what you see. It’s that easy and efficient with Framelits.
These wafer-thin chemically-etched die sets feature the perfect registration without interference from any ridges at the edge of the die opening. Plus, they’re excellent for clearly cropping photos and cutting windows in cards, bags, boxes and scrapbook pages.
Designed to cut a single sheet of cardstock, paper, metallic foil or vellum, these dies also make great stencils and are perfect for layering to produce a 3-D effect. These dies are compatible with the BIGkick, Big Shot and Vagabond machines (used with a pair of Cutting Pads and the machine’s included Platform; when using the Essentials Platform or Solo Platform & Shim, the Extended Adapter or Solo Adapter is required).
Just bought a huge fillet of fish from the fish market, but have no pan to accommodate both the large size and delicacy of the fillet? Well look no further, because the Swiss Diamond Nonstick Fish Pan with Lid is not only perfect for large fillets of fish, but also pork chops and other large cuts of meats.
Featuring the new and enhanced XD nonstick coating, this pan contains 20 percent more diamonds than our previous HD nonstick coating. This new coating provides years of trouble-free cooking and painlessly easy cleanup.
Be kind to your waistline and steam fresh fish on the stovetop using the heat-tempered glass lid, which features an adjustable steam vent. The extra thick, cast aluminum body has a perfectly flat base, meaning that the pan will not tip, spin or warp while you are making all of your favorite dishes.
40 percent more durable, the Swiss Diamond XD nonstick coating has a tougher, more corrosion resistant layer with a significantly improved seal between the cooking surface and the aluminum base, creating an even better food release for delicate items like tilapia and salmon.
Plus, nothing conducts heat more quickly or efficiently than diamonds.
I have a decent collection of Non-stick, stainless steel, and cast iron cookware. My experience (there are exceptions to this rule) is that you get what you pay for. My cookware consists of All-Clad, Mauviel, and Le Creuset.
I was a little disappointed in the non-stick pieces I own with the exception of the Mauviel products but had read enough reviews on Swiss Diamond to try the 9. 5″ with lid. 1 – this has a good heft/weight it feels like you didn’t buy something inconsequential and that weight is accompanied by a great handle, easily the best on any product I own.
2 – the base does a great job of transferring heat and the instruction book will tell you to keep from using “high” heat settings on it. You won’t need high, ever. I’ve not used anything above “medium” settings and can easily sear anything at this level.
3 – they should promote the lid more than they do. I really didn’t realize that it has a vent feature built into the handle at the center of the lid. This comes in handy if you’d like to see some reduction of the consistency (liquid) of what you’re preparing and it’s adjustable.
4 – too early for me to comment on its longevity but Swiss Diamond has a Warranty for the Lifetime of the product with certain caveats, you can’t be using steel utensils, nor metallic scrub brushes, etc.
Read the warranty and keep metal out of your pan, IMO. I can easily wipe out the pan with a paper towel and then wash it by hand and it looks like it will last a long time. I’ll be buying a saucepan next to see how that works out.
I’m buying the HD Induction models – I’ve been using the skillet daily for only 2 weeks, so I can only base this review on that experience. 5 stars, easily!.
Don’t buy any Swiss Diamond products. I am one to usually give positive reviews but I’ve had a lot of trouble with Swiss Diamond as a company and the low quality of their products. I cook at home quite a bit and use this pan every day, sometimes twice per day.
I take great care of my kitchen tools and never put them in the dishwasher, always wash with soft sponge by hand, etc. This product, after less than 1 year of consistent use, has completely failed. There is no “nonstick” coating left and absolutely everything adheres to it now.
I contacted the company (twice) to activate the warranty that they offer, and after 12 weeks of consistently being a squeaky wheel, they finally “reached a decision” and decided that the warranty would not be upheld because it looked as though I was misusing the pan by constantly having it on high heat, which damaged the surface.
I don’t cook in this manner and know better in regard to how nonstick products should be handled. This was just an excuse to save money avoid sending me a replacement. In my opinion, it seems that they advertise that they have a warranty, but first red flag is it’s near impossible to get a hold of them.
Then, they deny claims based on what they see in a picture (I had to submit pictures of the pan) with the consumer having no recourse. I felt that this was an inaccurate and disingenuine denial of my claim to avoid taking responsibility.
Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a quality product.
This is my 3nd purchase of the same pan. I use the pan 1 to 2 times a day. I have had both the “regular” HD and the XD. Spend the extra money and get the XD, it is worth it. It is more durable and will last longer.
Don’t heat above 60% and use plastic. The very latest model have a much thicker bottom, which works well. Be aware, it does produce a little high pitch humming when used on an induction appliance. The previous model did not.
Web site states it does not. It is wrong. The manual that come with the pan states that the pan will produce a hum. It is frustrating that Swiss Diamonds web site is so out of date. Pictures etc. The labeling (models, etc.
) on the boxes shipped vs the website do not match, which can be confusing. It is not a deep fry pan, however it has the most flat area of a 10 inch fry pan, with allows me to cook a lot of food vs. other 10 in.
pans. The top that can be purchased with the pan works great. The top has lasted through all 3 of my pans (~10 yrs). The non-stick is fantastic. Eggs will not stick (with NO oil) for well over a year.
Read the instructions to learn now to maintain the pan. I know the pan is $150, however, you can see all the frustration of people buying pan after pan trying to find a “true & real” non-stick pan, this pan is truly non-stick.
I cook eggs every day in it, with NO oil, and they don’t stick for a couple of years. With this pan, I am going to be more careful with cleaning, utensils, and heat. All the best.
Lucky you! The best fit and style for every occasion, this curated box of sunglasses for her is perfect for a medium to wide oval face shape. Three classic styles and color options to WOW! Never settle, when you can have MORE! “Oval Face” Box includes: Jesse in Copper Ada in Black Chrystie in Tortoise Three piece pink Boutique Box Three pink microfiber gold embossed pouches 100% UV Protection.
All Velvet sunglasses come with a Velvet “Love it or Return it” Guarantee! Have a Question?.
I love the box of avaiator lovers sunglasses! Three pairs of small fitting sunglasses for an amazing price! The best part besides the style is the fit. I have a small nose and small face and these glasses are perfect.
The only thing I would suggest adding is a hard case for traveling. I like to travel with more than one pair and the soft sleeve case might not give enough protection in some situations. The box they came in is great for keeping them organized and protected at home.
I love these too much to break them. I highly recommend them and would absolutely buy them again.
This engagement ring is as elegant as it is dazzling. The center Oval cut sits high as the main focal point and is paired with a twisting accented band that adds even more glamour. The four-prong peg head setting looks classic with a matching white gold shank, or modern with mixed metals like yellow or rose gold.
The perfect twist on a classic style. This piece is set with our patented Nexus DiamondD alternative, a lab-created diamond simulant that is chemically distinct and visually indistinguishable from a flawless diamond.
This piece is set with Moissanite, a lab created gemstone with more fire and brilliance than a diamond. The Nexus DiamondD alternative is perfect: D color, IF clarity, and Ideal cut. Moissanite is a beautiful gemstone: DEF color, IF clarity, and Very Good cut.
Average band width: 1. 70 mm Average setting height: 8. 70 mm Average gram weight: 4. 63 g Stone size shown on the model is for reference only. All Nexus DiamondD alternatives come with a certificate of authenticity and a lifetime stone guarantee.
I’ve been meaning to leave a review for three years, and here I finally am. I remember spending so many hours researching the perfect wedding/engagement ring. (I’m not going to leave that up to my husband to decide! Hahaha) We went ring shopping at a few malls and it was so discouraging.
We were both poor college students, and he wanted to pay for the ring and he was a REALLY poor college student from the Pacific Islands. All the rings we could afford at the mall were just ugly and had teeny, tiny diamonds.
I was mostly just excited to marry my husband, but I was still sad. I wanted the ring that represented our love that I would wear all the time for the rest of my life to be beautiful. Well, luckily I found Diamond Nexus!! I found a perfect, gorgeous ring that my dear husband (then fiance) could actually afford! This is not exactly like my ring, which they may not carry anymore, but it is really close.
I LOVE the three stones, which to us, represent me, my husband, and the Lord. The ring is gorgeous, looks and feels like a diamond, and although it probably needs a cleaning three years later, it looks just as beautiful now.
Seriously, I’m not the person to leave reviews, but this one was so important for me to leave. Diamond Nexus is really doing something amazing. And I know that if my ring ever stops looking and feeling exactly like a diamond, I can get a refund.
If you care about child-mined blood diamonds” and want your stone to look perfect, this is for you! I recommend Diamond Nexus to anyone talking or thinking about wedding/engagement rings. If you’re on the fence about if it really is going to be “good enough” or as good as a real diamond, it totally is! “.
My fiancé picked out this ring, which I absolutely love the style/design. The ring was beautiful at first, but now after about 18 months of wearing it, the “diamond” looks extremely dull and does not sparkle.
It looks awful to be honest. I’ve cleaned it gently with dish soap and warm water, which helps for about 24 hours but then it looks bad again. I’m beginning to be very disappointed in the quality of this ring sadly.
Our wedding day is in October and I feel a little embarrassed to wear it because of how full it looks. Again, it was beautiful at first, but definitely has lost it’s sparkle. I don’t recommend for long term.
I’m so happy with my new beautiful rings!! They sparkle so pretty and they are just like real diamonds! I got the 2. 40 center Diamond and I was concerned that it might be to big and look fake but I’m so glad I did get the big one because with the wedding band it looks perfect and not at all to big or anything less than a beautiful huge Diamond.
I was going to get a real Diamond ring because I never gave a lab produced Diamond a thought. I just came across them on my search for the real thing. It perked my interest and I did some research and that is how I ended up with my gorgeous Nexus Diamond rings.
I highly recommend to everyone that wants more Diamond than they can afford to check these beauty’s out. You won’t be disappointed and no one needs to know they are lab produced.
Lab Grown Diamond Ring – Fiorella Halo Lab Diamond Engagement Ring (1/6 ct. tw. ) – 18K White Gold. A beautiful center gem wrapped in a delicate halo of diamonds blooms from within shimmering diamond leaves in this chic and memorable setting (1/6 total carat weight).
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this ring! We purchased it as an anniversary upgrade and I could not be happier. This time around I preferred the idea of a lab created diamond and the other ethical practices of BE.
I also switched it up a bit with yellow gold instead of white gold and a 2ct cushion cut stone. I was a bit nervous purchasing a diamond ring online having never seen it in person. All my expectations were exceeded!! The setting is delicate and glamorous.
The center stone we picked out is an absolute knock out!! I am now trying to pick out a new yellow gold wedding band from BE to compliment this beauty, can’t wait to complete the set!!.
I actually sat with my girlfriend and we browsed hundreds of designs from many websites until she fell in love with the Fiorella Halo on Brilliant Earth. A simple, yet elegant play on a classic design.
I paired the setting with a lab created 1. 18ct diamond of the highest quality I could afford (Ideal cut/D color/VVS1) and it was stunning. It has been a wonderful experience purchasing this ring on Brilliant Earth and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with the result.
We intend to get her wedding band done here as well. We’ve browsed through the wedding band options and are impressed with what we’ve seen.
I bought this to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years. We just purchased a home together a few months ago. As soon as we closed on the house I made the purchase of this beautiful Platinum Adeline Round Cut Diamond engagement ring! We decided to take aerial photos of our new home with my drone.
It was the perfect opportunity to video record the proposal. She thought we were just taking photos when I suddenly put the controller down and pulled the very nice wooden Brilliant Earth box out and popped the question! She was so surprised! She absolutely LOVES the ring! Luckily she said yes! :D.

Select the center diamond or gemstone of your choice to create your perfect engagement ring. aka pave engagement rings, pave diamond rings, micro pave engagement rings.
The ring came in perfect condition, nicely packaged, and is beautiful. The problem I have is with the company they use to finance. I took advantage of their zero finance offer which I have recently discovered is through TD Bank.
I ordered the ring in March, yet never received a statement. Made a concerned call to James Allen in mid-May, and was informed to call TD Bank, who handles their financing, as I can’t register online due to never receiving a statement with an account number.
When calling TD Bank, their automated phone service is very choppy, tried from multiple phones from my business to my cell, and all are equally choppy, and their call wait times are 4+ hours. I’ve had my phone running on hold all day and yet to get a pick-up, just to obtain an account number.
So while the ring is amazing, this financing experience has really ruined this process for me.
I’d like to say Thanks to all the staff at James Allen. The whole process from looking at the selections on the site, then walking into the store to see the possibilities in person, to the follow up from the sales staff Thanks Benjamin- to the video afterwards.
This has truly been an experience and my Fiancé loves what I have chosen for her. Thanks again.
This is another timeless ring with the rare oval shaped diamonds. Handcrafted using the finest quality stones and priced as fairly as possible. All rings are presented in our signature Noémie box. Includes an IGI Certificate.
If you need help with sizing, you can request a free physical ring sizer for exact results.
I love my new ring! I admittedly did not shop around at all (so I cannot honestly comment on the price compared with similar products) but I can tell you that this ring is gorgeous and the diamonds appear to be high quality.
I love stacking it with my other rose gold bands. If you are on the fence about ordering, I do not think you will regret it (especially with the free returns). The only negative I can think of is that the engraving on the inside of the band is super tiny, very hard to read.
Customer service was very responsive via email, which was much appreciated. Overall happy with my purchase!.
This ring is unbelievably beautiful! When it arrived, it was weightier than I imagined, and the quality is well worth the price. The style is very elegant and as someone who often wears this next to a mined-diamond ring, you can’t even tell these are lab grown.
I wear this ring daily and get compliments all the time. 10/10.
This is one of the most beautiful and sophisticated rings I have never owned. I was shocked at how substantial the ring is, even on my less-than-dainty hands. It sparkles brilliantly and the oval-cut diamonds add a uniqueness that sets it apart from other eternity bands.
The eternity band style was perfect for me, as I purchased the ring to wear in memory of my late father. It was a pleasure purchasing with Hello Noémie, and the value they continually choose to pass on to their customers is second to none.
I did a lot of comparison shopping when selecting this ring, and even the Black Friday 50% off sales of the competitors didn’t come close to Hello Noémie’s year-round pricing for this level of quality.
This is my second piece of jewelry from Hello Noémie, and I am now a loyal customer!.
This substantial showstopper brings the glamour to new heights. The lofted Nexus DiamondD Alternative center stone shines high above the accented band, which is set with even more Nexus DiamondD Alternatives along the top and sides of the shank.
Though the band is thick, it tapers gracefully toward the center, making the main stone appear larger and even more brilliant. As of early 2017, the Deco ring design was changed to include more metal and sturdier channel set accent stones.
Center stone pictured: 1. 41 carat Oval cut, 3. 02 tcw Set with the Nexus DiamondD alternative: a lab created diamond simulant that is chemically distinct but virtually indistinguishable from a perfect diamond.
Stones shown on the modelDs hand are for reference only. Average band width: 2. 40 mm Average setting height: 8. 20 mm Average gram weight: 5. 14 Complete the look with the matching Deco band. Order additional services like a personal appraisal for $50 or an engraving for $25.
Within 6 months of receiving this ring, two of the side stones fell out. I sent it in for repair and I have to say I was very happy with the service. The stones were replaced, settings checked and cleaned.
The total cost to me $80 and that included shipping Fed Ex 2 day for the return. It looks as beautiful now as the day I received it so I am very happy with the service. This is my third ring purchase from Diamond Nexus (Color My World and Gypsy).
The stone in the Color My World ring is okay. The stones in the Gypsy ring are actually quite nice, especially for the price I paid. This ring though, is spectacular. The pear cut gives it a very unique look and it sparkles like crazy.
I am sure this will not be my last purchase from Diamond Nexus.
Lab Grown Diamond Ring – Fiorella Halo Lab Diamond Engagement Ring (1/6 ct. tw. ) – 18K White Gold. A beautiful center gem wrapped in a delicate halo of diamonds blooms from within shimmering diamond leaves in this chic and memorable setting (1/6 total carat weight).
My fiancee is a healthcare worker and usually wears a silicone band for work; at home she loves to cook and works with her hands a lot. When it came to chosing a ring, I was looking for something with a low-profile gem setting that was simple but elegant, and this fit the bill perfectly.
The gem doesn’t sit too high off the band, minimizing scratches and snags against cloth, hair, or skin. The floral pavé gives the setting a vintage feel, which she loved. I paired this setting with a pear-cut alexandrite, and she loves to admire the way the gem and all its facets shift color and shine in the light.
She loves it, and so does her family, which is a great added bonus. Can’t recommend enough!.
This ring is STUNNING! I found it Summer 2019 on the Brilliant Earth Instagram and immediately knew it was the one. I couldn’t be happier about wearing it for the rest of my life. My fiance got me a rose gold band with a round.
78 lab created diamond. I think it’s the perfect metal to diamond ratio. The pictures really don’t do it justice; they make it look more squat than it is in person. In reality, the leaves are much more dainty, making it look like a beautiful blooming flower (which is exactly what I wanted).
I could not recommend this ring enough. Well done Brilliant Earth!.
