The Aveline 1.3 Ct Oval Solitaire: A Closer Look at True Diamond's Modern Heirloom
Some rings announce themselves; others reward a second look. The Aveline belongs to the second group. At a glance it reads as a clean oval solitaire, but the band tells a quieter story, a run of alternating marquise and round diamonds that catches the light as the hand moves. This is a closer look at what makes it a modern heirloom.

Why the oval cut flatters the hand
An oval is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear, because its elongated outline draws the eye down the finger and makes both the stone and the hand look longer and slimmer. That is the practical reason ovals have stayed in demand for engagement rings.
There is a value reason too. Because an oval spreads its weight along a longer axis than a round stone, it tends to look larger face-up than its carat weight suggests. A 1.3 ct oval reads with real presence on the hand, carrying the visual scale many buyers associate with a heavier round stone. If you are weighing shapes, our round versus oval comparison and our wider oval engagement ring guide go deeper.
The detail that sets it apart: the accent band
What separates the Aveline from a plain solitaire is the band, a rhythm of alternating marquise and round diamonds running along the shank rather than a single smooth metal edge. It is a small idea with an outsized effect.
The marquise diamonds, with their pointed, tapering outline, echo the elongated shape of the oval centre, so the whole ring feels designed as one piece rather than a stone dropped onto a band. The round diamonds between them add steady sparkle and soften the rhythm. The result is a ring with movement and light-play at the edges, without the accent stones ever competing with the centre.
It is the kind of detail that reads as considered rather than busy, which is exactly what the phrase 'modern heirloom' is meant to capture: contemporary enough to feel current, detailed enough to keep for a lifetime.
Choosing your metal
The Aveline comes in 14KT and 18KT, across white, yellow, and rose gold, plus True Diamond's signature Champagne finish, so the metal is a real design decision rather than a default. Each choice changes the mood of the ring:
- White gold keeps the focus on the diamonds and reads cool and contemporary, letting the oval and its accents look their brightest.
- Yellow gold brings warmth and a classic, celebratory feel that sits comfortably within Indian jewellery tradition.
- Rose gold adds a soft, romantic tone that has become a modern favourite.
- Champagne is True Diamond's own refined alloy, a distinctive middle path between yellow and white for anyone who wants something less expected.
The choice between 14KT and 18KT is a balance of colour depth and everyday durability. For more on matching metal to skin tone, our guide on Champagne Gold is a good companion read.
What you are paying for, and what you are not
The Aveline starts at ₹89,879 in 14KT and ₹97,187 in 18KT, with the final figure depending on your metal, karat, and size. That is a transparent, verifiable price for a certified lab-grown oval solitaire with a fully diamond-set accent band.
Because the centre and accent stones are lab-grown, you are paying for the diamond and the craftsmanship rather than the scarcity premium of a mined stone. A lab-grown diamond is physically, chemically, and optically identical to a mined one and is graded to the same standards, which is why every Aveline diamond carries IGI certification and every setting is BIS-hallmarked gold. In practice, that lets your budget go toward a larger, better-finished stone than the same spend would buy in mined form.
Who the Aveline is for
The Aveline suits someone who wants an engagement ring that is classic in silhouette but personal in detail. It is a strong first oval solitaire, and it wears well beyond the proposal, alongside a plain wedding band, or on its own as a piece with real presence for everyday and occasion wear alike. If you like the look but want to compare it against other shapes and settings first, browse True Diamond's lab-grown solitaire rings before deciding.

Caring for your Aveline
An accent band means a few more facets to keep bright, but the routine is simple. Soak the ring in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, brush gently with a soft-bristle brush to lift oils from behind the stones, rinse, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Do this every couple of weeks and the marquise and round accents will keep sparkling alongside the centre. Take the ring off for heavy manual work and gym sessions, and store it separately so harder stones do not scratch the gold. For more, see our note on daily-wear durability.
Questions about the Aveline
How big does a 1.3 ct oval look on the hand?
Larger than the carat weight alone suggests. An oval spreads its weight along a longer axis than a round stone, so it presents more surface area face-up. On most hands a 1.3 ct oval reads as a confident, clearly visible centre stone without tipping into oversized.
Are the accent diamonds real diamonds too?
Yes. The marquise and round accents along the band are lab-grown diamonds, the same as the centre stone, so the whole ring sparkles as one piece rather than pairing a diamond centre with lesser accents.
Which metal should I choose?
It comes down to preference and skin tone. White gold keeps the focus on the diamonds, yellow gold reads warm and traditional, rose gold adds a soft romantic tone, and the Champagne finish offers something distinctive. All are available in 14KT and 18KT.
Can the Aveline be resized?
Yes. Order your Indian ring size (7 to 22) at checkout, and True Diamond offers resizing if the fit needs adjusting. If you are buying as a surprise, the Surprise Proposal Policy allows a one-time exchange within 30 days so the design or size can be adjusted.
Is a lab-grown diamond a good choice for an engagement ring?
Yes. A lab-grown diamond is identical to a mined one in every physical and optical respect and is graded to the same certification standards. Choosing lab-grown lets you prioritise size, cut quality, and craftsmanship at a value a mined stone cannot match at the same price.
