Where oval melee is used
- East–west settings — an oval set lengthwise across a band or shoulder.
- Curved pavé runs — ovals follow a curve more smoothly than rounds of the same width.
- Halos and clusters — around an oval or pear centre, or as the petals of a cluster.
- Side stones — a matched pair at 4×2 or 4×3 mm beside an oval or cushion centre.
Setting notes
Ovals seat easily — no points to protect — so four claws or a bezel both work; claws at the ends give the most secure hold. Watch the bow-tie: a well-cut oval shows only a faint one, and consistency across a row depends on every stone being cut to the same proportions, which is what a single matched lot gives you. For pairs, order both stones in one order and note "matched pair"; they are sorted together from the same lot.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy just one or two oval moissanite melee stones?
Yes. Caratura sells oval melee individually — the minimum is one stone — at $4 to $10 per stone depending on size, with no wholesale minimum. Shipping is $20 flat worldwide, free over $100, with duties prepaid.
What sizes of oval moissanite melee are available and what do they cost?
5 calibrated sizes: 2×3 mm ($4), 4×2 mm ($5), 2.5×3.5 mm ($6), 4×3 mm ($8), 5×3 mm ($10) per stone, in D colour / VVS clarity, calibrated to ±0.1 mm. Other sizes are cut to order in about 7 days.
Will two oval stones ordered together match as a pair?
Stones in one order are supplied from one matched lot and hand-inspected for size, colour and cut consistency before dispatch. Note 'matched pair' in the order comments and the two stones are sorted together; if any stone is outside ±0.1 mm, report it within 14 days for a free replacement or refund.
How long does it take to receive oval melee from Caratura?
Most in-stock sizes are dispatched within 24 hours; delivery takes about 7–10 business days by tracked express, with import duties and taxes prepaid (DDP) — we ship worldwide.
