Engagement rings are a timeless symbol of love, but that doesn’t mean they can’t evolve with modern trends. One of the most sought-after styles right now is the East-West engagement ring—a unique design that offers a fresh take on traditional settings. If you’re looking for a ring that’s elegant, contemporary, and effortlessly chic, an East-West setting might be perfect for you.
What Is an East-West Engagement Ring?
An East-West engagement ring features a diamond that is set horizontally across the band rather than in the traditional vertical (North-South) orientation. This subtle shift in design adds a modern, unexpected touch while maintaining the timeless beauty of an engagement ring.
Popular Shapes for East-West Rings
Some shapes work particularly well in an East-West setting. Here are a few of the most popular choices:
- Oval: Creates an elongated and elegant appearance.
- Emerald: A sleek and sophisticated choice that enhances the ring’s modern appeal.
- Marquise: The pointed edges add a distinctive flair.
- Pear: A unique twist that blends classic and contemporary aesthetics.
- Radiant or Cushion: For a softer, yet still striking look.
