East West Engagement Rings

East west engagement rings turn the traditional setting on its side, with your center stone set horizontally for a longer, more elongated silhouette. East west settings work well with emerald, oval, marquise, and pear shaped diamonds, and pair beautifully with sleek solitaires or vintage inspired halos. Shop this modern classic in natural and lab-grown diamonds, fully customizable to fit your story.

East-west engagement rings feature elongated center stones that are set horizontally instead of a more traditional vertical setting. This way, the length of the stone runs parallel to your ring and perpendicular to your finger. This creates the illusion that your fingers are longer, and that your gemstone is bigger. Timeless with a twist, east-west engagement rings make the perfect setting for couples seeking a unique yet classic design.
