East-West Engagement Rings

East-West Engagement Rings

If you're looking for a less traditional engagement ring, this is it! An east-west engagement ring is a truly unique and modern choice. These eye-catching rings feature diamonds that are horizontally set, rather than vertically set. In other words, east-west engagement rings have diamonds that are turned sideways, rather than following the natural flow of your finger. 

In an east-west engagement ring, elongated diamond shapes like the oval-cut, emerald-cut, radiant-cut, and marquise-cut work the best. Cushion-cut diamonds will also look beautiful in this setting, but make sure to choose an elongated cushion-cut diamond with a length-to-width ratio of at least 1.20. 

East-west style engagement rings look great on any finger, but will look especially flattering on those with wider fingers. Those with wide fingers should avoid dainty engagement rings, and east-west settings provide nice coverage on the finger.

East-West Emerald Cut Engagement Rings

The glamorous, Art Deco-style emerald-cut diamond gets a modern, glamorous twist in an east west setting. Emerald-cut diamonds don't sparkle much, so you may want to consider setting your diamond in a sidestone, halo, or three-stone setting to add extra sparkle overall to your ring. 

East-West Radiant Cut Engagement Rings

The radiant-cut is similar to the emerald-cut, but with a brilliant faceting style that gives it extra sparkle. Some radiant cuts are squarer in shape, so make sure to choose a radiant cut with a length-to-width ratio of at least 1.20 for a more elongated diamond that will suit the east-west setting better.
