What is an East-West Engagement Ring

We may have been aware that almost every classic engagement ring style features, let's say, a round solitaire diamond. It sparkles with the right amount of pizzazz for a very striking appearance. While most engagement rings have diamonds placed in a vertical way. Or let’s say they point in an upward direction, from your palm to finger; this setting is also referred as north-south setting

Customize your jewelry

The east-west engagement ring on the other side has the setting, which means the center stone is placed horizontally, on your finger. This small shift in the setting of the ring gives a modern and chic look without drifting away from the classical charm

Diamond Shapes To Choose for East-West engagement Ring

Now that we know what an east-west engagement ring setting actually is, let’s talk about bling; by that we mean the diamond shape. The east-west setting complements different diamond shapes, but here are some of our favorite picks that might steal your heart

Oval Diamond

Let’s assume that oval is the closest kin to round-shaped diamonds. This diamond shape can appear almost 1.5 times bigger in size when compared to round diamonds. So when you set this shape in an east-west setting, it accentuates the sparkle. 

Marquise Diamond

When you set this diamond shape in this setting, it resembles two things; the first is the famous lips that inspired this cut. And the second thing is an evil eye charm; it possibly gives you an unexpected look, which is exactly why you choose this setting. This is the perfect choice for those who want something that is unconventional and outwardly felt. If you want to protect the tips of the diamond, simply get it set in a bezel setting.

Cushion Diamonds

If you want an east-west engagement ring that gives off the celebrity-inspired feel, go for this diamond shape. This diamond set in an east-west setting can closely resemble the engagement rings of Zendaya and Miley Cyrus. The rounded edges of this diamond shape flash fiery brilliance to give it a sweet and modern look.
