If you're looking for a fresh take on a traditional engagement ring, consider an "east-west" setting, which turns the main center stone horizontally instead of vertically for a modern aesthetic. Emerald-cut stones look exceptionally beautiful in this type of setting, but can also apply to oval, pear, and marquise cuts as well. Whether choosing a sleek, plain band or one with diamonds, this type \of setting is eye-catching and unexpected. See below for a few of our favorite designs that can be modified to fit this east-west style.

 Modern

Our Chloe solitaire is the perfect fit for those seeking a modern, sleek look that will forever be in style. The Chloe originally comes as an oval solitaire, but just contact us to make modifications, like changing the diamond shape, or changing it to east-west, like above. 

 Fancy

For those looking for extra bling, our Esme halo engagement ring is the perfect fit. With lab-grown diamonds set on the front, back, and top of the band, there is no way you'll miss the bling! We can modify this style to accommodate an east-west setting, like above with an oval center stone. 

Classic

A solitaire engagement ring with side stones is a style you can feel confident in that will never go out of style. To put a unique twist on it, try it east-west, like the above Alexandria that's been modified with an emerald-cut center stone. 

Those are our favorite modified styles to accommodate the fun and classy east-west style! What are your thoughts on this trend?
