More and more often, we are seeing a surge in clients looking for super unique designs. For those seeking engagement ring styles that are timeless, but with an edge, we recommend setting your center stone from east-to-west for an interesting take on the classics! Sure, it’s a big commitment and clients can be reluctant to divert from the standard at first, but with elongated shapes more popular than ever, we think this could be a welcome change in trends!

What Shapes Does This Work For?
Any elongated shapes, where there is an obviously longer length side, will do the trick! Think oval, elongated cushion, radiant, marquise, and emerald cuts to maintain the symmetry of the cut with more finger coverage in the width! Asymmetrical shapes, such as the pear, are a bit more daring but no less beautiful!

What Settings Can Accommodate This?
Almost any setting can be modified to an east-to-west version by custom order! Popular options like our invisible gallery setting, or even a standard floating or cathedral style can all be set east to west! For even more coverage, add a halo or a bezel to the center stone to embellish the look!

Are There Any Benefits To Setting The Ring This Way?
Absolutely! One of the beautiful features of the east-west setting is how it showcases your wedding band. If you opt for a band that is thicker or more detailed, the east-west style helps to expose it a bit more, whereas standard settings cover up most of the top view! Some clients also feel that the east-west style can make a larger center stone feel less disruptive for every day wear!

Are There Any Limitations To Setting The Ring This Way?
As with any design, there are a few things that don’t work quite as well for the east west model – for one, it would not be ideal for a 3-stone ring unless the center stone is on the smaller side!

The Verdict: East-West settings are a gorgeous way to make a popular ring design look a bit more unique! Keep in mind it's a bolder commitment, so make sure you love it before creating your Lauren B ring!
