East-West Engagement Rings
Turn the diamond. Turn heads. Our east-west engagement rings flip tradition on its side, literally, by setting the center stone horizontally across the finger instead of vertically. The result is a fresh, modern silhouette that elongates the hand and gives oval, emerald, marquise, and pear-cut diamonds room to make a real statement. Every ring is handcrafted to order in our White Plains, NY workshop and built around a certified diamond of your choice. Browse all engagement rings, or design your own.

East-West Engagement Rings
What Makes an East-West Engagement Ring Unique
- Elongates the finger: a horizontal stone draws the eye across, lengthening the hand.
Stands out without going bigger: a 1-carat oval looks larger east-west than north-south. - Pairs cleanly with wedding bands: the horizontal silhouette nests easily against a straight band.
- Modern but not trendy: the look is fresh, but the style has been around long enough to feel like a classic.
