It’s engagement season! That means that we’re once again seeing happy couples excitedly shopping for engagement rings together as well as expectant brides-to-be dropping not so subtle hints to nervous grooms from the sidelines.
One thing to remember is that an engagement ring is much more than expensive eye candy, it’s both a symbol of your commitment and an expression of your personal style. If you’re lucky enough to be engagement ring shopping right now – and adventurous enough to be looking for something different – consider trying on one of 2018’s hottest engagement ring trends. It’s called the East/West Setting – and it’s literally a new “twist” on more traditional diamond stone settings.
With the East/West Setting, you go just a little “Feng Shui” and shake things up by flipping your diamond horizontally, so that its ends are facing out in an East/West position, instead of the more traditional North/South diamond settings. It’s unique enough to make admirers of your ring take a second and third look, but elegant enough to ensure that your ring is timeless and classic.
What diamond cuts look the best with an East/West setting? The look works best with the stunning emerald cut diamond as well as elegant oval cuts. Both look amazing when flipped onto their side; particularly when paired with a super trendy rose gold band, or the more traditional platinum, white and yellow gold options. The East/West setting is a look that is all at once romantic, timeless and different – like the love you are celebrating.
