East-West

Set East to West

A quiet, modern way to wear a diamond. The stone lies across your finger, not along it.

An East-West setting turns the stone on its side, so it rests horizontally across the finger. The result reads modern and a little unexpected, and it draws the eye in a way a traditional setting does not. Looking for a two-stone Toi-et-Moi instead? Dave designs those by consultation as well.

A modern silhouette

The horizontal line feels current and understated, at home on its own or stacked with bands.

Elongating on the hand

An elongated cut set East-West lengthens the look of the finger.

Yours, and rare

Few jewelers offer it. Dave sets the orientation to your hand and your eye.

Questions about East-West

What is an East-West setting?

The stone is rotated ninety degrees so it sits horizontally across your finger rather than pointing along it.

Does it cost more?

No. It is a matter of how the stone is set. Your price depends on the stone and the setting you choose, the same as any piece.

Which diamond shapes work best?

Elongated cuts shine here: emerald, oval, marquise, radiant, and cushion. Dave will guide you to the right one.

Can you make any ring East-West?

Most settings can be oriented this way. Share the look you want and Dave will tell you what is possible.
