Want a proposal ring that breaks from the crowd? Our east west engagement ring does exactly that. A stunning 2.0ct oval lab grown diamond is set sideways, lying horizontally across the finger, held in a sleek claw setting on an open, curved 18ct yellow gold band. So instead of the usual upright stone, the oval stretches beautifully across the hand for a look that feels fresh, modern, and effortlessly cool. Distinctive, elegant, and full of sparkle, this is the ring for someone who wants their engagement ring to be a little bit different, and completely unforgettable.
Why set a diamond east west? Style and individuality. Turning the oval on its side is a contemporary twist that instantly sets the ring apart, giving it a relaxed, modern elegance while still showing off all the fire of the stone. The horizontal orientation also spans the finger, making a real statement, and the open, sweeping band adds to that sleek, architectural feel. By keeping it a clean solitaire, we let that beautiful sideways diamond be the whole story. As a result, the ring is chic, unique, and endlessly eye catching.
We craft this east west engagement ring in 18ct yellow gold and set the lab grown diamond by hand. It grades D in colour, the very whitest a diamond can be, and VVS2 in clarity, so it is exceptionally white and clean, and it is IGI certified, so its quality is guaranteed in writing. So you get a large, top grade diamond, real gold, and remarkable value.

- Accent Stones: None
- Metal: 18ct yellow gold (also available in 18ct white and rose gold on request)

Why Buy This East West Engagement Ring
