East-west engagement rings feature elongated center stones that are set horizontally instead of a more traditional vertical setting. This way, the length of the stone runs parallel to your ring and perpendicular to your finger. This creates the illusion that your fingers are longer, and that your gemstone is bigger. Timeless with a twist, east-west engagement rings make the perfect setting for couples seeking a unique yet classic design.
