East-West Engagement Rings -
For a truly modern perspective on tradition, our East-West engagement rings offer a fresh, horizontal take on classic gemstone shapes. By turning the stone 90 degrees, we create a silhouette that feels contemporary, architectural, and uniquely balanced on the hand. This collection features the celestial, star-like energy of our Comet series, the delicate, refined proportions of the Mini Astraea designs, and the tactile, organic textures found in the Rivda collection. Whether it is an elongated marquise or a sleek oval, this orientation highlights the gemstone's proportions in a completely unexpected way. Individually handcrafted in our London studio, these designs are perfect for those who want a familiar gemstone cut with a distinctly unusual and artistic edge.

The Modern Appeal of Horizontal Settings
The East-West setting has become a favourite for the modern bride-to-be who values clean lines and a low-profile fit. Not only does this orientation provide a unique visual aesthetic, but it is also exceptionally practical for an active lifestyle, as the stone sits more flush against the finger. In our collection, we use this "sideways" setting to create a sense of movement and modern geometry that defies traditional jewellery conventions. For those who appreciate a more fluid approach to design, you may also wish to explore our Asymmetrical Engagement Rings, which share this spirit of non-conformity.
Handcrafted British Design
Each of our East-West rings is meticulously engineered to ensure the stone is perfectly balanced within its frame. From minimalist Modern Solitaire styles to more intricate Sculptural settings, we focus on the fine details that make each piece an authentic expression of individuality. As with all Nude Jewellery pieces, these rings are made to order in the UK using traditional techniques. If you have a specific gemstone shape in mind—such as a horizontal pear or emerald cut—our Bespoke service is available to help you create a one-of-a-kind piece that perfectly captures your style.

By setting gemstones horizontally, we create a unique engagement band silhouette that is both architectural and distinctly non-traditional.
