Trend Alert: East-West Engagement Rings

We at Moissy.com love all kinds of engagement rings, from the traditional to the minimalist to the ornate. We also like how engagement rings, despite having been around for hundreds of years, are constantly being changed and updated. They’re certainly not immune to exciting and fashionable new styles.

One of our favorite trends that we’ve observed in the bridal game lately is east-west engagement rings. Rather than the center stone being oriented up and down (or north-south), the stone in an east-west ring is oriented horizontally. Glamour.com recently published a great piece by our good friend Kim Fusaro about this hot new trend. We thought we’d share some of our favorite rings that feature east-west moissanite center stones.

We love this sleek solitaire ring. It’s the perfect choice for the stylish, modern bride. Plus, the radiant cut adds a ton of eye-catching sparkle.

Pear Moissanite Feather Engagement Ring, KristinCoffin on Etsy, $1,350

Etsy designer Kristin Coffin visited us here at Charles & Colvard® a few weeks ago, and she’s as charming as she is talented. Pear cuts are becoming more and more popular, and this is a particularly stunning east-west example. The feather pattern on the band adds a whimsical and delicate touch to this lovely ring.

East-west engagement rings come in a variety of shapes. Marquise, pear, and emerald cuts are especially popular, but oval makes a wonderful choice as well. The halo setting on this ring is fit for a queen.
