Set the conventional way, an oval extends the line of the finger and makes the hand look longer; it is chosen for exactly that reason. Rotate it ninety degrees and the stone now spans the finger, so it reads as wider and shorter and the whole ring becomes horizontal where nearly every other engagement ring is vertical. That is why an east west setting registers as different from across a room even when the stone and the metal are ordinary. There is a technical consequence that follows. In a north south oval the two claws at the ends grip the narrowest points of the outline where the curve is tightest and the grip is most secure. Turned sideways, those same tight ends now point across the finger where they are more exposed to knocks, so the claws are made slightly heavier at the tips and set marginally lower than they would be on an upright stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: oval brilliant cut, set east west across the finger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: four claws, reinforced at the exposed ends of the outline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is a fine polished wire of even width running straight into the base of the setting. Nothing else is added. On a horizontal stone a bare band matters more than usual, because any decoration on the shank would create a second horizontal line competing with the one the diamond already draws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white.

It is carbon in the same crystal structure as a mined diamond, with the same hardness and the same optical properties, graded on the same scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.

It makes the ring read horizontally and the stone appear wider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an east west stone look bigger\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt looks wider rather than longer. Across the finger the same diamond covers more of the width, which most people read as a larger stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs an east west setting secure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, when built for it. We reinforce the claws at the two ends of the outline, which are the parts most exposed once the stone is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The stone sits low and the shank is straight, so a plain band meets it without a gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order.
