What is an east-west diamond band?
An east-west diamond band sets elongated diamonds horizontally across the finger rather than in the traditional north-south orientation. In the Vela, emerald-cut diamonds are set east-west around the entire band, creating a clean, continuous line.
Why choose emerald-cut diamonds for an eternity band?
Emerald-cut diamonds are known for their clean lines, elongated proportions, and distinctive step-cut facets. Set side by side, their strong geometry creates a refined, architectural rhythm around the finger.
Are the diamonds bezel-set?
Yes. Each emerald-cut diamond is individually bezel-set, framing and protecting the stone while emphasizing its geometric shape. The setting is kept low to create a smooth, streamlined profile.
Can the Vela East-West Band be worn as a wedding or anniversary ring?
Yes. It can be worn as a modern diamond wedding band or anniversary ring, stacked alongside an engagement ring, or worn alone as a statement diamond band.
Is this diamond band suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. The low-profile bezel settings help protect the edges of the emerald-cut diamonds and keep the stones close to the hand, creating a comfortable and practical profile for regular wear.
Can I customize the diamonds?
Yes. Diamond size and quality can be tailored to your preferences and budget. Eimear personally sources and hand-selects the diamonds, with particular attention to matching their proportions, color, clarity, and overall appearance across the full eternity band.
Can this ring be made in different metals?
Yes. The Vela East-West Diamond Band can be made in 18k yellow, white, or rose gold, or platinum.
Can the Vela East-West Diamond Band be resized?
No. As a full eternity band, the Vela has continuous diamond coverage around the entire ring and cannot be resized. It is important to confirm your correct finger size before ordering. If you are unsure of your size, please contact us before placing your order and we can guide you.
How long does a made-to-order Vela diamond band take?
Allow approximately 4–6 weeks once the ring size, diamonds, metal, and final specifications have been confirmed.
