If you’re looking for a contemporary take on classic styles, tilted engagement rings are a great choice. These rings feature centre or side stones that are set at a slight angle. They are unusual without being too over the top, making them ideal for brides who prefer something a little different. From timeless styles to modern designs, we’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful tilted engagement rings.
Engagement Ring Trend to Watch – Tilted Rings
Here are just a few examples of tilted engagement rings to give you some inspiration…
V-End Claws

V-end claw setting, also known as V-prong, features two distinctive V shapes on either side of the stone. These hold the stone in place, adding visual detail to the ring at the same time. This type of setting works especially well with elongated stones. In this ring design, a tilted marquise is flanked by V-prongs on each side and set on a curved band.
Marquise Pearl

If you’re after something more subtle, marquise diamonds also work well on delicate bands. In this Toi et Moi design, a tilted marquise sits side-by-side with a very small pearl on a gold band. As pearls do not have a very high hardness rating on the Mohs scale, this ring should be removed when going to the gym, doing any gardening or partaking in any other activities that could result in wear and tear.
Double Band

Double band rings are a great take on the more traditional split band ring design. In this ring, a solitaire pear diamond takes centre stage, positioned between two bands. This ring is elegant yet simple. Platinum or white gold bands work well, however, warmer-toned bands in yellow or rose gold would also look good.
Pave Pear

There is no doubt that the pave pear ring is one of the most timeless styles of all. In this variation, the pave-encrusted centre pear diamond is set at a slight angle. Whether worn facing left or right, this ring is flattering on every hand. It works well in any metal. You can also add some colour with a coloured diamond or precious stone or use alternative stones along the band.
Minimal Trillion

Trillion or triangular diamonds feature three sides. Classic trillion cuts have slightly rounded edges. This design has a more angular, arrow shape. The smaller size of the stone along with the tiny pave stones along a delicate band make this ring minimal without losing any sparkle.
Classic Princess

Another timeless design is the princess ring. This ring is flattering, sophisticated and feminine. It is an excellent choice for surprise proposals, due to its simple style. The tilted princess ring adds a modern touch, with a solitaire stone that sits are a slight angle. This ring works well with all metal types. Pave stones can also be added to the band.
Three Stone

Finally, we have the three-stone ring. Also known as trilogy rings, these rings are romantic and symbolic. Each stone represents a different stage in your love story – past, present and future. If you love rings with meaning, this is a perfect choice. The tilted oval diamond in the centre along with the twisted band gives this delicate ring an unusual touch.
