The Nova East West Bezel Diamond Engagement Ring

The Nova is an east west bezel engagement ring combining one of jewelry's oldest protective settings with a modern horizontal orientation — the diamond lies across the finger inside a smooth metal rim. A low profile engagement ring built to last and worn comfortably through every part of a full life.

The Nova east west engagement ring wraps the entire perimeter of the horizontally set diamond in a smooth, continuous rim of metal — no prong tips, no exposed corners, a profile that sits as close to the hand as any engagement ring setting can. The east-west orientation amplifies that practical quality: the diamond lies across the finger rather than rising above it, creating a bezel diamond ring that is genuinely built for everyday life. As a low profile engagement ring, the Nova combines two of the most enduring practical choices in engagement ring design.

Metal Options 14K Yellow Gold, 14K White Gold, 14K Rose Gold, or Platinum. Sustainably sourced.
Style East west bezel engagement ring

Setting starts at $2,395. Paired with a 1 carat lab grown diamond center, the Nova east west bezel engagement ring starts at approximately $3,295.

What makes the Nova particularly suitable for an active lifestyle?

The Nova combines a full bezel with a low east-west profile. The bezel wraps metal around the whole edge of your center diamond — no exposed prong tips to snag or loosen — and the horizontal setting keeps the diamond lying low across the finger. Together they make it one of the most practical settings for hands-on, everyday wear.

How does the Nova's bezel differ from the Emery's bezel?

Both fully bezel the center diamond. The Nova sets the diamond east-west, horizontally across the finger, on a simple 2mm round band for a low, modern look. The Emery sets its diamond upright on a tapered split shank, a slightly more elevated and sculptural profile. Same protective bezel, different orientation and band.

Why does an east west bezel work especially well for elongated diamond shapes?

Elongated shapes like oval, emerald, and marquise look striking laid horizontally, spanning the width of the finger, and a bezel follows their outline cleanly to hold them at that angle. The east-west bezel both shows off the length of the shape and protects its ends, which is why it suits elongated diamonds particularly well.

Our guided approach to customizing each ring with intention and clarity.

Every Lisa Robin ring is made to order, which means your design can be thoughtfully refined, even when ordering online. Whether you're adjusting a detail or evolving the design, we guide you through each decision so the final piece feels cohesive and entirely yours.

Design refinements can be explored after your initial order, with any pricing adjustments clearly outlined and approved before crafting begins.

Refinement options include:

  • Adjusting the width or taper of the band (shank)
  • Modifying or adding side diamonds for additional detail or presence
  • Refining the thickness and edge of the bezel, including a milgrain finish
  • Adjusting the setting height and the profile beneath the bezel
  • Selecting your preferred metal type and color
  • Adapting the design to better coordinate with a wedding ring
Made to order: your diamond engagement ring is crafted in 3 to 4 weeks after you approve your design Dec 10 to Dec 14

The Nova East West Bezel Diamond Engagement Ring

The bezel setting has existed for thousands of years — in ancient Roman, Egyptian, and Byzantine jewelry — because it works. It protects the diamond completely, sits close to the hand, and creates a silhouette that is smooth and uninterrupted. The Nova takes that ancient practical wisdom and turns it sideways.

The east-west orientation gives the bezel a distinctly modern sensibility, and the combination is one of the most wearable engagement rings in the collection. As an east west engagement ring, the Nova reads as deliberately contemporary. As a bezel diamond ring with a horizontal orientation, the Nova combines two practical design choices into a ring built around the way real lives are actually lived. Heritage and modern intention, meeting in practical balance.

Wear it as a ring built for the way you actually live. The Nova joins a Lisa Robin tradition of bezel and east west engagement rings designed for couples who refuse to choose between beauty and practicality.

I loved working with Lisa Robin! It was so easy to create exactly what I wanted. With some minor changes to Lisa's gorgeous styles, I had the perfect wedding ring to coordinate with my Lisa Robin Engagement Ring. Can’t wait to add another ring to my stack.

More about Lisa Robin bezel engagement rings

A bezel engagement ring holds the diamond inside a smooth rim of metal that wraps around the edge of the diamond, instead of using prongs. The metal rim secures the diamond and creates a clean, architectural silhouette. Bezel engagement rings are among the most secure settings in fine jewelry — one of the oldest setting styles in the world, used for centuries because of how well they protect the diamond.
A full bezel wraps metal completely around the diamond — maximum security and the cleanest silhouette. A half bezel (or partial bezel) covers only the top and bottom edges of the diamond, leaving the sides open so light enters from more angles. Half bezels are common with elongated shapes like oval and emerald cut. Full bezels are especially popular with rounds and ovals where the metal rim follows a smooth curve.
Bezel engagement ring settings start at $2,195. A 1 carat lab grown diamond brings most rings to roughly $3,195 fully crafted. Bezel settings cost slightly more than equivalent prong settings because the bezel rim is precision-cut to the specific diamond's dimensions — fabrication time is higher. We share itemized pricing for every quote.
Yes — they're one of the most durable settings available. The continuous metal rim protects the diamond's edge, eliminates the snagging risk of prongs, and holds the diamond securely against impact. Couples who work with their hands, wear gloves, or lead active lives often choose bezels specifically for the security and snag-free profile.
Every shape works in a bezel — round, oval, emerald, princess, marquise, pear, cushion, asscher, and radiant. Round and oval are the most-requested because the smooth curve of the bezel rim follows the shape elegantly. Emerald, asscher, and princess shapes work especially well in geometric bezel designs. Marquise and pear shapes are often set in half bezels that highlight the elongated profile.
3–4 weeks from the day your order is finalized. Bezel fabrication is precision work — the rim has to be cut to your specific diamond's dimensions, which adds setting time but stays within the standard timeline. We keep you informed at every milestone.
Yes. Choose any of our bezel designs (Emery, Morgan, Nova East-West, Kallely, and others) with your selected diamond, metal, and refinements. We can adjust band width, choose full vs. half bezel, and coordinate with a future wedding ring. For fully bespoke bezel designs, book a private design appointment to start.
Yes. Bezel center settings work with pavé shoulders, side stones, or hidden halos beneath the center diamond. The Nova family carries the bezel center with pavé shoulder construction; the Kallely is a refined bezel solitaire with no side diamonds. A hidden halo under a bezel-set center diamond adds dimensional brilliance visible from the side view without compromising the clean bezel top profile. We discuss these additions during the design conversation — they can be incorporated into the design without changing the bezel center setting itself.
A bezel covers the entire perimeter of the center diamond with a continuous metal frame. Prong settings hold the diamond with metal fingers from above, leaving most of the diamond's edge exposed. The bezel's continuous metal coverage protects the diamond's most vulnerable area — the edge, where the most chipping occurs — from impact. For diamonds with pointed ends (marquise, pear) or corners (emerald cut, asscher), bezel settings prevent point and corner chipping that prong settings don't fully guard against. For active daily wear, bezel protection is one of the most practical reasons to choose this setting style.
Yes — bezel engagement rings are among the most practical settings for hand-intensive daily activity. The diamond is held inside the metal frame at the band's plane rather than lifted above it on prongs, so the ring sits low and doesn't catch on keyboards, fabric, or surfaces. For occupations involving manual work (medical, dental, education, food service, manufacturing), athletic activities, or parenting young children, bezel construction is one of the most comfortable and practical engagement ring choices. The low profile also means the ring stays in place during repeated hand use rather than rotating on the finger.

Yes. Every Lisa Robin ring carries a lifetime craftsmanship warranty against crafting defects. If a defect in how your ring was crafted appears at any time, we will repair or replace it, at our option, at no charge. It covers crafting defects only, not wear and tear, accidental damage, theft, or the loss of diamonds or gemstones not caused by a defect. For care beyond the warranty, the JM Care Plan is the lifetime service option.
