There are two types of \u201ctwisted\u201d engagement rings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Upside-down engagement rings<\/li><li>East-west settings.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The pear diamond ring pictured above is an<strong>&nbsp;upside-down ring<\/strong>. In these rings, the center diamond (or gemstone) is suspended from&nbsp;<strong>the bottom of the band,<\/strong>&nbsp;rather than set within the middle of the band.

Since this band isn\u2019t closed, the open sides showcase the middle of the ring finger and draws attention to the details of the setting.<\/li><li><strong>Chevron bands:<\/strong>&nbsp;This funky ring features one or multiple strips of metal dipping into the signature \u201cv\u201d shape of the chevron pattern. The \u201cv\u201d can point to the root or tip of the finger depending on how you prefer to wear it. Diamonds can be incorporated into these rings in a pave setting, or they can be nestled within the triangular tip of the chevron.<\/li><li><strong>Square bands:<\/strong>&nbsp;Design a ring with edge\u2014literally.
