A Guide to Split Shank Engagement Rings

Marked by a band that elegantly splits into two delicate strands of precious metal to frame the center gem, split shank engagement rings offer a look that’s as on-trend as it is classic.

What is a Split Shank Engagement Ring?

A split shank engagement ring features a band that splits into two as it reaches the ring’s center gemstone. This creates two open spaces that gracefully frame the center gem. A split shank design gives a modern flair to a classic solitaire setting. The double band also gives an opportunity to add additional sparkling diamond accents to an engagement ring setting.
