What are Split Shank Rings?
The split shank ring is a unique ring style with bands that part as it reaches the center stone. There is a visible gap between the band and the center gem, which gives it the complexity and artistic twist on a traditional ring style.
The way the band outlines and holds the center stone makes the stone appear much larger and more lavish. This adds character to an engagement ring.
There is a range of styles and variations that exist for the split shank setting. The dramatic and subtle expression of the split shank engagement ring will depend on the variation in the ring’s proportions, as well as the shape of the center stone.
