Jewel Up - What is a Split Shank Engagement Ring?

When you gauge the structure of a ring, the shank refers to the band or the part that wraps around your finger or holds your stone intact, giving it a rock-solid foundation. A split shank engagement ring is a style that depicts a striking design in which the band splits near the center stone, creating a cradle-like illusion of two rings. Quite metaphoric of this exhilarating bond, isn’t it?

Designed with accented gemstones or diamonds, the luxurious influences of the Art Deco period seamlessly blend in with the contemporary, understated interpretations of today. Split shank bands have evolved with new patterns created in different settings and styles like halos and pear-shaped ornaments from time to time.

Boasting a sense of versatile grace and artistic appeal, these engagement bands can accommodate different stone shapes, carat sizes, setting styles, and precious metals. A split shank engagement ring caters to the different personalities of its wearers. While a single split may be a favorite amongst the minimalists, a double or triple split shank may connect more with a vibrant, exuberant owner. By illuminating the center stone through an inscribed shank, or opting for a narrow or a wide shank, these considerations are paramount to the final ring that will be reminiscent of your lifelong commitment to ‘honor and cherish’ one another.
