Split shank lab grown diamond engagement rings, made to order in New York

In a split shank ring, the band splits into two as it reaches the center stone. The open space frames the diamond and makes it look bigger. A split shank also spreads the ring across more of the finger, so it feels balanced, and it gives the center stone extra support. Split bands can be plain metal or set with pavé diamonds.

How to choose a split shank ring

  • 01Plain or pavé

    Plain metal splits look clean and modern. Pavé splits add sparkle and make the whole ring shine.

  • 02Wide or tight split

    A wide split looks bold and frames a large center stone. A tight split looks delicate and pairs well with smaller stones.

  • 03Wedding band

    Some split shank rings need a curved or contoured band to sit well. Ask our team for a match.

Our promise

Every center stone comes with its own IGI report, and the report number is laser-inscribed on the diamond. Choose 10K, 14K or 18K gold, or platinum on many designs. Each ring is made to order at our New York office and arrives in 12–14 business days, with free insured shipping in the US.

Does a split shank make the diamond look bigger?

Yes. The open band frames the center stone and draws the eye to it, so it looks larger on the hand.

Is a split shank comfortable?

Yes. The band is shaped to sit flat and spread its weight across the finger.

Can I change the metal or the center stone?

Yes. Most designs come in 10K, 14K or 18K gold, or platinum. You can request a different center stone size, color or clarity in the Custom Text box on the ring page, or ask our team.

Can I see a ring in person?

Yes. Book an appointment at our office at 580 5th Ave, Suite 2300, New York, or meet us on a video call.
