Split Shank Natural Diamond Rings
The classic Split Shank setting opens into a delicate, openwork band that draws the eye directly toward your natural diamond. By creating a wider, more ornate base, this timeless style enhances the historic prestige and organic brilliance of an earth-mined gem.
Why Pair a Natural Diamond with a Split Shank Setting?
A split shank setting divides the ring band into separate arms near the center stone, creating an open and sculptural frame around a natural diamond. The wider structure can add presence to the engagement ring while keeping the diamond visually centered. Depending on the design, the split shoulders may be polished, pavé set or shaped to complement the proportions of the center stone. For buyers seeking a natural diamond band with more detail in the band itself, a split shank setting offers a distinctive alternative to a conventional straight shank.
