New Split-Shank Rings Add Glitter And Glamour |
|
| Split-shank
rings have recently been exploding in popularity for both engagement
and right hand rings. This attractive ring style has also become a
favorite of many celebrities and young Hollywood. These eye-catching
designs not only lighten a ring’s weight, but also balance
the size of exceptionally large diamonds or colored gemstones without
being restricted to a possibly uncomfortable wide band. Split-shank rings are stunning designs that create the unique illusion of more than one ring in a single piece. They come in many attractive styles that curve, twist, or cross around the center stone. Some styles are braided, others add an open frame around the main gemstone or have crossing lines dipping to another level to produce an elegant wrap effect. A single split-shank is the most common design, but double and triple splits, which result in three or four band sections, are also available. And many of the splits are encrusted with pavé diamonds, emphasizing the split and enhancing the brilliance of the center stone. |
