You can fall for a center diamond and still feel unconvinced by the ring around it. If a single narrow band leaves the stone looking too isolated on your hand, a split shank can give the setting more width and definition. The band starts contributing before you add another carat to the center.

Ritani’s split shank engagement rings take that idea in several directions. Clean double bands sit beside diamond twists and open bands. Halos and V-shaped settings add more detail, with center-shape options ranging from round to marquise.

A Split Double Band Keeps the Center in Charge

The Ciara is the simplest place to see what a divided shank can do. Two slim bands separate as they approach the center, adding width around the diamond without surrounding it with a halo or turning the shoulders into a field of pavé.
