Split Shank Bypass Diamond Engagement Ring - Two Tone GoldBack to Jewelry Guide Split Shank Bypass Diamond Engagement Ring - Two Tone Gold Fast forward 50 years into the future, and what diamond engagement ring designs do you predict will lead the market in popularity? For those of us who focus on the future, modern engagement rings are a winner on all accounts. But the category of modern engagement rings is vast, broad and contains more moving parts than most of us could ever imagine. And if that does not present enough of a challenge, there is a subjective human component in the category of modern and contemporary engagement ring designs. And the bottom line is that no two engagement ring designers will always agree on what to classify as a modern engagement ring. More specifically, there is an unwritten threshold that exists for each of us, whether we know it or not. Pass the threshold, and we will consider the diamond setting modern, vintage, unique and so forth. And it is this threshold that ultimately dictates the engagement ring designs that satisfy our most profound aesthetic appetites. Let’s take an engagement ring design characteristic that is unquestionably modern - the split shank. The split shank has only started to gain traction in the past 20 years. One of the driving forces behind its rise in popularity is that a split shank encourages more side stone diamonds. More side stone diamonds means greater fire and scintillation. And that, in and of itself, is part of the foundation of a modern engagement ring design. In fact, side stone engagement rings have become a major dominant force in our industry. While the industry-wide percentages vary from one source to another, over 80% of the diamond engagement rings we sell contain side stones. It has become a modern standard in the engagement ring industry, which makes all the sense in the world. Looking at this two tone diamond engagement ring masterpiece, for most people it becomes immediately clear that the design was intended to encapsulate a modern persona, and to capitalize on its modern character. And on the topic of encapsulating, the split shank wraps the diamond in a bypass fashion in an exquisitely modern depiction that combines the split shank and bypass in a single design. Not surprisingly, both strands of the split shank are showered with side stone diamonds, contributing exponential brilliance to the engagement ring design. The two-tone white gold and rose gold combination adds yet another modern exotic component to this design, which offers the perfect finishing touch. In summary, we have combined the split shank, bypass, side stones and two-tone gold in a single engagement ring design that will remain relevant for many decades in the future.
