The short answer
Split shank engagement rings at a glance
In a split shank ring, the band divides into two strands as it rises to meet the center diamond. The split adds width and frames the stone, so the ring feels bold without a halo. Every Raul split shank ring is made to order in 14K or 18K gold around an IGI-certified lab-grown center diamond.

How to choose
Choosing your split shank ring
Why choose a split shank?
It gives a larger center diamond a balanced frame and fills the finger nicely. It suits larger hands and bigger stones especially well.
Plain or pavé strands?
Plain strands look sleek and sculptural. Pavé strands add sparkle that leads the eye to the center.
| Strands | Look |
|---|---|
| Plain | Sculptural, modern |
| Pavé | Glamorous, bright |
Will a wedding band fit next to it?
A split shank is wider at the top, so a slim straight or curved band works best beside it.
