FAQs About Split Shank Engagement Rings
Does a Split Shank Make the Diamond Look Bigger?
No, a split shank design does not inherently make the diamond look bigger. The visual perception of diamond size is primarily determined by the carat weight and the way light interacts with the stone. However, a split shank setting can add visual interest and create the illusion of a larger overall ring by enhancing the presence and showcasing the diamond more prominently.
What Do Split Shank Rings Symbolize?
Split shank engagement rings are symbolic of two lives joining together as one, representing the beautiful journey of love and partnership. These exquisite designs create the illusion of two bands merging into one, embodying the strength and unity of a couple's enduring commitment to each other.
Are Split Shank Engagement Rings Affordable?
Split shank engagement rings cater to a range of budgets, from modest to extravagant. While luxurious designs featuring intricate detailing and high-quality stones are on the higher end of the price spectrum, there are also more affordable options available. Reach out to Gabriel’s Concierge Team of Engagement Ring Specialists who can guide you through the metal, design, setting and gemstone options to help you find a stunning ring within your budget.
What Should One Look for in a Split Shank Engagement Ring?
When searching for the perfect split shank engagement ring, focus on the quality of the center stone, the design of the shank, and the overall aesthetics. The center stone should be well-proportioned and of a high grade, while the shank should exhibit a smooth and symmetrical split. Additionally, ensure that the ring is comfortable to wear and that the overall design complements your personal style and taste. Our engagement rings come with a unique inscribed serial number and Certificate of Authenticity that ensures your split shank ring is a genuine Gabriel & Co. creation, crafted using only the finest metals, natural diamonds and gemstones.
What is the Best Ring Setting for a Split Shank Engagement Ring?
The best ring setting for a split shank engagement ring is one that highlights and accentuates the center stone while maintaining the visual appeal of the split shank design. Popular settings include the split shank halo engagement ring, which encircles the center stone with a dazzling halo of smaller diamonds, and the split shank oval engagement ring, which showcases an elegant, elongated center stone. Ultimately, the ideal setting will depend on your personal preferences and your desired level of sparkle and sophistication.
How Do You Clean Split Shank Engagement Rings?
To keep your split shank engagement ring looking its best, clean it regularly using a gentle, non-abrasive solution. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water and let the ring soak for 20-30 minutes. Gently scrub your ring with a soft-bristled toothbrush, paying close attention to the crevices between the split shank and around the stones. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. For a more thorough cleaning take advantage of Gabriel’s complimentary, twice-a-year cleanings at your nearest Gabriel Partner Retail Store.
