A split shank engagement ring has a band that divides into two strands as it approaches the center stone, creating an open space on either side of the head. The split adds width and presence at the top of the ring while keeping the band under the finger slim and comfortable.

Split shanks suit buyers who want a ring with more visual weight than a solitaire, who are setting a larger center stone or a halo and want the band to balance it, and who like a design with some architecture. The two strands are often pavé-set with small diamonds, which doubles the sparkle along the band.

Diamond Domain split shank rings use an IGI-certified lab grown center diamond in F–G color and VS1–VS2 clarity, with any pavé accents matched in color. Settings are available in 10K, 14K and 18K gold, platinum, and custom 22K or 24K gold.

Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds with the same hardness and brilliance as mined stones, and they are priced well below them at the same grade. A split shank frames a large center beautifully, and lab grown pricing makes that larger center realistic.

Every ring includes free engraving, a lifetime warranty, free insured worldwide shipping, free US return shipping and 30-day returns.

Frequently asked questions

What is a split shank engagement ring?

A split shank ring has a band that separates into two strands near the center stone, leaving a gap on each side of the diamond. The split widens the top of the ring and gives the design a more sculptural look. The band is usually plain or pavé-set along both strands.

How much does a split shank lab grown diamond ring cost?

Split shank lab grown diamond engagement rings at Diamond Domain start at $549. A split shank uses slightly more metal and often more pavé stones than a plain band, but the center diamond remains the main cost. Lab grown centers are priced far below mined diamonds of the same IGI grade.

Is a split shank ring comfortable and durable?

Yes. The band is a single piece under the finger and only splits near the top, so it wears like a standard ring. The split sections are solid gold or platinum, and every ring is covered by our lifetime warranty.

Is the center diamond in a split shank ring certified?

Yes. Every center stone is a lab grown diamond certified by IGI, with the report number laser-inscribed on the girdle. Our standard center grade is F–G color and VS1–VS2 clarity; other grades are available on request.

Can a split shank ring be sized, returned or exchanged?

The band under the finger is a single band, so a jeweler can adjust the size. If the ring does not fit on arrival you have 30 days to return or exchange it, and return shipping inside the US is free.
