About split and bypass bands rings
In these rings the band is the design. It may split into two arms, dip into a V, wrap past the stone in a bypass or double up. The stone sits in the middle of that movement.
They suit someone who wants the ring to feel designed rather than classic, and they often work well with simpler stones because the band carries the interest.
Likely to suit her if: She likes modern jewelry, architecture or movement, and may find a plain band too plain.
Common questions
What is a bypass engagement ring?
A ring where the two ends of the band slip past each other instead of meeting, so the stone seems to sit between them.
Are split shanks harder to resize?
Split and pavé bands can be harder to resize than a plain band. Ask the jeweler before buying, especially if her size is uncertain.
