Vintage Split Shank Engagement Rings

Vintage split shank engagement rings feature a band that divides as it approaches the center stone, framing it with two graceful arms rather than a single band. Found across the Victorian, Art Deco, and Mid-Century eras, these authentic originals showcase the versatility of skilled handcraft — from delicate Victorian gold work with intricate engraving to bold Art Deco platinum geometry and clean Mid-Century yellow gold styles. Each authentic original is selected for its character, condition, and distinctive design — one of a kind originals no longer made today.
