Or, you can opt for something in the middle-a ring that features a pavé band intertwining with a completely unadorned band in the metal of your choice. For added bling, designers stud these pieces with pavé diamonds so that the finished product is both eye-catching and sparkly. This can be done subtly, with one or two areas where the two pieces cross over, or the band can be tightly wound together.

One popular style, as mentioned above, is to take a split shank and simply intertwine the two bands.

There are many ways to tote a twisted engagement ring. Whether it's a twisted split shank or a single intertwined band, these infinity-like designs are whimsical, romantic, and unique. As brides continue to seek out one-of-a-kind rings, twist-shank engagement rings offer just that-a charmingly intricate look that feels distinct and special. Now, designers are making these modern baubles with a, well, twist. Have your bling-with a twist! Split shanks (that is, an engagement ring band split into two pieces) have become increasingly popular in the bridal world.
