Look closely at the shank and you'll notice it doesn't stay in one piece. It parts into two thin strands, each lined with small round lab grown diamonds and both lead straight to a 1.700 ct emerald cut center. That's the idea behind this Emerald Cut Split Shank Solitaire Ring: the stone's long, stepped facets get a frame of shine without a halo crowding them. The center reads bright, clean, and eye clear with that open mirrored look emerald cuts are known for, and the gap between the strands lets light slip through underneath.

Thirty six round diamonds, 0.532 ct in all are pave set along the strands and bring the total to 2.232 ct. That's a lot of diamond weight for the money because every stone is a lab grown diamond. Mined stones at this size would push the price into a different bracket, a difference the lab grown vs mined diamond guide lays out. Pick 10K, 14K or 18K solid gold in yellow, white or rose and each ring carries a hallmark. It's IGI certified jewelry with the certificate free on request. An anniversary gift suits it well and so does a proposal or a self purchase.
