What are your opinions on split shank engagement rings, pros, cons? Do you prefer them with one band or two? If you have any pics of your split shank please share.
 
I don't have a split shank but considered one. I like like took of tapered split shanks not ones with parrallel shanks. But I like having two rings on my ring finger, stacked and flush. So for me it wasn't an option for my engagment ring. I'd get one as a RHR in a heartbeat though.

I love them but it is hard to get a matching WB. I think if the bands arem micro pave then a thin micropave band can work. My original e-ring was a split shank with plain metal, no diamonds, and it looked nice with a diamond half eternity.

Here are a few pictures of my set. I like mine with just one band, but I know some sets look great with 2.

This is the Allegro from Whiteflash and the matching band fits perfectly against the ering. I love the look of a split shank as it widens toward the stone. It gives a little more finger coverage, too.

There are a lot of different styles when it comes to the split shank! The split can begin from the edges of the center stone or from the center of the ring. I think it gives extra dimension to the ring as a whole and I am a fan of the look. The only thing will come with the band. If you want a flush look, you will probably need to make custom bands in order to match your setting perfectly, which to me is not necessarily a con...
