Infinity Ring Design Types Explained
The Twisting Shank Infinity Ring design sees the band of the ring itself twist almost like a spiral or rope, as it wraps around the finger. This gives a beautiful flow, which we consider a reflection of a lifelong love.
Here’s a look at the most common types of Twisting Shanks:
Interwoven Twist
The Interwoven Twist weaves multiple strands over and under each other, giving a braided effect to represent partnership and connection.
Our Petite Twist Style Pave is a jaw-dropping example of this, with its delicate 4-prong, solitaire twist style interwoven with a pave band.
The very feminine Yasmine is a modern twist on the design, with spiraling diamonds cascading down the shiny high-polish shank.
Double Twist
The Double Twist is a slightly more complex approach, creating either subtle or dramatic twists around itself at least twice. This creates a vision of strength for a life-long bond.
This design is perhaps best seen in the Lyria Bridal R3707 displays bands of intertwined satin finished leaves and sparkling white diamonds, leading towards a brilliant center stone.
Alternatively, Kayla features a glistening 3-row half eternity twist style that is wondrous under any light and a true statement of elegance. A fuller look is obtained, with accented diamonds on both sides. This way, the entire upper section of the infinity pattern is covered in diamonds. Once again, we are using Brian Gavin Signature melee diamonds. Thus, you’ll find that the sparkle factor of the accent diamonds is comparable to the center stone.
Finally, the Hemera Bridal R3967 adds a refined femininity to modern design, with its open twists of diamonds finished with an intricate milgrain detailing.
Spiral
The Spiral Infinity Ring design allows the band to wrap around the finger in a spiral, tapering or overlapping itself in moments. This continuous motion can be seen like a flowing ribbon or spirit, capturing your eternal energy.
Our 810-12 guides a winding line of melee on the shoulders of a deceptively simple Solitaire Engagement Ring. Classic and enduring, it's a throwback to the beauty of the romance of eras gone by.
If that’s not for you, consider our Spiral of Love. With a thin and tall tension design and tapered shank, it is a lovely alternative for those seeking a modern design.
Split Shank
The Split Shank Infinity Diamond Engagement Ring splits two or more separate strands, leading to the center stone. This gives a wider, airy look, representing the two paths of your lives coming together as one incredible diamond.
The Crossed Solitaire’s custom split shank with a 4-prong head and claw-like prongs is an ultra-clean, sparkling design with feminine qualities.
Or, there’s the Split Shank Rope Solitaire, which offers a more textured approach with a rope-style solitaire setting and ‘Truth’ head, which can be modified to the diamond of your choice.
More Complex Designs
We have various other signature Infinity Engagement Ring designs, such as those with the Criss Cross & Twisted Solitaires.
For example, our Lyria Bridal R3567 features four fancy marquise diamonds
wrapped in Rose Gold with sparkling twists of white diamonds that showcase a brilliant center stone of your choice.
