Custom Split Shank Engagement Ring
Item #1440 $6,983 Price does not include center stoneEngagement Ring Description
Whether you can visit our Bellevue, WA showroom personally or you’d prefer to correspond online, we have the tools, skills, and experience to create a stunning piece of fine custom jewelry for you. Once we know what styles and features you want to include in your ring, we’ll develop a design in CAD, and you can revise this as much as possible until it’s perfect for you in every way.
Center Setting
The round brilliant cut diamond at the top of this ring is one carat, although the design can be adjusted to accommodate stones of varying sizes. It’s held in place by four platinum prongs that rise up smoothly from the split shank below. They feature squared outer edges as well, which creates a more angular look for the center setting despite the perfectly round shape of the diamond. Diamond Engagement Rings
Band Design and Diamond Accents
Round brilliant cut accent diamonds begin at the mid-point on either side of the band, and they continue up in two rows all the way along the sides of the prongs holding the center diamond. The band itself splits a little way above where the diamonds begin, and the two strands that form gradually move away from each other to ease the transition into the main setting.

Another strand splits off the fronts of the ring even closer to the center, and each of these passes below the main diamond, crossing over its counterpart from the opposite side before joining the prongs of the main setting as well. All of these accent diamonds are lined with milgrain beading, and that helps give the ring its overwhelmingly classical aesthetic as well as a nice, balanced feel.

Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
