Split shank lab-grown engagement ring cost

How much does a split shank lab-grown engagement ring cost?

Short answer: at Lavora Diamonds, a split shank ring is priced on the solitaire estimate for your center, plus the split band. A 2 carat oval or round lab-grown solitaire (D–E color, VS1+ clarity) in 14K yellow gold is estimated at $2,175–$2,425 complete, and a 3 carat is $2,625–$2,925 on our ring price estimator. The split shank is quoted on your specs above that solitaire base.

In a split shank, the band divides into two thinner bands as it reaches the center stone. Send a photo of the split you like, plain or pavé, and we model it in 3D so you can check the width and look before anything is made. Our default center is D–E color with VS1+ clarity, quoted on the exact stone you choose. Complete engagement rings have a $2,000 minimum.

Center sizes for a split shank ring

Measurements below come from IGI-graded lab-grown stones in our supplier feed, October 2026.

Center	Face-up size
2ct oval	about 9.9–10.6 mm long, 7.0–7.2 mm wide
2ct round	about 8.0–8.2 mm across
3ct oval	about 11.4–12.1 mm long, 8.0–8.2 mm wide
3ct round	about 9.2–9.4 mm across

A split shank widens near the center to frame it. We confirm the exact millimeters on the stone you choose, and you check the split width in your 3D render before production.

Buying tips

• Know what you are adding: a split band uses more metal than a single thin band, so the solitaire rows above are your base and the split shank is quoted on top.
• Plain or pavé: a plain split keeps more of the budget in the center stone, and pavé on the split adds cost. See pavé band prices.
• Stay in 14K gold: 18K gold and platinum cost more. See 14K vs 18K vs platinum.
• Plan ahead: standard delivery is 4–5 weeks after 3D approval and payment. A rush is $250 for 2–3 weeks.
