What is a twisted band engagement ring?
A twisted band engagement ring is a ring that features a twisted shank, meaning the part of the ring that leads up to the shoulder and gallery. Twisted shanks can either be twisted throughout the entire band, or 3/4 or 1/2 of the band. Alternatively, twisted engagement rings can just feature a single subtle twist around the centre stone, working to accentuate the placement of the gemstone.

When choosing the perfect twisted band engagement ring, consider whether you prefer a full eternity band or half eternity. Bands that twist all the way around the shank have an organic look, but if you wanted something more subtle you could consider a shank that just twists around the head of the ring. Ultimately, choose the style that speaks to your personality and style the most.
Best metals for twisted band engagement rings
For a twisted band engagement ring, we recommend only the most durable precious metals as you don’t want the distinct shape of the twist to bend out of shape and potentially cause the gemstone setting to become loose. Metals such as platinum, and 18ct yellow gold and rose gold are excellent choices to craft a twisted band with, as they are very durable. Platinum is particularly hard wearing, and often is the best metal to use for intricate shapes. 18ct white gold is also a great choice, however because the metal needs replating every couple of years or so it can be a metal that requires a little maintenance to keep its brilliant look.
