Ring story · Classic solitaire
The solitaire, made
a little more personal.
The Split Shank Emerald Cut Diamond Solitaire by Berlinger Jewelry pairs a crisp emerald-cut lab-grown diamond with a graceful split-shank band — classic elegance with a modern, individual edge. The kind of ring that makes people audibly gasp.
Who she is
A ring for a woman with
timeless taste.
This is for someone who wants a true, classic diamond engagement ring — the timeless dream — but with a detail that makes it hers rather than off-the-shelf. She values elegance, quality, and restraint over flash. Sophisticated, considered, and quietly confident in what she likes.
Jaw-dropping sparkle with a design that whispers elegance and individuality.
It’s a ring for the woman who’s always pictured a classic solitaire — and wants one done beautifully, with a stone and a setting she’ll never tire of.
What sets it apart
Three things that make it
quietly exceptional.
01
A crisp emerald-cut diamond
The centre is an emerald-cut diamond — a step cut with long, clean lines that produces calm, mirror-like flashes rather than intense sparkle. It’s the most elegant, architectural of diamond shapes, favoured by people with refined taste. Because the cut is so open, clarity matters — which is exactly why this stone’s quality is worth noting.
Genuinely top-tier quality
D-E colour and VVS2 clarity — near-colourless and near-flawless, the quality range where an emerald cut truly shines.
02
The graceful split shank
The band splits in two as it approaches the centre stone, then rejoins — framing the diamond and drawing the eye straight to it. It’s the detail that lifts this above a plain solitaire, adding movement and individuality while keeping the overall look classic. Tapered baguette and round accent diamonds along the split add extra brilliance.
03
Lab-grown brilliance, beautifully set
The centre is a lab-grown diamond — identical to a mined stone, but traceable, conflict-free, and better value, which is what makes this level of quality (D-E, VVS2) attainable in a 2-carat emerald cut. Set in warm 14k yellow gold on a slim 2mm band, the classic-meets-modern balance is exactly right.
The maker
About Berlinger Jewelry.
Berlinger Jewelry has built a devoted following for beautifully made engagement rings that pair classic design with excellent, well-priced lab-grown diamonds.

In real life
A classic you’ll never
tire of.
A solitaire is the most enduring engagement ring style there is — this one simply adds a little individuality. The slim 2mm band and clean setting keep it comfortable and easy to pair with a wedding band later. One gentle note on emerald-cut diamonds: because the open step cut shows clarity clearly, keeping it clean is what keeps it looking its brightest — a quick occasional clean and it sparkles like new. A ring built to be loved for a lifetime.
Common questions
FAQ — what people
actually ask.
What is an emerald-cut diamond?
An emerald cut is a rectangular step cut with long, straight facets that create calm, mirror-like flashes of light rather than the intense sparkle of a round brilliant. It’s elegant, architectural, and timeless — a favourite of people with refined, understated taste. The open cut also makes a diamond look larger for its carat weight.
What does a split shank add to a solitaire?
A split shank is where the band separates into two as it nears the centre stone, then rejoins. It frames the diamond, draws the eye to it, and adds movement and individuality — turning a plain solitaire into something more personal without losing its classic elegance. Here it also carries accent diamonds for extra sparkle.
Is a lab-grown diamond as good as a mined one?
Yes — a lab-grown diamond is chemically and optically identical to a mined diamond, with the same brilliance and durability. The difference is origin: lab-grown stones are traceable, conflict-free, and better value, which is what makes this ring’s exceptional D-E colour and VVS2 clarity attainable at two carats.
Does an emerald-cut ring need special care?
Only light care. Because the emerald cut is so open and clear, it shows smudges and clarity more than a sparkly round does — so keeping it clean is the main thing to make it look its brightest. A quick occasional clean keeps it flawless. Otherwise the low, classic setting is very easy to wear every day.
