With a look that is modern and sophisticated, crossover engagement rings are an excellent choice if you’re looking for something contemporary. These rings are similar to twisted band rings. Some feature a split shank design while others have an infinity style. Unlike other styles, what sets the crossover ring aside is that the bands cross each other. Many of these rings feature pave diamonds, with some also featuring one or more diamonds as well. Whichever style and metal you choose, one thing is for sure… crossover engagement rings are a stunning choice.
Gorgeous Crossover Engagement Rings
To help you find some inspiration for your ring, here are some of our favourite crossover engagement rings.
Asymmetrical Twists

One of the most popular crossover rings features four or five bands layered in asymmetrical twists. These bands include solid metal as well as pave bands. Some are two-tone, while others are a single metal, such as this example in white gold or platinum. This four-band ring adds lots of sparkle without being over the top. It’s a great choice if you’re not into huge flashy rings.
Pave Solitaire

Adding a single diamond can add plenty of impact to this type of ring. Ideally, you want no more than two crossed bands to avoid having the solitaire diamond get lost in the looping bands. In this ring, a plain band crosses over a pave band, with a centre diamond positioned in the centre. If you’re looking for more colour, you could try this ring in yellow or rose gold or even opt for a two-tone band or a coloured diamond or your favourite gemstone in the centre.
Two-Tone

While we’re on the topic of two-tone rings, this is a great example of how you can add subtle colour to your ring. In this design, a delicate rose gold band crosses over a platinum band, which twists around a centre diamond. The combination of warm and cool-toned metals, pave stones and centre stone strike the perfect contrast without being too flashy or over the top.
Three Stone

Three stone rings remain one of the most romantic, symbolic rings of all time. These rings symbolise your life together – your past, present and future. As a ring style, three stone or trinity rings are very diverse, with many different designs featuring triple stones of the same size or with a larger centre stone and two smaller flanking stones. This ring features a crossed yellow gold band that wraps around the three stones in a gentle twist.
Rose Gold

For a classic crossover, this ring is perfect. Two delicate rose gold bands encrusted with tiny pave diamonds meet at the front and back in a perfect cross. This ring is great for layering. It is minimal, simple and feminine. If you’re not into conventional ring styles, this is a great choice. Although rose gold adds an elegant touch, any type of metal works well. You could even go for two-tone, with bands in rose and white gold.
Baguette Cross

The baguette crossover has become a popular choice in recent years, with many celebrities opting for this bold ring style. It also features a classic cross. In this design, the band is wide, with small baguette diamonds surrounded by pave stones.
Tension Set

Tension set rings are another versatile ring style. They are modern and unique, making them perfect for those who veer away from traditional styles. In this design, the bands do not fully intersect. Instead, they cross over a centre diamond without touching.
If you’re considering this ring style, custom ring designs are the best way to plan the type of ring you’ve always wanted, right down to the metal, stone and overall design. Contact Cape Diamonds today to find out more about creating your very own crossover engagement ring.
