From subtle to statement, multi-row engagement rings are elegant and versatile. As the name suggests, these rings feature multiple rows in their designs. Unlike split bands, which typically have a single band that splits at the centre on either side of the stone, these rings feature anything from three to five rows. In many designs, pavé and smaller diamonds are used. Other designs have round diamonds or clustered stones.
Whether you’re considering a simple multi-row ring or want something bold and beautiful, we have put together a selection of engagement rings to give you inspiration for your custom ring design.
Ring Inspiration: Multi-Row Engagement Rings
Some stunning examples of multi-row engagement rings include the following:
Platinum Pavé Split

As part of the Cape Diamonds collection, the Multi-Row Pave Split Band ring features a round centre diamond, with four pavé rows. The platinum band pairs well with the cool tones of white diamonds, but white gold can work for a softer effect. Warmer metals such as yellow or rose gold give a bolder touch to the ring.
Two-Tone Criss-Cross

Two-tone rings are a great way to combine metals for a unique look. In this ring, rose gold is mixed with white gold, with three pavé-encrusted bands forming a criss-cross style. In the centre, a round diamond takes centre stage. This ring would work in a single metal or a combination of yellow and white gold.
Gold Double Halo

If you love bold, chunky designs, this one is sure to make a statement. A series of three pavé rows is set into a chunky gold band, with a round diamond surrounded by a double halo. This design is ideal if you want to use a smaller diamond without losing any sparkle. It would work with any metal.
Sapphire Cluster

Another bold design, this ring features five pavé rows of deep blue round and pear sapphires clustered along the bands. As a diamond alternative, sapphire is sophisticated and durable, working especially well with cool-tone metals and accent stones such as white diamonds. You could choose a more symmetrical design for the sapphire layout across the bands, or choose a single cut rather than a combination of pear and round stones.
Rose Gold Cross-Over

Cross-over rings can be bold or more subtle. In this design, three pavé-encrusted bands cross over to form loops. A fine rose gold band adds a feminine touch. This ring is a good choice for those wanting a ring without a large single diamond. It would work well with coloured diamonds, adding a row of black diamonds to contrast with the white diamonds. Platinum or yellow gold would work for the band, too.
Gold Bypass Swirl

A split band bypasses the main round diamond, flanked by two smaller diamonds on either side of this ring. On the right, the ring has a gold band at the top, with two pavé bands that become a single band as the ring continues under the diamond. On the left, a classic split band leads up to the centre diamond. The result is an eye-catching ring that has a swirl effect and plenty of sparkle.
