If you’re looking for engagement rings that are modern without being too over the top, rop band rings are a great choice. As their name implies, these rings have a roped band. The band itself acts as a unique detail, meaning that the rest of the design can be as simple or complex as you like. For minimal rings, a classic solitaire works well. For more complex rings, twisted pave or criss-cross makes the ring stand out. Timeless styles like split-band or five-stone work equally well with rope band engagement rings.
Considering this style for your custom ring design? Let’s take a look a look at some stunning examples to help with your ring inspo.

Minimal Oval

Oval diamonds are a classic choice that never goes out of style. They are flattering on everyone, with a minimal look that works well in just about every design. With a rope band, the focus can stay on the centre stone, adding a little more visual detail. This ring would be perfect in any metal. The balance of white gold and diamond keeps it extra subtle.
Criss-Cross Solitaire

Criss-cross rings are modern, stylish, and perfect for anyone wanting something more unique. This ring features a series of roped bands that cross across your finger. The bezel setting is roped, too, adding even more detail to the ring. A round solitaire adds the final touch. The balance of yellow gold and white diamonds makes this a stunner.
Rose Five-Stone

Five-stone rings are a beautiful mix between three-stone and cluster, with two stones on either side of the main stone, and a smaller stone graduating towards the band. The balance of tiny diamonds, a large centre diamond, and a fine roped band gives this ring a symmetrical look. Rose gold adds softness, but it would work with any metal.
Pave Twist

Twisted bands remain a timeless choice in many designs. The combination of pave twists and a rope band makes this ring highlight the centre stone in a way that is not overpowering. The result is a beautiful ring with plenty of swirls. It would work well in any metal, whether you prefer cool or warm tones.
Oval Split-Band

Split-band rings are another timeless style, working with plain, pave, and roped bands. In this ring, a yellow gold rope band leads to an oval brilliant cut diamond that delivers maximum sparkle. The result is a ring that has a modern take on a classic favourite.
Bezel Hexagon

Hexagons and other geometric designs are a must for those who prefer something a little different. These rings may make a bolder statement, but they can still be fairly simple with the right setting. Bezels are a great way to keep the focus on the centre stone. With a delicate rose gold band, the result is a modern, feminine ring.
