For those who prefer engagement rings that have a touch of romance and symbolism, interlocking engagement rings are the perfect choice. At a glance, these rings closely resemble swirl rings. Unlike curved band designs, what sets interlocking rings aside is the way they connect the band and the stone. Most interlocking designs feature a single stone in the centre. Others feature added detail, such as pave, additional smaller stones, two-tone bands, or uniquely designed bands.
What makes interlocking designs a great choice for your engagement ring? For starters, this style is versatile, with many ways to connect the band and stone. But the biggest reason to love these rings is that they are feminine, romantic, and symbolic, representing your eternal connection to your loved one.
Fall in Love With These Romantic Interlocking Engagement Rings
In this engagement ring inspiration guide, we’ve rounded up some gorgeous interlocking rings to inspire your custom ring design. Here are just a few ways that you can bring in connective elements.
Two Tone Trinity

Two-tone rings are a great way to add visual detail to your ring. Whichever metals you choose, the balance between two metals helps to highlight details such as pave. It can also make smaller stones look bigger. This ring features a simple rose gold band with two small diamonds on each end. A white gold band is entwined, with a series of pave diamonds and a small centre diamond. This ring can be created as a single ring or as a wedding set, with both rings locked together.
Round Platinum Swirl

In this design, a split platinum band leads up to a swirl in the centre, with pave diamonds set within the ends of the band. The centre diamond is flanked by two small diamonds on either side. If you love designs such as wrap-around rings but want something more classic rather than modern, this ring is the perfect blend of wrap-around and swirl.
Criss-Cross Platinum

This design adds a touch of geometric detail, with a criss-cross band leading up to a solitaire diamond. Woven between the solid band is a delicate pave band that runs throughout the ring. The result is a ring that is modern enough to be unusual, yet elegant enough to not be too flashy. If you want more detail, you could replace the centre diamond with a coloured diamond or gem, use black or other coloured diamonds for the pave band or go for a two-tone style.
Gold Pave Knot

This ring is ultra-feminine, with an elegant design that adds plenty of sparkle. If you’re looking for a ring design that does not include large stones, this will be perfect. The knot effect ensures that every stone will catch the light. The visual detail of this ring is balanced by a delicate gold band. It would work with any other metal but the balance of yellow gold and white diamonds is especially pretty.
Rose Gold Infinity

Infinity bands are ideal for interlocking engagement rings. By their design, they already feature connected loops. In this ring, a series of pave-encrusted loops come together to meet a cathedral solitaire. You could look at adding more detail to this ring, including a hidden halo. The combination of soft rose gold, pave diamonds, and a classic round solitaire results in a ring that will always turn heads.
Gold Pave Tangles

Another good pick for those looking for rings that don’t feature large stones, this tangle design is made up of a series of pave-encrusted bands in a channel setting. A solid gold split band balances the number of strands in the ring. This design would work well in any metal and you could even replace the white diamonds with coloured diamonds if you want something very bold. Softer shades of metal are ideal, however, as they don’t overshadow the pave-encrusted bands.
