Two bands are better than one.

The split band, reimagined. Two slim parallel bands of solid gold or platinum, bridged by a row of pear-cut diamonds set east-west — sideways, point outward, suspended like a row of stars between the two bands. Architectural, contemporary, quietly extraordinary.

The east-west orientation gives each pear a different silhouette to the traditional vertical setting, and a row of them in formation reads more editorial than ornamental. Worn solo, it's a wedding band with serious presence. Stacked, the gap between the two bands frames your engagement ring like it was always meant to live there.

Handcrafted to order in our Sydney workshop by our master jeweller — thirty-plus years at the bench, leading a team of designers and setters who hand-make every Deltora ring. Choose your metal, choose your diamond (natural or lab grown), and we'll bring it to life by hand.

What is an east-west setting? An east-west setting refers to a diamond placed horizontally — with its longer axis running across the finger rather than along it. Most often used with elongated cuts like ovals, pears, marquises and emeralds, the east-west orientation gives a more contemporary, less expected silhouette than the traditional vertical setting.

What is a split band wedding ring? A split band wedding ring is a single ring with the band parted into two parallel sections, joined at the diamonds (or at the back of the ring). The split design creates a distinctive contemporary look and conveniently leaves space for an engagement ring to sit between the two bands when stacked.

Will this ring sit flush against an engagement ring? Yes — the gap between the two bands is designed to accommodate an engagement ring, allowing it to sit flush in the middle. Our diamond concierge can adjust the band spacing to suit your existing engagement ring exactly.

Can it be worn as a wedding band or an engagement ring? Both. Many couples choose this style as a wedding band designed to nestle around an engagement ring; others wear it as a statement engagement ring on its own.

What are pear-cut diamonds? Pear-cut diamonds are teardrop-shaped — a hybrid of the round brilliant and marquise cuts — with a rounded end and a pointed tip. They offer the brilliance of a round with a more elongated, distinctive silhouette, and read particularly contemporary in an east-west orientation.

Is this a unisex wedding ring? The east-west split band is a contemporary, genderless design. The proportions read most often on women's hands but the silhouette is gender-neutral and is occasionally chosen by partners selecting matching pairs. Like all Deltora wedding rings, the band width can be tailored to suit any hand.

Can I customise this ring? Yes — every Deltora wedding ring is handcrafted to order. Choose your metal, your diamond type (natural or lab grown), the band width, the diamond size, and the spacing between the two bands so the ring nestles perfectly around your engagement ring.

Which metal looks best? All four work beautifully. Yellow gold (pictured) reads warmest and most editorial. White gold and platinum read coolest and most architectural. Rose gold reads softest. Personal preference rules.
