Bypass Ring

A bypass ring features a design where the two ends of the band curve around each other without meeting, creating an elegant open-ended look that 'bypasses' rather than connects.

This distinctive style can be subtle or dramatic, with the band ends sometimes holding diamonds or gemstones at their tips. The bypass design creates visual interest and can make fingers appear longer and more elegant. It's often used in both engagement rings and fashion rings.

The bypass style dates back to Victorian jewelry and has remained popular due to its unique, artistic appearance and comfortable fit. Modern interpretations may feature twisted bands, contrasting metals, or diamond accents along the curves.
