Some engagement-ring details reveal themselves only after the diamond has caught your attention. A knife-edge band is one of them: instead of presenting a completely rounded or flat surface, the shank rises toward a defined ridge that gives the metal a sharper line.

Ritani currently offers seven knife-edge settings, including Milena, Juno, Agnes, Ottilie, Tallulah, Althea, and Yareli. The collection moves from polished high-set solitaires to six-prong, tulip, surprise-diamond, and diamond-accented designs, giving the same distinctive band profile several different personalities.

The Ridge Gives a Simple Band More Definition

A knife-edge band has two angled surfaces meeting along a raised line through the shank. Light catches those planes differently as the hand moves, so polished metal can create detail without relying on additional stones.
