FAQs about Bypass Rings
What is a bypass ring?
A bypass ring is a jewelry style in which two ends of the ring loop around each other without directly connecting. They can be open rings with bypass ends of the shank, or closed rings that feature looping decorative bypass designs along the head or gallery of the ring.
The hallmark of a bypass ring is two or more looping elements that play off each other for a unique design. This may be two ends of the shank that join on opposing sides around a center stone, two rows of diamonds offset around the ring or split shank styles with intentional gaps. The two opposing design elements of a bypass ring create a stylistic conversation that can bring a trendy look to fashion and engagement styles.
Do bypass rings close?
Some bypass rings are closed traditional ring shapes that incorporate the signature looping elements through diamonds or precious metal accents. Other styles of bypass rings take the design’s namesake to heart with rings that don’t make a perfect circle but instead feature purposeful gaps in their bypass designs.
What is the history of bypass rings?
This enchanting ring style first saw popularity during the Victorian Era, when it was most commonly given as an engagement ring. Since then, these rings have been one of the top unique style choices.

What is a crossover ring?
Rings with wraparound bands in which the shape of the shank creates more of a crossing effect across the finger rather than a traditional encirclement are crossover rings, a jewelry style that’s also known as a bypass ring. In this ring design, there is at least one line of metal, gemstones or diamonds that wraps around the wearer’s finger from one corner to the other beneath the knuckle, creating a crossover effect.
These rings often have an easily identifiable X-shaped profile. Bypass rings can feature one diagonal wrap or multiple crossovers made of diamonds, gemstones or precious metals.
