Also called a crossover ring, bypass rings are unique in that the ends of the ring don’t meet.

While the concept sounds and looks modern, bypass rings and bracelets have been popular since the Victorian era. Today’s distinctive designs are created with modern aesthetics in mind.

What is a Bypass Ring?
In a bypass ring (or bracelet), the band ends twist and overlap instead of forming a perfect, continuous circle. Bypass-style jewelry can incorporate a variety of precious metals and gemstones.

Is There a Special Meaning?
One school of thought says that the style references two individuals who come together to form a new union. Another meaning—fluidity and individuality.

Any Famous Examples?
President John F. Kennedy proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier with a diamond and emerald bypass ring in 1953. It’s said Jackie designed the ring herself.
