Bypass Ring Setting

A bypass ring setting is a mounting where the shank arms cross, sweep past, or wrap around the center seat instead of meeting in a simple straight solitaire shank. On this hub, that means blank settings / semi-mounts you fill—not finished rings with a center stone already set unless a listing says otherwise.

No. This hub is for bypass settings / semi-mounts. Center stones are not included unless a listing clearly says otherwise—confirm labeling and photos on each SKU.

Some bypass mountings have two seats (toi et moi / dual-stone layouts), while others have a single center seat. Read the title and stone-count notes on each listing—do not assume every bypass setting is built for two stones.

Bypass describes the crossing or sweeping shank silhouette. Three-stone bypass layouts add dedicated side seats around a center—browse /collections/three-stone-bypass-ring-settings when that layout is the goal. Euro shank is a different profile choice (often a flattened inner rim)—see /collections/euro-shank-rings-wedding-engagement-and-anniversary-bands. Confirm each listing’s actual construction.

“Without stones” here means the center seat is blank unless the listing says otherwise. Many bypass semi-mounts still include accent stones on the arms or near the head.

Confirm accent inclusion and center inclusion separately on each product page—do not assume a blank center photo means no accents ship.
