The yellow gold holding the centre stone makes its colour feel even warmer. It’s a distinct choice, setting it apart from the white gold of the band and creating a strong contrast between the two metals on your finger.
The main feature is a fancy yellow, cushion-cut diamond held in a yellow gold halo of round white diamonds. The band itself is white gold. It splits at the shoulders to form two open triangles, each set with a princess-cut diamond. Every other possible surface of the shank is covered in tiny, French-pavé set diamonds, right down to a surprise blue sapphire set into the side profile.
We make this ring from solid 14K or 18K gold. The white gold sections get a layer of rhodium, which means they have that bright, silvery-white finish that won't tarnish and resists scuffs. The centre stone sits in four yellow gold prongs. All the smaller white diamonds are E/F colour and VVS clarity, set using a French pavé technique. That involves cutting tiny V-shapes into the metal itself to act as shared prongs, exposing more of each diamond to light.

You'd choose this ring for its structure. The split shank and two-tone metal make it more architectural than a simple halo design. It has a lot of presence on the hand, but the interest comes from the openwork and mix of diamond cuts, not just the size of the centre stone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this diamond ring have both yellow and white gold?
The ring uses two colours of gold to enhance the diamonds. The fancy yellow centre diamond is set in yellow gold to amplify its warm colour. The rest of the ring uses rhodium-plated white gold to provide a neutral, bright backdrop for the white accent diamonds, making them appear brighter.
Can I wear my diamond and gold engagement ring in the shower or while swimming?
We recommend removing your diamond ring before showering or swimming. Soaps, lotions, and shampoos can build up behind the stones, making them look dull. Chlorine in pools can also damage the rhodium plating and weaken the gold alloy over time, increasing the risk of losing a stone.
How should a diamond engagement ring like this fit on my finger?
Your ring should be snug enough that it won't fall off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort. You should be able to turn it on your finger. If it leaves an indent or is difficult to remove, it's too tight. We can help you find the perfect size.
What happens if I order the wrong size for my diamond ring?
You can return or exchange your ring within 30 days of receipt, as long as it's in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions. Sizing adjustments may also be possible depending on the design.
