The band doesn't just hold the main diamond; it splits into two twisting ribbons of smaller stones that curve up to meet it. It's a design that feels like it's in motion, even when it's perfectly still on your finger.
The focus is a round brilliant-cut diamond held in a six-prong basket. Coming up to meet it, the polished band splits into two twisting ribbons on each side. The top ribbon on each side is channel-set with a row of round diamonds. A second, finer ribbon of bead-set diamonds follows the curve just below it. The metal is rhodium-plated for a bright white finish that matches the stones.
This ring is cast in solid gold—you can choose 14k or 18k. We often use 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold, for its durability in everyday rings. The entire ring is then plated in rhodium, a platinum-group metal. This gives it that intensely bright, silvery-white colour and adds a layer of scratch resistance. The centre diamond is a near-colourless E/F grade with VVS clarity, which means it's exceptionally clean and bright, with no inclusions you can see.

You'd choose this ring for the complexity of the band. It's not just a single row of diamonds; the split, twisting shank creates layers of sparkle. It gives you the look of a wider, more substantial ring but with more detail and negative space than a solid band.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the rhodium plating on my white gold diamond ring wear off over time?
Yes, the rhodium plating on any white gold ring will eventually wear from friction, especially on the palm side. We offer a two-year warranty that covers this, and we can always re-plate the ring here at our studio in Coquitlam to restore its bright white finish.
Can I shower every day while wearing my gold and diamond engagement ring?
We recommend taking your diamond ring off before you shower. While water won't harm the gold or diamonds, soap scum and conditioner can build up behind the settings. This film dulls the stones' sparkle and can be tricky to clean out from the intricate band.
How does a split shank diamond ring fit compared to a solid band of the same width?
A split shank ring often feels more secure and stable on the finger than a solid band of the same width. The open space in the design allows for a bit of airflow and prevents the ring from spinning as much, keeping the centre stone upright and centred.
What happens if my partner and I order the wrong size for this diamond engagement ring?
You can return or exchange the ring within 30 days of receiving it, 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 walk you through the process for a refund or resize.
