The halo isn't just a simple circle of diamonds. It’s a cluster of twelve individual stones, each held by its own prongs, which creates a scalloped, almost floral shape around the centre diamond. It gives the ring a softer, more detailed profile than a standard halo.
A round brilliant-cut diamond sits at the centre, held up by four prongs. It’s encircled by a halo of twelve smaller diamonds, each in its own prong setting, giving the cluster a flower-like edge. More pavé-set diamonds run down the shoulders of the 2mm band. The rest of the band is smooth, solid gold, polished to a mirror finish. From this angle, you can see our 'VANHESS' mark inside.
We build this ring in your choice of 14K or 18K solid white gold. Gold is naturally soft, so we alloy it for strength, which means it’s durable enough for daily wear. The ring is then plated with rhodium—a hard, bright metal from the platinum family. This plating gives the ring its bright lustre and protects it from scratches. The diamonds on the band are set using a French pavé technique, with V-shaped cuts that expose the sides of each stone to let in maximum light.

This design gets you a lot of visual impact. The halo makes the centre stone appear larger, and the scalloped edge gives it a softer, more intricate look than a simple round halo. It’s a way to have a substantial, diamond-heavy ring that doesn't feel bulky on the finger.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a pavé-set engagement ring like this be resized?
Yes, this ring can typically be resized up or down by one full size. Resizing a pavé band is more complex than a plain one, as we need to ensure the small stones remain secure. For larger adjustments, we may need to remake the band entirely to maintain its integrity.
Can I shower while wearing my C2392X diamond engagement ring?
Yes, you can shower with your diamond ring. Water and mild soap won't harm the gold or diamonds. However, soaps and lotions can build up behind the stones, dulling their sparkle over time. We recommend removing it or cleaning it regularly to keep the diamonds looking their best.
Why does my white gold engagement ring need re-plating?
White gold is naturally a pale grey-yellow colour. We plate it with rhodium for a bright white finish and extra scratch resistance. This layer wears away over time, typically every 1-3 years depending on wear. We can re-plate it for you in our studio to restore its original brightness.
What happens if I order the wrong size for my 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 guide you through the process for a size exchange or full refund.
How long does shipping take for an engagement ring to the United States?
We offer free shipping on qualifying orders to Canada and the US, which usually takes 5-15 business days to arrive. You'll receive a tracking number once your ring has been shipped from our Coquitlam studio, so you can follow its journey right to your door.
