The bar setting leaves the sides of each diamond open. This lets light enter from more angles than a traditional channel set band, creating more flash as you move your hand. You get a really bright, open look from every stone.
You're looking at a solid gold band with five round brilliant-cut diamonds lined up across the top. They're held in place by a bar setting—those polished walls of gold you see between each stone. This exposes most of the diamond's circumference, and the band itself is a simple, high-polish finish that tapers slightly towards the bottom for comfort.
We make this ring in your choice of solid 14k or 18k gold. 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold, which means it’s very durable for everyday wear. 18k is 75% pure gold, offering a richer feel. The diamonds are VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are invisible without 10x magnification. If you choose white gold, we plate it with rhodium. This gives it that bright, silvery-white colour and protects it from scratches, but it will need to be re-plated every few years.

People choose this ring for the clean, architectural look of the bar setting. It’s a modern alternative to a classic prong or channel-set band. The design keeps the diamonds secure while still letting in a lot of light from the sides, so the stones look bright and open.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the diamonds in this bar-set wedding band snag on my clothes?
The diamonds in this bar-set ring are less likely to snag than those in a prong setting. The metal bars on each side create a smooth wall that protects the diamond's edge. You might still feel it on delicate knits, but it's generally a very secure and practical design for daily wear.
Can I shower or wash my hands while wearing my gold and diamond wedding band?
Yes, you can wash your hands and shower with this ring on. Water and gentle soap won't harm the gold or diamonds. However, we recommend taking it off to avoid buildup from soaps, lotions, and shampoos, which can dull the diamonds' sparkle over time.
How should a five-stone wedding band fit on my finger?
A five-stone band should fit snugly enough that it won't slide off, but loosely enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort. Since the top is wider and won't spin as easily as a plain band, you want to ensure it's comfortable and sits upright without being too tight.
What happens if I order the wrong size and need to return my ring?
We offer a 30-day return policy for unworn rings. If you need to make a return, just email us at returns@vanhess.ca. We’ll send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions to make the process as simple as possible for you.
