Most people will first notice the large oval stone. But if you look from the side, you’ll see a hidden circle of small diamonds tucked just beneath it. They’re set to face outwards, catching light from an angle that’s mostly just for you.
This ring is built around a large, oval-cut centre stone held in a classic four-prong setting. A hidden halo of small diamonds wraps around the base of the setting, just below the main stone. The band itself is thin, about 2.1 mm wide, with a line of pavé-set diamonds running along the top half. These smaller stones are set in a French pavé style, with U-shaped cuts in the metal to expose their sides to the light.
This ring is cast from solid 14K or 18K gold. Because it's white gold, we plate the entire ring with rhodium, a hard, silvery-white metal from the platinum family. This rhodium plating is what gives the ring its bright, cool colour and adds a layer of scratch resistance. The 43 small accent diamonds can be either natural or lab-grown. We use high-quality lab diamonds, typically E/F colour and VS/VVS clarity, which means they're exceptionally white and clear to the naked eye.

The hidden halo is the detail that sets this ring apart. It adds sparkle from a different angle without making the top-down view feel too busy. It's a way to have a bit more intricacy that feels personal, rather than just adding more diamonds to the main halo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the hidden halo on this engagement ring sit underneath the main diamond?
The hidden halo is placed below the main diamond to add sparkle from the side profile without altering the classic look from above. This design detail adds depth and catches light from unexpected angles as you move your hand. It's a way to incorporate more diamonds while maintaining a clean, single-stone appearance from the top.
Can I wear my white gold engagement ring in the shower or when I wash my hands?
Yes, you can wear your white gold ring when washing your hands or showering. Water won't harm the gold or diamonds. However, soaps, lotions, and shampoos can build up behind the stones, especially in the pavé setting and hidden halo, making them look dull. It's best to clean it regularly to maintain its brightness.
How is an engagement ring with a 2.1 mm pavé band supposed to fit?
A ring with a 2.1 mm band should fit snugly enough that it won't slide off, but still be loose enough to go over your knuckle without a struggle. Because the pavé diamonds only go halfway down, resizing this specific ring is possible within a certain range. We recommend getting professionally sized for the most accurate fit.
What happens if I order this engagement ring and it's not the right size?
We offer a 30-day return or exchange window for our rings. If the size isn't right, just contact us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll provide a prepaid shipping label for you to send it back. We can then either resize the ring if possible or exchange it for the correct size.
