The diamonds on the band aren't just set into the metal; they're held by tiny, shared prongs. This lets light enter from the sides, making the entire top half of the ring sparkle, not just the centre stone.
A large, round brilliant-cut diamond sits in a four-prong setting. The band itself is lined with smaller diamonds that run halfway down each side, set in a French pavé style that exposes their sides. The band is polished, about 2 mm wide, and has a slight taper as it approaches the main setting. A very subtle hidden halo of diamonds sits just below the centre stone, adding a bit of profile sparkle.
We make this ring in your choice of 14K or 18K solid gold. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys, which means it’s very durable for everyday wear. The rhodium plating over the white gold gives it a bright, silvery-white finish and extra scratch resistance. The diamonds, whether natural or lab-grown, are selected for high clarity and colour, so you won't see inclusions with the naked eye. The lab diamonds are type IIa, chemically identical to the rarest natural diamonds.

People often choose this ring for the hidden detail. From the top, it looks like a classic pavé solitaire, but from the side, you see that small circle of diamonds just under the main stone. It's a bit of sparkle that's mostly just for the person wearing it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the small French pavé diamonds on my engagement ring band fall out easily?
No, the diamonds in a French pavé setting are quite secure. Each stone is held by small, shared prongs that are part of the ring's band itself. While any pavé setting requires some care, this design is standard in fine jewellery and is built for normal daily wear.
Can I wear my gold and diamond engagement ring in the shower or when I'm washing my hands?
Yes, it's generally safe to wear your ring while showering or washing hands. Water won't harm the gold or diamonds. However, soaps, lotions, and oils can build up behind the stones and under the setting, which will dull their sparkle. We recommend regular cleaning to keep it looking its best.
How do I know what size to get for my engagement ring so it doesn't fall off?
Your ring should be snug enough that it won't fall off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort. It shouldn't spin freely on your finger. We recommend getting sized by a local jeweller for the most accurate measurement before ordering, as finger size can fluctuate.
What's the process if I need to return my engagement ring from Vanhess?
You can return your ring within 30 days of receipt for a full refund. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions. The ring must be in its original, unworn condition with all documentation to be eligible for a return.
How long does shipping take for a ring to the United States, and is it free?
