The centre stone isn't set on top of the band; it’s set *inside* one of the links. It's a small detail, but it's what makes the entire ring feel like one cohesive piece instead of a band with a gem on it.
The band is a series of interconnected, polished gold ovals that look like a small, flat chain. At the top, one of these links is wider, creating a frame for a single, rectangular emerald-cut stone set east-west. The links are open, so the ring feels light. As it wraps around your finger, the chain transitions into a solid, smooth band at the back for a comfortable fit.
We use solid 14-karat gold for the entire ring. That's 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that add strength and durability. This mix gives the ring its rich, warm colour but also makes it tough enough for everyday wear, which means you don't have to worry about it bending easily. It won't tarnish or discolour your skin. The stone is a very clear, emerald-cut Cubic Zirconia, a hard material that refracts light with a lot of fire.

People often choose this ring when they want a single stone but find traditional solitaires too formal. The chain link gives it a more relaxed feel, almost like a bracelet for your finger. Because the stone sits low and is protected by the link, it’s very comfortable and doesn't snag.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the open links on the Emerald Link Ring catch on clothing?
The links on the Emerald Link Ring are polished very smooth and lie flat against the finger, so they are unlikely to catch on most clothing. The central stone is also set low within its link, which helps prevent snagging on knitwear or other delicate fabrics.
Is it safe to shower or wash my hands while wearing my 14k gold ring?
Yes, it's completely safe to wash your hands or shower with your 14k solid gold ring on. Water won't harm the gold or the CZ stone. However, soaps and lotions can build up over time and dull the shine, so we recommend a gentle clean with soap and water occasionally.
How should the Emerald Link Ring fit on my finger?
The Emerald Link Ring should be snug enough that it won't slide off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort. Because the back of the band is solid, it won't stretch. We recommend getting sized by a professional jeweller to find your most accurate fit.
What happens if I order the wrong size for my Emerald Link Ring?
If your ring doesn't fit, you can return it within 30 days of purchase for a different size or a full refund. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. The ring must be in its original, unworn condition.
