Starlight Arc Gold Ring

This isn't a symmetrical crown. The stones are all different sizes and set at varying heights, creating an uneven arc across the top of the band. It's designed to look like a scattered handful of stars instead of a perfectly straight line.

The top half of the band is a row of tiny, polished gold beads, a texture that continues down the sides of the ring. The bottom of the shank is smooth and polished for a comfortable fit. Sitting above the beaded row is an arc of nine round-cut cubic zirconia, each held in place by small prongs. The stones are arranged in an intentionally irregular pattern, creating a jagged silhouette that catches light from multiple angles.

This ring is made from solid 14k gold, not plated. 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals, which means it's strong enough for a piece you'll wear often, resisting the scratches and dents that can happen with softer, purer gold. This durability also means it won't tarnish or turn your skin a different colour. The stones are Cubic Zirconia, which are hard and have a clarity that won't cloud over time, so they'll keep their brightness with just basic cleaning.

Material: 14k Solid Gold
Stones: Cubic Zirconia
Finish: Polished
Band Style: Beaded top, smooth shank
Sold as: Single ring

The arc is the whole point. It's shaped to curve around the setting of an engagement ring or sit flush against another band, adding texture and light without creating a bulky stack. It closes the gap that a straight band would leave. Worn by itself, it just looks like a delicate crown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the prongs on the Starlight Arc Gold Ring catch on my clothes?

The prongs are designed to be low-profile, but any prong-set ring can snag on delicate fabrics like knits or lace. We polish them to be as smooth as possible, but it's a good habit to be a bit mindful when you're putting on a sweater.

Can I shower or wash my hands while wearing my 14k gold Starlight Arc Ring?

Yes, you can absolutely wash your hands or shower with your 14k gold ring. Gold itself is fine in water. The main issue is that soap, lotions, and oils can build up behind the stones, making them look dull. A quick scrub with a soft toothbrush and some dish soap will fix that.

How is a contour ring like the Starlight Arc supposed to fit with another ring?

A contour ring like the Starlight Arc is made to sit flush against another ring, tracing its curve. It's ideal for pairing with a solitaire to eliminate the gap between the bands. You can wear it with the arc facing up or down, depending on the look you want.

What happens if I need to return the Starlight Arc Gold Ring because it doesn't fit?

You can return the ring for any reason within 30 days of receiving it. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. The ring just needs to be in its original, unworn condition when you send it back.

How long does free shipping to the US take for an order like the Starlight Arc Gold Ring?

Free shipping on qualifying orders to the US and Canada typically takes 5-15 business days. We offer free shipping on orders over $60 CAD to Canada/US and over $110 CAD to the UK/EU. You'll get a tracking number by email once it's on its way.
