Solitaire Ring

The band on this ring is so fine, it's almost like a single thread of gold. It makes the classic four-prong solitaire setting look like it’s floating just above your finger, especially when it catches the light.

You're looking at a very fine, round band made of polished yellow gold. It supports a single, round-cut cubic zirconia. The stone is held in place by a traditional four-prong basket setting that lifts it up off the band. This elevation lets light pass through the stone from all sides, showing off its facets. The entire ring has a smooth, reflective finish, from the prongs to the simple, unadorned band.

We make this ring from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength, which means the super-fine band is surprisingly durable and won't easily lose its shape. It also means the colour won't fade and it's safe for most sensitive skin. The stone is a brilliant-cut Cubic Zirconia, chosen for its clarity and sparkle. And if you're looking for the real thing, we can make this exact ring with a natural diamond. Just send us a message.

Material: 14K Solid Gold
Stone: Cubic Zirconia
Finish: Polished
Sold as: Single ring
Warranty: 2 year warranty

People choose this ring when they want the classic solitaire look without any of the bulk. The band is as thin as we can make it while keeping it strong, so it feels like you're barely wearing anything. It's a great first 'real' ring or an easy piece to stack with others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the thin band on the 14K gold Solitaire Ring bend easily?

The 14K gold Solitaire Ring's band is designed to be durable for everyday wear. While any fine ring can bend under extreme force, the 14-karat gold alloy (58.3% pure gold) provides significant strength. We've made it as delicate as possible without compromising its structure for normal use.

Can I wear my gold Solitaire Ring in the shower or while swimming?

Yes, you can wear your gold Solitaire Ring in the shower. Solid 14K gold won't be damaged by water. However, we recommend taking it off before swimming in pools or oceans, as chlorine and salt water can be harsh on the metal and stone over time, potentially dulling the finish.

How should a solitaire ring fit my finger?

A solitaire ring should slide over your knuckle with a little bit of resistance and sit comfortably at the base of your finger. It shouldn't be so loose that it spins constantly or risks falling off, nor so tight that it's difficult to remove or causes indentation. A proper fit ensures the stone stays centred.

What happens if I need to return my Solitaire Ring?

We accept returns on the Solitaire Ring within 30 days of delivery. 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 to qualify for a full refund. We want you to be completely happy with your piece.

How long does shipping take for a ring to the United States?

Shipping to the US is free for orders over $60 CAD and typically takes 5-15 business days to arrive. Once your ring is shipped, we'll send you a tracking number so you can follow its journey. All our pieces are sent out from our studio here in Coquitlam, BC.
