The centre of this ring isn't a standard setting. It's a tiny sunburst, made from a circle of twelve small gold beads that radiate out from the stone. It gives the whole piece a really nice texture when you see it up close.
You're looking at a slim, solid gold band with a polished finish. It's completely smooth until you get to the top, where a small, round cubic zirconia sits. The stone is held in the middle of a halo of twelve little gold posts, each with a rounded tip, like a tiny stylized sun or a daisy. The band itself is quite delicate and has a slight curve on the edges.
This ring is cast from solid 14 karat gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength, which means it's tough enough for you to wear all the time without it bending out of shape. It also means the gold colour won't rub off or tarnish. The centre stone is a cubic zirconia, a man-made crystal that has a fire and sparkle very similar to a diamond. It's hard and durable for everyday wear.

Some rings are big and get in the way, but this one is really low-profile. The band is thin and the sunburst setting sits almost flush against your finger. It's a good choice if you want something you can wear without thinking about it, or if you want to stack it next to other rings without it looking bulky.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the sunburst design on the 14K gold Sun Ring snag on my clothes?
The Sun Ring's design is low-profile, so it's unlikely to snag on most fabrics. The twelve gold beads around the stone are short and rounded, and the entire setting sits close to the band. While you should always be mindful with delicate knits, it’s made to be comfortable for daily wear.
Is it safe to wear my 14K gold Sun Ring in the shower or when I wash my hands?
Yes, you can wear your solid 14K gold ring in the shower and while washing your hands. Water won't harm it, but soap and lotions can build up behind the setting and dull the stone's sparkle. We recommend cleaning it gently with a soft brush and mild soap every few weeks.
How should the Sun Ring fit if I want to stack it with my other rings?
For stacking, you'll want the Sun Ring to fit snugly but not too tightly, in the same size as your other rings. Its slim, straight band is designed to sit flush against other bands without creating a gap. If you're between sizes, we generally recommend sizing down for a secure stacking fit.
What happens if I order the Sun Ring and it doesn't fit correctly?
If your Sun Ring doesn't fit, you can return it within 30 days 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 for the return to be processed.
How long does free shipping take for the Sun Ring to get to the United States?
Free shipping to the US and Canada on orders over $60 CAD typically takes between 5 and 15 business days to arrive. You'll get a tracking number once your order has been dispatched from our Coquitlam studio. We also offer expedited shipping options at checkout.
