The centre diamond is held by six prongs that curve up and out, forming a scalloped basket that looks like the petals of a flower. It gives a classic solitaire a distinct profile, especially when you see it from the side.
This is a solitaire ring with a solid, high-polish band that tapers as it approaches the centre stone. The round brilliant-cut diamond is secured in a six-prong setting. These prongs create a crown-like shape around the diamond’s edge, framing the stone with small points of metal. The band itself is completely smooth, drawing all the attention to the diamond and its unique basket.
We make this ring in your choice of 14K or 18K gold, then plate it with rhodium. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold, mixed with alloys for durability, which means it’s tough enough for a lifetime of daily wear. 18K gold is 75% pure, offering a slightly more substantial feel. The rhodium plating, which is from the platinum family, gives the ring its bright white finish and an extra layer of scratch resistance.

You'll choose this ring if you want a classic solitaire but with more detail in the setting itself. The six-prong 'buttercup' basket adds visual interest from every angle and feels more considered than a standard prong setting, without adding the busyness of extra stones on the band.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this engagement ring have six prongs instead of four?
The six-prong setting on this ring provides extra security for the centre diamond compared to a four-prong design. It also creates a more rounded, symmetrical frame around the stone. Because there are more of them, each individual prong can be finer, covering less of the diamond and letting more light pass through.
Can I wear my gold and diamond engagement ring in the shower?
It's best to remove your engagement ring before showering, swimming, or working out. Soaps, lotions, and sweat can cause buildup under the setting, which will dull your diamond's sparkle over time. Taking it off is the easiest way to keep the stone clean and the ring secure.
How does the tapered band on this engagement ring affect sizing?
The band is designed for comfort, starting wider at the base and tapering where it meets the setting. We size our rings based on the measurement at the bottom of the band, so you should order your regular ring size. The taper just makes it feel less bulky between your fingers.
What happens if I order the wrong size for my engagement ring?
You can return or exchange your ring for a different size within 30 days of receiving it, provided it's in its original, unworn condition. Just send an email to us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll provide a prepaid shipping label to make the process simple.
