The six prongs holding the diamond are set inside a polished, scalloped base. It's a vintage-inspired detail that makes the small stone look more substantial and gives the ring a flower-like profile when you view it from the side.
A very fine, polished 18K gold band holds a single, round brilliant-cut diamond. The stone is secured by six small, rounded prongs that sit on a scalloped, almost petal-like base. This setting raises the diamond up just enough to catch light from all sides, but the ring's profile stays quite low and practical. The band itself is a simple, delicate wire that’s consistent in thickness all the way around.
We make this ring with solid 18K gold, not plated. 18K gold is 75% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength, which means it has a rich colour and is very durable for a piece you'll wear often. The 0.130 carat centre stone is a natural diamond, so it has the specific character that only comes from the earth. The entire piece is polished to a high shine, from the thin band to the tips of the prongs.

People choose this ring when they want a real diamond but in a very delicate, almost-not-there design. It’s a good fit for someone with small hands, or for anyone who works with their hands and can't have a high-set stone getting in the way. It’s a classic solitaire, just scaled down.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the setting on the Whisper Natural Diamond Ring look like a flower?
The setting is designed with a scalloped base beneath the six prongs, which creates a petal-like effect. This is a traditional style of setting, sometimes called a "buttercup," that helps make a smaller diamond appear a bit larger and more prominent on the band.
Can I wear my 18K gold diamond ring in the shower or while washing my hands?
Yes, it's safe to wear your 18K gold ring in the shower. Water won't harm the gold or the diamond. However, soap, shampoo, and lotions can leave a film on the diamond's surface, which will dull its sparkle over time. We recommend cleaning it periodically to maintain its shine.
How should a delicate ring like the Whisper Natural Diamond Ring fit on my finger?
A ring should fit snugly enough that it won't fall off, but be loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort. Because this ring has a very thin band, it might feel slightly looser than a wider ring of the same size, so keep that in mind when choosing.
What happens if I need to return the Whisper ring because it's the wrong size?
You can return the ring within 30 days of purchase for any reason, including incorrect sizing. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions. The ring must be in its original, unworn condition.
How long does shipping take for a ring to the United States?
Shipping to the United States is free on orders over $60 CAD and typically takes between 5 and 15 business days to arrive. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched from our Coquitlam studio so you can follow its journey.
