How do I care for my Vanhess ring?

Clean your ring gently with warm water and mild soap using a soft brush. Avoid exposing gold and silver jewellery to harsh chemicals, chlorine, or perfume. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching.

Classic Stacking Band

The outer edge has a series of small, notched segments, like the fluted bezel of a watch. It’s a texture that catches the light from dozens of different angles, creating a constant, subtle flicker as your hand moves.

This is a solid 14K gold band, about 1.7 mm thick. The entire outer surface is carved with a continuous pattern of small, raised bars separated by half-moon notches, giving the ring a serrated or gear-like silhouette. The inside of the band is completely smooth, polished to a high shine, and you can see the 14K hallmark stamped cleanly into the surface. Light bounces off the top of each individual segment.

We make this band from solid 14 karat gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being a mix of alloys that give it its strength and warm rose colour. Pure gold is too soft for a ring you’d wear every day, which means the added alloys help it resist scratches and bending from daily contact. Because it's solid gold all the way through, the colour will never fade or rub off, and it won't tarnish or turn your skin green.

Most stacking rings are either completely plain or set with stones. This one offers a third option: texture. It’s a great middle piece to break up a stack of smooth bands, or it can stand on its own when you want something simple but not boring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the notches on the Classic Stacking Band catch on my clothes?

No, the notches on the Classic Stacking Band are designed to be smooth and low-profile. The edges are softly rounded during polishing, so they won't snag on knit sweaters or other delicate fabrics. You might feel the texture, but it’s not sharp enough to cause pulls.

Can I shower or swim while wearing my 14K gold Classic Stacking Band?

Yes, you can shower in your 14K gold band. Solid gold isn't harmed by water or mild soaps. However, we recommend taking it off before swimming in pools or hot tubs, as chlorine can be harsh on the metal's finish over time and may weaken the gold.

How should a stacking ring like the Classic Stacking Band fit on my finger?

A stacking ring should fit snugly enough that it won't fall off, but with enough room to slide over your knuckle without a struggle. If you're building a wider stack of three or more rings, consider going up a quarter or half size from your usual single-ring size.

What happens if my Classic Stacking Band doesn't fit or I change my mind?

You can return the ring within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund or exchange, as long as it's in its original condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label to make the process simple and free.

How long does free shipping to the US take for an order like the Classic Stacking Band?

Free shipping on qualifying orders to the US and Canada typically takes between 5 to 15 business days to arrive. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched so you can follow its journey from our Coquitlam studio to your door.
