Blue Ocean Ring

The band isn't a simple, smooth circle of gold. We designed it as a continuous row of tiny, polished pyramids that run along the top of your finger, giving it a texture that’s interesting to see and to touch.

A deep blue, emerald-cut sapphire sits at the centre, held securely by four simple gold prongs. The top half of the band is textured with a pattern of small, pointed pyramids, all cast in polished gold. For comfort, the inside of the ring and the lower part of the band are perfectly smooth against your skin.

We make this ring from solid 14 karat gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys, which means it’s tough enough to handle daily wear without bending out of shape. The gold has a warm, rich colour that won't fade or rub off over time. Because it's solid, it's a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The centre stone is a genuine sapphire, cut precisely to show off its deep blue colour.

Material: 14K Solid Gold
Stone: Genuine Sapphire
Cut: Emerald Cut
Sold as: Single Ring

Most solitaires put all the focus on the stone, leaving the band plain. This design gives equal attention to the gold itself. The pyramid texture adds character and a bit of structure, but the ring is still fine enough that it won't feel bulky or get in the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the pyramid texture on the Blue Ocean Ring band feel sharp or catch on clothing?

No, the pyramids on the band are polished smooth and won't feel sharp or snag on your clothes. We specifically round the points just enough so they provide a unique texture you can feel, but they glide easily over fabric and won't irritate your skin.

Can I wear my 14K gold and sapphire ring in the shower or while washing my hands?

Yes, it's perfectly safe to wear your 14K gold and sapphire ring while showering or washing your hands. Solid gold and sapphire are durable materials that won't be damaged by water. Just be sure to dry it afterwards to avoid soap scum build-up, which can dull its shine.

How should a ring like the Blue Ocean Ring fit my finger?

Your ring should slide over your knuckle with a little bit of friction and sit comfortably at the base of your finger. It shouldn't be so loose that it spins easily or so tight that it's difficult to remove. The smooth interior of this particular band helps it sit comfortably.

What happens if I order the wrong size for my Blue Ocean Ring?

You can return or exchange the ring within 30 days of receiving it, no problem. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. We want to make sure the fit is exactly right for you.

How long does free shipping to the US take for an order like this ring?

Free shipping on qualifying orders to the US and Canada typically takes 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.
