The black enamel isn't painted on; it’s set into the gold band like a stone. This gives the ring a completely smooth, continuous surface that feels solid and substantial on your finger. It's a clean line of colour, not just a coating.
You're looking at a solid 14K yellow gold band with a flat, polished profile. A wide channel of deep black enamel runs along the top half, sitting perfectly flush with the gold edges. Three round, brilliant-cut zircons are bezel-set directly into the enamel, spaced evenly apart. The inside of the band is simple, smooth gold, and you can see the "14K" stamp.
The band is cast from 14 Karat solid gold, which is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys. This gives it the strength needed for a ring you'll wear often, which means it won't bend out of shape easily or turn your skin green. The colour comes from a certified jeweller's enamel, fired at high temperatures until it becomes a hard, glossy material that resists chipping. The stones are bright white zircons, set right into the enamel for a seamless finish.

It’s a band that has a lot of character without being bulky. Because the stones are set flush into the enamel, there are no prongs to catch on sweaters or scratch your skin. It's comfortable enough to forget you have it on, but the contrast between the black, gold, and white stones is always there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the black enamel on my Midnight Marina Ring scratch or fade over time?
The certified jeweller's enamel is fired to be very hard and durable for everyday wear. While it can be scratched by hard, abrasive surfaces, it's resistant to the minor bumps of daily life. The colour is solid all the way through, so it won't fade.
Can I shower or wash my hands while wearing the Midnight Marina Ring?
Yes, you can. The 14K solid gold and certified enamel won't be damaged by water or gentle soap. Just be sure to rinse it well to avoid soap buildup, which can dull the shine of the gold and zircons. We still recommend removing it for chlorinated pools or hot tubs.
How does the Midnight Marina Ring fit? Should I order my usual size?
Yes, you should order your standard ring size. The band has a consistent width and a smooth, comfortable interior that fits true to size. It's not overly wide, so it doesn't typically require sizing up the way some very broad statement bands might.
What happens if I order the wrong size for my Midnight Marina Ring?
You can return or exchange the ring within 30 days of receiving it, provided it's in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions. We want to make sure the fit is perfect for you.
How long does free shipping take for a ring order to the United States?
Free shipping on qualifying orders to the US (over $60 CAD) typically takes 5–15 business days to arrive. Once your ring ships from our Coquitlam studio, we'll send you a tracking number so you can follow its progress. All our packages are fully insured during transit.
