It’s made of tiny, flattened gold cushions, all linked together in a solid band. The light catches the top of each little pillow, but the sides stay in shadow, creating a texture you can see from across the room.
The Mira is a full circle of small, rounded squares, almost like tiny pillows of gold strung together. Each segment is identical, creating a uniform, repeating pattern around the entire band. The finish is a soft, matte gold that gives off a warm glow instead of a sharp shine. When you turn it, the light rolls over each segment individually.
We start with a solid core of 925 sterling silver, which is an industry standard for quality jewellery. Then we plate it with a thick layer of 14k gold. That's real gold, about 58.3% pure, which gives the ring its warm, authentic colour. Finally, we add a transparent e-coating over the top. This is an electrical-coating process that creates a very durable, clear layer, which means it protects the gold from wearing off and keeps the ring hypoallergenic for sensitive skin.

Most stacking rings are either plain or have stones. This one is all about texture. It's a way to add a different kind of detail to a ring stack, breaking up the smooth, polished surfaces of other bands. It sits low and flat, so it won't snag on your sweaters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the texture on the Mira Band snag on my clothes or feel rough?
No, the Mira Band shouldn't snag or feel rough. Although it's made of individual segments, they're cast as a single piece and polished smooth. The 'valleys' between the cushion shapes are very shallow, so the surface feels more like a gentle texture than a sharp or bumpy one.
Can I wear my 14k gold plated Mira Band in the shower?
You can, but we recommend taking it off before showering or swimming. While the e-coating offers good protection, repeated exposure to soaps, chemicals, and water will eventually wear down the gold plating faster. Keeping it dry is the best way to maintain its colour long-term.
How do I choose a size for the Mira Band if I want to stack it?
You should choose your regular ring size for the Mira Band, even for stacking. Because it's a slim, straight band, it sits true to size and won't make your finger feel constricted when paired with other rings. We currently offer it in US sizes 5 and 7.

If your Mira Band doesn't fit, you can return it within 30 days for a refund or exchange, provided 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 easy.
