This isn't a perfectly flat band. If you look closely, you'll see the surface has a slow, continuous wave that runs all the way around. It’s a detail that gently rolls the light across the gold as you move your hand.
This is a 6mm wide wedding band made from solid, highly polished gold. The main feature is the soft, flowing twist in its profile, which creates those long, warped reflections of light you see in the picture. The curve is only on the outer surface; the inside of the ring is perfectly smooth and round for a comfortable fit. All the edges are softened so they won't feel sharp on your finger.
We make this ring from solid 14k gold, which means it’s 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for durability. Pure 24k gold is actually quite soft, so making an alloy is a necessary step for a piece of jewellery you'll wear constantly. This process makes the ring much more resistant to the dents and scratches of everyday life. And because it's solid gold, the colour is the same all the way through. It will never wear off or change.
- Material: Solid 14k Gold
- Width: 6mm
- Finish: High Polish
- Sold as a single ring
Most people pick this when they want something classic, but not entirely plain. The wave in the profile gives it a bit of dimension that you don't get from a standard flat or D-shaped band. It’s a way to have a traditional wedding ring that still has one small, considered detail that makes it different.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the wave on the 6mm Gold Wedding Band feel strange between my fingers?
No, it will feel just like a regular band. The wave is only on the outside surface of the ring. The inside that sits against your skin and the sides that touch your other fingers are completely smooth, round, and polished for a comfortable fit.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my solid gold wedding band?
Yes, you can. Solid 14k gold is durable enough for constant wear. However, soaps and shampoos can build up over time, leaving a film that dulls the shine. It’s a good habit to take it off, but it won’t be damaged if you forget.
How do I figure out my size for a wider 6mm ring like this one?
A wider band fits more snugly than a thin one. We recommend going to a jeweller and getting sized specifically with a 6mm sizer. If you can't, a good rule of thumb is to order a quarter to a half-size larger than your regular size for a narrow ring.
What happens if my wedding band doesn't fit when it arrives?
You have 30 days to send it back for an exchange or a full refund, as long as it's in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll provide a prepaid shipping label to make it easy.
How long does free shipping to Canada take for my order?
Our free shipping option on qualifying orders within Canada and the US typically takes 5 to 15 business days to arrive. Once your ring is on its way from our Coquitlam studio, we’ll send you an email with a tracking number.
