This band has a real presence on the hand. At 7mm wide, its smooth, polished surface feels substantial and solid—you'll always be aware that it's there. It's a classic shape with a comforting weight to it.
You're looking at a wide, continuous loop of solid yellow gold. The surface is curved, not flat, which creates soft, rolling reflections of light rather than sharp glints. You can see the dark and light tones playing across the polish. The inside edge is also slightly rounded, a detail you feel more than you see. It’s a simple, classic form with a significant width.
We make this ring from a solid piece of 14k gold. That’s 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being a mix of alloys that add strength and durability. This is important for a ring you’ll wear every day, which means it’s highly resistant to the dents and warping that can happen with softer metals. The warm gold colour is consistent all the way through, so it will never fade or wear off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 7mm gold wedding band get scratched with daily wear?
Yes, any solid gold ring will show small scratches and develop a unique finish over time. 14k gold is quite durable, but not scratch-proof. We actually see this as part of the ring's life with you. We can, however, re-polish it at our studio to restore its original shine.
Can I shower or swim while wearing my gold wedding band?
Yes, it's perfectly safe to shower with your solid 14k gold band. We do recommend taking it off before swimming in heavily chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as those chemicals can be harsh on the metal's alloys over time. A quick rinse with soap and water is fine.
How should a 7mm wide wedding band fit on my finger?
A wider band like this 7mm one will feel more snug than a thinner ring of the exact same size. We often suggest going up a quarter or half size for a comfortable fit, especially if you have larger knuckles. It shouldn't spin freely, but it also shouldn't feel tight.
What happens if my wedding band doesn't fit when it arrives?
You can return or exchange it within 30 days of receiving it, provided it's in original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label for a straightforward return or size exchange.
How long does free shipping take for an order to the United States?
Our free shipping on qualifying orders over $60 CAD to the US and Canada typically takes 5 to 15 business days to arrive. For the UK and EU, free shipping applies to orders over $110 CAD. You'll get a tracking number as soon as it leaves our Coquitlam studio.
