This isn't a thin, barely-there band. At a full 8mm wide, it has a real presence on your finger. You'll feel its smooth, solid weight from the moment you put it on. It’s a substantial piece of gold.
This is a simple, wide band of highly polished gold. There are no stones or engravings, just a clean, mirror-like surface. The outer face is gently curved, what we call a dome profile, which creates long, fluid reflections of light and shadow. The inside edge is also rounded for comfort, and you can see the same polished finish reflected back on itself.
We make this band from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals to make it stronger. For a wedding band you wear every day, that durability is key. It means the ring will resist dents and deep scratches better than higher-karat gold. The colour is the true, warm colour of the gold itself, which means it will never fade or wear off over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the polished finish on my 8mm gold wedding band scratch over time?
Yes, any polished gold ring worn daily will develop fine scratches and marks. This is a normal process that creates a unique patina reflecting your life. Many people like this lived-in look, but if you prefer the original mirror-like shine, a professional jeweller can easily re-polish it for you.
Can I wear my solid gold wedding band in the shower?
Yes, it's perfectly safe to wear your solid 14k gold band in the shower. Water and mild soaps won't harm the metal. We'd just recommend rinsing any soap or shampoo residue off afterward to keep the gold from looking dull and to prevent any skin irritation.
Does an 8mm wide ring like the TF8mm Wedding Band fit differently than a narrow ring?
Yes, wide bands often require a slightly larger size than narrower rings. Because this 8mm band covers more of your finger, it can feel much snugger. We recommend getting sized with a wide-band sizer or considering going up a quarter to a half size from what you'd wear in a thin band.
What happens if I need to return my ring?
We offer 30-day returns for unworn jewellery in its original condition. To start the process, just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca. We'll reply with a prepaid shipping label and clear instructions on how to send the ring back to our studio in Coquitlam.
