The two rows of milgrain beading give this band its character. They frame the polished centre, creating a subtle texture that catches the light differently than the smooth, high-polish gold. It’s a detail you can feel as much as see.
This is a 5mm wide gold band. Its centre is a smooth, domed curve with a high polish that reflects a lot of light. On either side, the edge steps down and is decorated with a fine line of milgrain beading. The inside of the band is also polished and has a slight curve, which makes it comfortable for constant wear.
We make this band from solid 14K gold, not plated. It's 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being a mix of alloys like silver and copper that give it that classic warm colour. The added alloys provide strength, which means the ring can stand up to daily wear without easily bending out of shape. It's a practical balance of purity and durability for a piece you'll have on all the time. The high polish will develop a patina of small scratches over time, which is normal for a well-loved ring.
- Material: Solid 14K Gold
- Finish: Polished with milgrain edges
- Width: 5mm
- Sold as: Single band
People choose this band when they want something more than a completely plain ring, but nothing too loud. The 5mm width has a nice presence on the hand, and the milgrain adds a traditional, finished touch that keeps it from looking generic. It's substantial without being bulky.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the milgrain beading on the TFM5mm Wedding Band wear down over time?
Yes, the milgrain detailing can soften over many years of constant wear. The tiny beads are made of the same 14K gold as the rest of the ring. Abrasive contact can slowly smooth them down, especially if you work with your hands a lot. This is a normal part of the ring's life.
How do I clean my 14K gold wedding band at home without damaging the finish?
You can safely clean your 14K gold band with a soft-bristled toothbrush, warm water, and a few drops of mild dish soap. Gently scrub the surfaces, including the milgrain edges, to remove any buildup. Rinse it thoroughly with clean water and pat it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
How should a 5mm wide wedding band like this one fit on my finger?
A 5mm band should fit snugly enough that it won't fall off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort. Because wider bands take up more space on the finger, you might need to go up a quarter or half size from what you wear in a very thin ring.
What happens if I order the wrong size for my TFM5mm Wedding Band?
You can return the ring within 30 days of receipt for a different size or a full refund. Just contact us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label. The ring must be in its original, unworn condition for the return to be processed.
How long does shipping take for a ring to the United States?
Shipping to the US and Canada is free on qualifying orders over $60 CAD and typically takes 5-15 business days. We also offer free shipping to the UK and EU for orders over $110 CAD. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched from our Coquitlam studio.
