Wedding Ring - W0215M

The brushed finish on this band doesn't glitter; it glows. Instead of a sharp, reflective glint, it catches light and diffuses it into a soft, even sheen that moves with you. It’s a quiet kind of shine that feels intentional.

This is a 4mm flat-profile wedding band. The outer surface has a distinct horizontal brushed finish, which creates fine, parallel lines that run around the ring. In contrast, the inner surface and the very edges of the rim are polished to a high shine. This polished interior creates a bright, reflective surface against the skin, where you can clearly see the 'VANHESS' engraving. The edges are slightly softened, so it won't feel sharp.

We make this ring from solid 14k or 18k gold, not plated, so the colour is solid all the way through. You get to choose your gold. 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys, which means it's very durable and resistant to scratches from daily wear. 18k gold is 75% pure gold, giving it a slightly richer feel while still being tough enough for a lifetime. Both are hypoallergenic and won't tarnish.

Material: Solid 14k or 18k Gold
Width: 4mm
Thickness: 1.5mm
Finish: Brushed exterior, polished interior
Sold as: Single ring

People choose this band when they want something classic but not generic. The 4mm width is substantial without feeling bulky, and the brushed finish is a practical choice—it hides the minor scratches that life inevitably adds. It's a workhorse of a ring that tends to look better with age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the brushed finish on my 14k gold wedding ring wear off or get shiny over time?

Yes, the brushed finish will evolve. Over years of wear, it will develop a unique patina as it comes into contact with other surfaces, and some areas may become smoother and shinier. We can easily re-apply the original brushed finish for you anytime as part of our maintenance.

Is it safe to shower or swim with my solid gold wedding ring on?

Yes, it's perfectly safe to wear your solid 14k or 18k gold ring in the shower, as water won't harm it. We do recommend taking it off before swimming in heavily chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as harsh chemicals can slowly affect the metal's finish over time.

How does the comfort-fit interior on the 4mm wedding band affect sizing?

The comfort-fit design, with its rounded interior, means the ring has less surface area touching your skin. Many people find they need to size down by a quarter or half size compared to a standard flat-fit ring. We recommend getting sized with a comfort-fit sizer for the most accurate fit.

What happens if I order the wrong size for my wedding ring?

You can return or exchange your ring for any reason within 30 days of receiving it, as long as it's in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label to make the process easy and free.

How long does free shipping take for a wedding ring to the United States?

Free shipping on qualifying orders typically takes between 5 to 15 business days to arrive at addresses in Canada and the US. We ship all our jewellery from our studio in Coquitlam, BC. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order is on its way.
