The first thing you'll notice is the finish. A band of brushed white gold sits inside two polished rose gold rails. The contrast in texture is what defines this ring, catching light in two completely different ways.
This is a 4mm wide band made from two colours of gold. The centre is a wide strip of white gold with a satin, brushed finish that diffuses light rather than reflecting it. It's framed by two thinner, highly polished rails of rose gold. The edges are slightly bevelled, giving the ring a clean, defined profile. On the inside, it’s all polished white gold, so it feels smooth against your finger.
We make this ring in either 14k or 18k gold. 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for durability, which means it’s very resistant to the scratches and dings of daily wear. 18k gold is 75% pure gold, giving it a richer colour and higher hypoallergenic properties. The two sections of gold—the white and the rose—are permanently fused together, not plated, so the two-tone look is there to stay.
- Material: 14k or 18k Gold (White and Rose)

People choose this ring when they want something two-toned but not flashy. The brushed finish on the white gold keeps it from being too bright, and the polished rose gold adds warmth without being overpowering. It’s a balanced design that feels modern and will look right for decades.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the brushed finish on my gold wedding band scratch or wear off over time?
The brushed finish will naturally evolve with wear. Over many years, it will develop a unique patina from daily contact, smoothing out slightly. We can re-apply the original brushed finish for you anytime; just bring your ring into our Coquitlam studio for a refresh.
Is it safe to wear my two-tone gold wedding ring in the shower or while swimming?
Yes, you can wear your gold ring in the shower. However, we recommend taking it off before swimming in pools or hot tubs. Chlorine is a harsh chemical that can slowly damage the alloys in the gold, potentially causing discolouration or weakening the metal over a long period.
How should a 4mm wedding band like this fit on my finger?
A 4mm band should feel snug enough that it won't fall off when your hands are cold or wet, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort. It shouldn't spin freely or feel uncomfortably tight. For the most accurate sizing, we recommend getting measured at our studio.
What happens if I order the wrong size for my wedding ring?
We offer a 30-day return or exchange window for unworn rings. If you've ordered the wrong size, contact us at returns@vanhess.ca for a prepaid shipping label. We'll help you exchange it for the correct size to make sure the fit is perfect for you.
How long does free shipping to the United States take for a wedding band?
Free shipping on qualifying orders to the US typically takes 5-15 business days. Once your ring is shipped from our Coquitlam studio, you'll receive a tracking number to follow its progress. All our packages are insured during transit for your peace of mind.
