Wedding Ring - W1473M

The brushed finish on this band is practical. It's designed to hide the small scratches and scuffs that come from wearing a ring every day. The polished groove in the centre adds a sharp, clean contrast that catches the light.

This is a 4mm wide band with a distinct texture. The main surface is brushed horizontally, creating a soft, satin look that doesn't glare. Running down the exact centre is a single, narrow groove that’s cut deep and polished to a mirror shine. The edges are slightly rounded, and the entire inside of the band is high-polished for a comfortable fit against your finger.

We make this ring in either 14k or 18k gold. 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold, mixed with other alloys to make it tough enough for everyday wear, which means it will resist dents and scratches better than a purer gold. For white gold like this, we use a specific alloy mix and then plate it with rhodium. Rhodium is a member of the platinum family, which means it provides that bright, silvery-white colour and protects the gold underneath from tarnishing.

Material: 14k or 18k Gold
Measurements: 4mm width, 3mm thickness
Finish: Brushed with polished centre groove
Warranty: 2-year warranty
Sold as: Single ring

People choose this ring when they want something more than a plain band, but nothing too complicated. The 4mm width is a very standard, comfortable size for most hands. The brushed finish is the main draw—it’s for someone who wants a ring that looks good without constant upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions

**Will the brushed finish on my gold wedding band wear off over time?

No, the brushed finish won't wear off because it's a texture applied directly to the gold, not a coating. Over many years, the finish may soften and blend with small scratches, developing a unique patina. A jeweller can always re-brush it to restore its original look.

**Can I shower or swim with my 14k gold wedding ring on?

Yes, you can shower with your 14k gold ring. However, we recommend taking it off before swimming in pools or hot tubs. The chlorine can be harsh on the gold over time, potentially affecting the rhodium plating and the metal itself. Plain soap and water are generally fine.

**How should a 4mm men's wedding band fit on my finger?

A 4mm wedding band should feel snug enough that it won't accidentally fall off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with some resistance. Your finger size can change with temperature and time of day, so it’s best to measure when you're calm and at a normal body temperature.

**What happens if my wedding ring doesn't fit or I don't like it?

You can return the ring within 30 days of receipt, as long as it's in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll provide a prepaid shipping label and instructions for the return.

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

Shipping is free for orders over $60 CAD to Canada and the US, and it typically takes 5-15 business days to arrive. You'll receive a tracking number once your order has been dispatched so you can follow its journey.
