The French pavé setting on this band uses small, U-shaped cuts in the metal. This exposes the sides of each diamond, so they catch light from almost every angle instead of just from the top. It creates a continuous, uninterrupted line of sparkle on your finger.
This is a slim, 2mm wide band that's polished smooth on the lower half. The top is set with a row of 17 round brilliant diamonds that extends halfway around. They're held in a French pavé setting, which means you see very little metal from the top—just a clean line of stones. The sides of the band have small, scalloped cutouts that let you see the profile of each diamond.
We make this ring in your choice of solid 14K or 18K gold. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold, which gives it a good balance of rich colour and durability for something you'll wear every day. If you choose white gold, we plate it with rhodium, a bright, silvery metal from the platinum family. This adds a layer of scratch resistance. The diamonds are near-colourless (E/F grade) and very, very slightly included (VVS), so they look exceptionally clean and bright to the naked eye.

People often choose this band when they want the most sparkle from a slim profile. The French pavé setting exposes more of each diamond than a channel or standard pavé setting does. It stacks flush against most engagement rings without adding bulk, but it has enough presence to be worn on its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the French pavé setting on this diamond wedding band look different from other pavé rings?
The French pavé setting on this wedding band uses V-shaped cuts into the metal, creating a scalloped look from the side. This minimizes the amount of visible metal holding the diamonds, which lets more light enter from the sides and increases the overall sparkle compared to other settings.
Can I wear my gold and diamond wedding ring in the shower or while washing my hands?
Yes, it’s generally safe to wear your gold and diamond ring while showering or washing your hands. Water won't harm the gold or diamonds, but soap, lotions, and oils can build up under the stones. This creates a film that dulls their sparkle, so you'll just need to clean it more often.
How should a 2mm wedding band like this fit on my finger?
A 2mm wedding band should feel comfortable, sliding over your knuckle with slight resistance but not so loose that it spins easily. Because it's a slim band, you can typically order your true ring size. It shouldn't feel as tight as a much wider band might on the same finger.
What happens if I order the wrong size of my wedding ring?
If your ring doesn't fit, you can return or exchange it within 30 days of delivery, 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 and instructions to make the process simple.
How long does shipping for a wedding ring usually take to the United States?
Shipping to the US is free for orders over $60 CAD and typically takes 5 to 15 business days to arrive. We offer free shipping to Canada on orders over $60 CAD and to the UK/EU on orders over $110 CAD. We'll send you a tracking number as soon as it ships.
