The setting on this ring is called French pavé. Tiny v-shaped cuts in the band let light hit the diamonds from the sides, not just the top. It makes the whole top half of the ring look like it's made of light, not metal.
This is a slim, polished gold band set with fifteen round brilliant diamonds. They run in a continuous, sparkling line across the top half of the ring. The French pavé setting uses small, shared prongs that are cut away on the sides, showing the profile of each stone. The inside of the band is smooth and polished, with our "VANHESS" maker's mark engraved on it.
We make this ring in your choice of 14K or 18K gold. 14K gold is 58.3% pure, which means it's very durable for a ring you'll wear every day. We then plate the white gold with rhodium, a hard metal from the platinum family. This protects the ring and provides a bright white backdrop that makes the E/F colour diamonds appear even more clear. The VVS clarity ensures there are no flaws you can see with the naked eye.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the French pavé setting on this wedding ring look different from a regular pavé?
The French pavé setting uses small v-shaped cuts into the band itself to hold the diamonds. This exposes the sides of the stones, allowing more light to enter and create sparkle. Traditional pavé often uses small beads of metal that can cover more of the diamond's surface.
Can I wear my gold diamond wedding band in the shower or while swimming?
It's best to remove your diamond wedding band before showering or swimming. Soaps and lotions can build up behind the stones and make them look dull, while chlorine in pools can damage the gold and rhodium plating over time. A quick rinse with water is fine.
How should a 2mm wedding band like this fit next to my engagement ring?
A 2mm band should sit snugly against your engagement ring without a noticeable gap, and it shouldn't pinch your skin. Because it's a consistent width, it's a good choice for stacking. We always recommend getting sized by a local jeweller for the most accurate fit.
