The hammered white gold centre scatters light in every direction, so the ring never looks the same way twice. It’s set between two high-polish yellow gold rails that give the entire band a clean, defined edge and a substantial feel on the finger.
This is a two-tone band, 4mm wide and a solid 3mm thick. The main structure is 14k or 18k yellow gold, polished to a mirror finish on the inside and along the raised outer edges. Set flush between these edges is a band of white gold with a hammered texture. The small, irregular facets of the hammering create a matte, almost stony appearance that contrasts with the bright polish of the yellow gold. The inside is engraved with the Vanhess name.
We make this ring in your choice of 14k or 18k gold. 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold, which means it’s alloyed for strength and is very resistant to scratches and daily wear. 18k gold is 75% pure gold; it has a slightly richer, deeper yellow colour. The two-tone effect isn't a plating. We construct the ring from two separate, solid gold colours, yellow and white, which means the colours will never rub off or fade. The hammering is done by hand, so each ring's texture is unique.

You pick this ring because the texture is practical. A fully polished band shows every single nick and scratch from daily life. The hammered finish on this one hides all that wear, so it continues to look its best for years without needing to be babied. It's a forgiving design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the hammered texture on this two-tone gold wedding band catch on clothing?
No, the hammered finish won't catch on your clothes. While the texture looks rugged, the facets are smoothed during the finishing process. It feels textured to the touch but has no sharp points or rough edges that would snag on knits or other fabrics.
Can I wear my 14k gold hammered ring in the shower or while swimming?
Yes, you can, as water itself won't harm 14k or 18k gold. However, we recommend taking it off. Harsh chemicals in soaps, shampoos, and especially chlorine in pools can build up on the surface over time, dulling the metal's finish and getting into the crevices of the hammered texture.
How does the 3mm thickness of this wedding ring affect how it fits?
The 3mm thickness gives the ring a noticeable, solid weight on your finger. To ensure it's still comfortable for daily wear, the inside of the band is polished and has a slight curve (a comfort fit), which helps it slide over your knuckle easily and sit nicely.
