This isn't one solid band, but two strands of gold twisted together like a fine rope. The open spaces between the twists make the ring feel light, and the rounded surfaces catch the light from all angles as you move your hand.

Two strands of polished 14K gold are wound around each other to form the band. The twist is continuous across the top half of the ring, creating a repeating pattern of open loops. From the side, you can see the negative space created by the weave. The bottom half smooths out into a solid, flat-interior band, which is where you'll find the 14K and VANHESS hallmarks stamped inside.

We make this ring from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated or filled. It's an alloy made of 58.3% pure gold, which means it has a rich, warm colour but is strong enough for a delicate design that you'll wear every day. Because it's solid gold all the way through, the colour will never chip or fade. It also means it’s unlikely to cause skin irritation and won’t turn your finger green, even if you wear it constantly.

• Material: 14 Karat solid gold
• Sold as a single ring

People usually pick this ring when they want something more interesting than a plain band but don't want the bulk of a gemstone ring. It's slim enough to stack easily with your other jewellery, but the twisted texture gives it enough detail to look complete when worn all by itself.
