GUIDE TO WEDDING BAND FINISHES

Set your wedding band apart by choosing an interesting finish. Depending on the type of finish, the personality of the ring can change completely. The smooth, sleek appearance of the polished finish gives off an air of a man who appreciated the classics. In contrast, the hammered finish denotes a person who is a bit more rustic. Let us be your guide to the many different styles to choose from for your wedding band.

POLISHED FINISH

A polished finish's signature look is its mirror-like surface. The highly glossy, reflective surface is ideal for men who want their rings noticed and love the classic, traditional look. A thing to be aware of is that scratches are more noticeable because of its sleek surface, meaning this finish is more high-maintenance as it will need to be cleaned and polished more often.

SATIN FINISH

The satin finish is similar to the polish finish but with a more subdued appearance. The surface of the ring is not as reflective, absorbing more of the light to give it a soft glow. The satin finish is the second most popular finish, right behind the polished finish.

MATTE FINISH

The matte finish is the most understated with a low level of luster that reflects the least amount of light. Rings with a matte finish are ideal for men who want to make a discreet statement without compromising the ring's sleek elegance. Scratches do not show up as easily on matte finishes, which makes them one of the more low-maintenance types of finishes.


BRUSHED FINISH

The brushed finish is similar to the satin finish in that it does not reflect a lot of light. The surface is lightly scored with a metal brush to create an interesting texture. This finish is one of the more popular ones, especially for men that work with their hands a lot. Scratches usually blend in well with the already marked surface.

HAMMERED FINISH

Hammered finish rings are diverse as the dimpled surface is created by
hitting the metal with a special hammer. The hammer shape and size vary between designers, making this finish one of the most unique. Rings
that use the hammer finish get two finishes in one as the satin finish is typically applied after the hammering to give a ring a muted look.


SANDBLASTED FINISH

Sandblasted rings have the most texture of all of the finishes. As the name suggests, sand is blasted onto the ring, creating a coarse and grainy texture. The finish is ideal for men that like rings with texture and who crave something more distinctive. This finish does not show scratches very well and is one of the easier finishes to maintain over the ring's lifetime.
