Texture Styles and Finishes
Applying Textures and Finishes to Your Wedding Rings
The available combination of ring textures and finishes are endless when making your own wedding rings. Between the material options in color, karat, texture, and finish you will have countless ways to customize your wedding rings and make them unique to fit your style and personality. Below are a few examples of the most common combinations of texture and finish.
The most classic finish for wedding jewelry is a shiny high polish, which produces a shiny, mirror-like luster. This combination looks great on yellow, white, or rose gold and is by far the most popular ring texture and finish.
A brushed or matte finish still has some shine but produces less luster than the high polish. The brushed finish is a great look for a casual appearance with less reflection of light from the ring. This subtle finish is low-key and hides long-term wear in a nice way. Applying a file finish will give your wedding ring a deep brushed look and produce a kinetic look.
How Texture Styles and Finishes Mix
In addition to choosing your finish, you can apply different styles of texture. Applying a hammered texture with a matte finish will give your wedding more of a rustic look. Versus a hammered texture with a high polish finish will give your wedding ring more of a refined look. The combination of these two processes will give your ring a personalized and unique look. Using the different types of hammers and specialized texturing tools, you will have many ring texture options.
