The Buyer's Guide to Wedding Rings Part Seven
Choosing a Finish
We have six finishes to choose from. These will be offered as options for all plain wedding rings, as well as many of the decorative and diamond-set designs. Most people choose simple mirror (polished) finish, or fine matt (also known as brushed or satin).
Mirror finish: A highly reflective polished finish resulting in a mirror-like surface on the ring.
Fine Matt finish: A non-reflective finish with no apparent texture. The ring's surface would have been finely scratched to create a misty look.
Coarse Matt finish: A more textured finish with more obvious signs of embellishment.
Hammered: As in the name, the surface of the ring is subjected to a tiny hammering effect, resulting in a dented surface.
Sandblasted: A textured effect resulting from high pressure sand blasting.
Stardust: A sparkling effect whereby the ring appears with a part-polished and part-sandblasted surface, giving the appearance of stardust.
Millgrain / bevelled edges:We have several designs with millgrain edges and bevelling – please have a look through our decorative rings section to see the different offerings.
