Satin
A satin finish is for those who are looking for a more subtle piece. Rings with a satin finish have a more matte appearance and aren’t as “bright” as a polished ring. A satin finish is accomplished by brushing the material in one direction which dulls the surface. The satin finish is perfect for the "modern man".

Swirl Brush
Where a satin finished ring is brushed in one direction, a swirl brush finished ring is brushed in all directions. This finish gives the ring a textured appearance and adds an additional design element. Plus, the swirl finish helps hide scratches which can be helpful if you have a more active lifestyle.

Wire Brush
The wire brush finish is a unique textured finish applied to wedding bands. It creates a fine texture on the surface of the ring. Almost glitter-like, this finish creates a unique shine. Light reflects off it in different ways making it a beautiful addition to your wardrobe.
