Florentine Finish

A Florentine finish is a decorative engraving technique that creates a crosshatch pattern of fine lines on metal surfaces, producing a subtle texture and sophisticated appearance.

This traditional Italian finishing technique involves using a special engraving tool to cut very fine parallel lines in two directions, creating a delicate cross-hatched effect. The Florentine finish catches light differently than polished or brushed metal, creating subtle sparkle without the shine of high polish.

Commonly used on wedding bands, vintage-inspired jewelry, and high-end pieces, the Florentine finish adds artisanal character. It's particularly striking on yellow gold and requires skilled craftsmanship to execute properly.
