Hammered Finish
A hammered finish is a textured metal surface created by repeatedly striking the metal with a small hammer, leaving tiny dimples and creating an organic, handcrafted appearance.
This artisanal technique creates unique light reflection and a rustic, organic aesthetic that has become increasingly popular in wedding bands and contemporary jewelry. Each piece is slightly different due to the hand-hammering process. The finish can range from subtle to heavily textured depending on the intensity and pattern of hammering.
Hammered finishes work particularly well on platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold wedding bands. The texture can be applied uniformly across the entire band or strategically in specific areas for contrast with polished surfaces.
