High Polish: Exactly what you'd expect. The brightest, shiniest shine we can create that has a mirror effect.

Satin (Matte): More of a soft matte finish for those who don't want their ring so shiny.
Brushed: More of a directional satin finish. Can be done as shown, side to side, or at an angle.
Hammered: Yep, we beat it with a hammer to create cool moon crater-like divots.
Sandblast: We block off an area and blast it with sand to create a cool frosted texture.
Scratched: Like the brushed finish but more pronounced and less uniform.
Florentine: Seen a lot in antique pieces. A fun ridged directional texture.
Engraving: Typically done by hand after the ring is complete, but sometimes done in the computer before casting.
Milgrain: A ribbed edge that dresses up any design just a touch.
Oxidized: A chemical process applied to sterling silver to darken the metal. Gold can also be antiqued in recessed areas.
