Traditionally, wider wedding rings were almost always a plain, polished, low dome band. While these are still a long lasting classic, more and more wedding rings now include texture in their design. Whether subtle or detailed, textured finishes are a magnificent way to make your wedding ring unique.
Here are 5 textured wedding ring designs to inspire your own custom design.
1. Matte Wedding Ring with Polished Lines
A matte finish brings a modern style to a classic wedding ring, while keeping its timeless appeal. This matte wedding ring is personalised with horizontal and vertical polished lines to create a unique detail. Customise your own version of a ring like this with your own arrangement of straight or angled line patterns.
2. Brush Textured Wedding Ring
A wedding ring with a brushed texture makes for a practical low maintenance style, given marks from everyday wear are cleverly concealed in the design. Brush textured bands work well in both narrower and wider designs. This one is applied to a classic low dome profile wedding ring, creating a classic-meets-modern style.
3. Wedding Ring with Contrasting Textures
Two contrasting textures create a striking effect in a wedding ring design. Here, polished edges either side of a brushed texture centre create interest in a white gold wedding band. For extra contrast, choose a different colour metal for the polished and textured sections, such as 18ct yellow gold, or 18ct rose gold.
4. Polished Hammered Wedding Ring with Milgrain Edging
While most textured wedding ring designs are (by definition) not polished, it’s possible to include texture yet also have a timelessly polished look. This wedding ring has a surface rippled from hammering, and is finished off with a polished surface. Milgrain edging on each side of the band adds a modern vintage element to the design.
5. Rough Textured Wedding Ring
Textures can be created to be as rough and rugged as you’re willing to wear, especially for pieces that are made by hand. Here, an ultra rough finish is created with hand carved textured patchwork-like segments. Especially when created by hand, a piece like this is entirely unique, with no two textured wedding rings being exactly the same.
