Fascinated by Matte Rings
When asked about their ring preference, many express a fondness for engagement and wedding rings with a matte, subdued luster.
Matte textures offer a composed look and blend seamlessly with the skin, making them approachable for those wearing rings for the first time. Additionally, depending on the design, a matte finish can add a cool, flair to the ring.
Are matte finishes also OK for engagement and wedding rings?
The answer is YES!!
There's no rule stating that engagement and wedding rings must exclusively feature a glossy finish.
The most crucial aspect is that the ring suits and pleases you, ensuring it becomes a cherished piece for years to come.
For those who dream of diamonds but shy away from overly sparkling rings, choosing a matte finish can subtly enhance the gemstone's brilliance.
Does the Matte Finish Wear Off?
The answer is YES…
The matte finish on rings can become polished over time, similar to how frequently touched statues become smooth.
The matte texture is created by etching or hammering the surface of the ring, which inevitably gets small scratches from daily wear. Over time, these scratches can make the matte finish look polished as it wears down.
Conversely, glossy rings develop a matte appearance over time due to scratches. Ultimately, any ring will show signs of wear.
Reliable "Aftercare"
Many jewellery shops offer polishing and texture reapplication services to address this issue.
ith offers complimentary aftercare to restore rings to their original matte or glossy finish as part of our maintenance service. You can confidently choose a matte ring, knowing it's supported by excellent aftercare.
The natural wear, whether it leads to a glossier finish or adds scratches to a shiny ring, marks the shared journey of a couple.
Many couples enjoy the process of their rings' textures changing over time, seeing them as "rings they have nurtured together."
