Description
This elegant men’s wedding ring features a gear pattern across the top that’s highlighted by black antiquing and framed by parallel grooves that run all the way around the white gold band. It was created for a client from Leonardtown, MD as part of a custom wedding set that also included an engagement ring and women’s wedding ring.

Although the clients lived too far away to ever visit our Bellevue, WA showroom in person, the online workroom we set up to manage their project allowed us to communicate freely back and forth. This arrangement ensured all of their feedback was integrated into the final designs, and they were very happy with the way the set turned out. Design Your Own Wedding Ring
Black Antiquing
The gear pattern that covers the top of this band is recessed into the metal, as are the two parallel grooves that frame it. Both of these elements are highlighted by black antiquing as well, and the fact that the antiquing sits below the main surface of the ring minimizes the amount it will wear down over time.
The use of black to highlight the pattern is also stylistically appropriate, and it brings a nice contrast to the piece. Both the gear pattern and the antiquing are present in the women’s wedding ring also included in the set, creating a special personal link between the two pieces. Men’s Custom Wedding Bands
