Description
This elegant men’s wedding ring features a broad platinum band with a polished yellow gold rail on one side. It was created for a client from Issaquah, WA, who came into our Bellevue, WA showroom to find the perfect inspiration for his custom design. Once we knew what he was looking for, we generated a high-quality CAD model of his piece, and he asked to examine a wax model to make absolutely sure he loved it before giving approval to move into production.

Two-tone Band
The main portion of this piece is the platinum band, and it spans nearly the entire 8mm width of the ring. It features a brushed finish for a nice matte look, and it sits up a bit above the 18k yellow gold rail that runs along one side. This rail is polished, with a warm color that contrasts perfectly with the silvery platinum and helps to enhance the beauty of each.
Contrasting Finishes and Customization
The use of different finishes on the two sections of this ring emphasizes the separation between them, and it brings a subtle complexity to the design as well. However, there are other options to consider along these lines when you’re thinking about customizing this ring, including hammered and sandblasted. Men’s Custom Wedding Bands
You may even want to keep the same finish across the entire piece, or you could switch the placement of the finishes by brushing the rail and polishing the platinum section. All of these would produce a substantially different look, but all would also be beautiful, and choosing the right combination is really a matter of personal style.
Another customization option to consider is switching the placement of the metals in this ring by using the yellow gold for the band and the platinum for the rail. If you choose to go that route, you could keep the polish on the yellow gold and the brushed finish on the platinum for a classical look, or you could experiment with some of the other options outlined above.
