Description
This stylish men’s wedding ring features a hammered and slightly raised yellow gold middle section bordered by polished white gold rails. It was created for a client from Lake Oswego, OR, and we made both an engagement ring and wedding band for his fiancee at the same time. He had originally been thinking of just getting a plain flat band, but after seeing some sample pieces in our Bellevue, WA showroom, he fell in love with this design and had us customize it for him.

Two-Tone Band and Contrasting Finishes
The center portion of this ring is made from 18k yellow gold, and its unique surface is created by the combination of a hammered and sandblasted finish. The hammering results in the irregular, undulating surface, and the sandblasting produces a granular matte effect that helps highlight the ridges and valleys all the way around the band.
On the outside, 18k white gold rails border the center section, and these are slightly domed to contrast with the straight lines of the middle’s margins. The rails feature a high polish finish that helps them stand out despite their relative narrowness, while also highlighting the way they contrast with the yellow gold center.
Utilizing two different color metals is a good way to bring some complexity to your design without making it too flashy. It’s a subtle and classy look that can be complemented by an array of finishes and other features, and our team will help you find just the right mix to get the look you’re after.

Band Width Options
This band is 7mm wide, which is average for a men’s wedding ring. If you prefer something thinner or wider, however, we can absolutely adjust a design like this to accommodate you. The best way to determine your ideal width is to try on some rings, either in our showroom or at your local jewelry store. That way, you can see what each feels like on your finger, which can help you to make a more informed decision.
