The top of this ring has a soft, brushed texture that absorbs light, set against highly polished sides that reflect it. This creates a quiet contrast that shifts and changes as you turn the ring on your finger.
This is a two-tone band. The centre section is 14k rose gold, with a distinct, straight-grain brushed finish that runs along its circumference. This part sits slightly raised from the edges, which are made of 14k white gold. The edges and the entire inside of the ring are mirror-polished, creating a sharp line where the two different finishes meet. The profile is a classic D-shape, flat on the inside and gently domed on the outside.
We make this ring in either 14k or 18k gold. The one you see here is 14k two-tone, which means it’s made from 58.3% pure gold that's alloyed with other metals for strength and colour. This makes it durable enough for constant wear, so you won't have to worry about taking it off for daily tasks. The two colours aren't plated; they are two separate pieces of solid gold, fused together. Which means the colour will never rub off or fade over time.

People choose this ring when they want something more than a plain band but don't want anything too ornamental. The 5mm width is substantial without feeling bulky, and the brushed finish hides the minor scratches that come with everyday life much better than a fully polished ring would.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the brushed finish on my two-tone gold wedding ring wear off?
The brushed finish will slowly soften and develop a natural patina over time as it comes into contact with other surfaces. It won't "wear off" because it's a texture carved into the solid gold, not a coating. We can easily re-apply the original brushed finish for you if you ever want it refreshed.
Is it safe to wear my 14k gold ring in the shower?
Yes, it's perfectly safe to wear your 14k gold ring in the shower. Water and standard soaps won't harm the gold. We do recommend rinsing it after, as some harsh soaps or shampoos with strong chemicals could dull the finish over time, and soap scum can build up.
How should a 5mm wide wedding band fit on my finger?
A 5mm band should feel snug but comfortable. It needs to slide over your knuckle with a bit of resistance but shouldn't feel tight or constricting once it's on. Because wider bands like this one fit more snugly than thinner rings, we often suggest going up a quarter or half size from your usual measurement.
