Unlike a standard flat or domed ring, the surface of this band is concave, dipping into a shallow curve. It’s a design choice that changes how light reflects, creating a soft line down the centre instead of a hard glare.
This is a 3.5mm wide band with a unique concave profile. The top surface dips inward, and this channel has a fine, horizontal brushed finish that diffuses light. It's framed by two thin, raised edges that are polished to a high shine. The inside of the ring is also polished, which makes it comfortable to slide on and off. At 2mm thick, the band feels solid on the finger.
We make this ring in your choice of 14k or 18k solid gold. 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold, which means it’s a very durable alloy that holds up well to daily wear. 18k gold is 75% pure gold, giving it a richer feel. Both are nickel-free. The entire ring is plated with rhodium—a hard, silvery-white metal from the platinum family. This gives it a bright, reflective white colour and adds a layer of scratch resistance. The plating will wear over time, but can be easily reapplied.

People choose this ring when they want something more than a simple band, but don't want anything too loud. The concave profile is modern, and the mixed brushed and polished finishes add detail without being flashy. It’s a comfortable, solid-feeling ring that has a bit of design to it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my white gold wedding band look like it's turning yellow over time?
Your white gold ring isn't turning yellow; you're likely seeing the natural, warmer colour of the gold underneath as the rhodium plating wears away. We plate all our white gold rings with rhodium for a bright white finish. This wear is normal with any white gold jewellery and can be fixed by having the ring re-plated by a jeweller.
Is it safe to shower or wash my hands while wearing my brushed gold wedding ring?
Yes, it is perfectly safe to shower and wash your hands with your gold ring on. Soap and water won't harm the gold. However, be aware that over time, lotions and soaps can build up, especially in the brushed texture. You can clean it easily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
How does the 3.5mm width of this wedding band feel on the finger compared to wider rings?
A 3.5mm band is a great middle-ground width that feels substantial without being bulky. It's comfortable for most people and doesn't restrict finger movement. If you're used to wider rings (6mm or more), this will feel noticeably lighter. If you're not used to wearing rings, it's an easy width to get accustomed to.
