In the field of metal decoration, surface treatment processes play a key role in defining the character and charm of each piece. These processes are not just technical steps; They are artistic expressions that breathe life into metal, giving it a unique identity. Understanding these processes can help you find the jewelry that suits you faster.
1. Polishing process:
Polished jewelry is the most popular choice among consumers and has a classic and traditional look. This is a process that is easily noticed because of its luster, hence the name "polishing". The surface of a polished ring is so shiny that you can see your own reflection in the polished ring.
2.Matte process:
The matte process refers to incomplete polishing, which makes the ring look a bit old and retro. Matte process is also a common process, mainly used in some traditional retro styles.
3. Frosting process:
Use sandpaper to rub the surface of the ring regularly and the feeling of fine sand will appear, which is called "sanding" process. The frosting process ranks second in popularity among jewelry consumers after the polishing process. If you want something hazy rather than shiny and smooth, a matte finish is the way to go.
4. Wire drawing process:
The process of using a wire brush to continuously etch tiny lines on the surface of the ring is called the "drawing" process. Brushed is a non-reflective finish with a subtle, tasteful shimmer. Similar to the satin matte finish, the brushed finish lacks shine.
5.Glass sandblasting art:
A texture that creates hundreds of tiny dimples on the surface.
6..Ice pattern technology:
Unique matte finish with irregular line structure.
7. Stone pattern technology:
This is a more aggressive matte finish with a surface similar to the look of stone. It is formed by tiny needles repeatedly hitting the metal surface, creating an all-over, even texture.
8. Hammer pattern process:
Popular for its unique look, hammered hoop decorations are undoubtedly a crowd favorite. The hammered finish adds texture to the precious metal. Using a light hammer along the ring's surface, the jeweler will create a textured, imperfect look designed to increase the amount of light reflected from the ring's textured bands, creating a striking, one-of-a-kind ring.
9. Florentine craftsmanship:
Refers to a crisscross pattern with delicate textures. The Florentine Band adds a touch of romance and sophistication to the ring, with its contours and lines designed to complement the natural luster and sparkle of the diamond center stone by reflecting light back into the center of the diamond.
Whether it’s the classic shine of polished jewelry, the vintage appeal of matte finishes, or the intricate details of ice texture technology, each technique adds a layer of personality to the metal. These treatments are not just decorations, but also touches of craftsmanship! After understanding these nine techniques, incorporate these accessories into your outfit to add more charm to you!
