A flat hammer provides a larger faceted surface while a ball-peen hammer makes more of an indent in the surface. It all depends on the hand hammered textured by the artist.

In some cases, it is fun to mix a hammered finish with other surfaces such as the stone finish on this stunning ring. This is cobalt chrome with alternating finishes and 24 black diamonds set in six channels. WOW!

Hammered and stone finish Cobalt Chrome with black diamonds.

When I see a hammer surface ring, I think of a cobblestone walkway, a trail in a forest or a stone path. It also reminds me of hand laid stone fences in New England that are still perfect–hundreds of years later.

Hammered rings are all uniquely textured where no two are exactly alike. You can specify an aggressive or softer look.

Hammered rings wear wonderfully over a lifetime. And because they already have an irregular surface, an inevitable ding or scratch on your ring is just part of the ever-emerging look. With a hammered ring, you don’t have to worry about keeping your ring perfect and scratch-free, as the impressions or dents from a life lived to the fullest just add character to the ring, perfect for a lifetime.
