Signs of wearing the ring such as scratches are inevitable for all the different finishes.

The ring has an organic look. Some parts are polished, some have a satin finish or are rough. The effect is created by a different manufacturing process whereby the precious metal is poured into a mould. Such a mould is handmade by our goldsmith designer. This is also referred to as lost wax casting.
The Traditions collection allows you to choose from 4 different finishes for each Traditions ring. The AMICI-box allows you to choose from polished or matt. Would you like a specific ring finish from one of our other collections? Please visit your jeweller. First we need to check whether it is technically possible to achieve what you are asking. We do this in consultation with our goldsmiths and production manager. This is what we call a ‘special’.
