The matte finish, also called a satin finish, is lightly textured and absorbs, rather than reflects light. The effect is a sleek and organic looking piece of jewelry. The matte finish can be accomplished in several ways: sandblasting, engraving, or acid dipping. It can be used for jewelry made of gold, silver and other metals and is a popular choice for wedding rings.
