In jewelry the satin finish is a type of subtle matte finish that resembles a brushed finish but feels smooth and polished to the touch rather than bumpy and textured. While the satin finish is polished, it is not as polished as a mirrored finish so you cannot see your reflection on its surface. The satin finish is a popular choice for people who like a contemporary look. Feel free to read our blog on different jewelry finishes to learn more.
