Matte Finish Jewelry

Matte finish jewellery is the jewellery that has gone through a chemical process or the use of an abrasive material to rub the jewellery piece's surface, to bring in a non-reflective and dull surface. This makeover gives the jewellery a subtle and warm look, quite different from the glossy appearance. It's relatively easy to phase this effect in jewellery piece made of gold, silver, and other metals.

Another term used to denote matte finish is the satin finish. The phasing process in this attractive appearance entails brushes or abrasives on the related metal surface. The surface will get a soft, warm glow and is not reflective or shiny because of this process. These are the finishing techniques applied to the jewel surfaces to bring in the typically attractive matte finish.

Here we list a simple do-it-yourself method for creating a matte-finished piece from a glossy one if you desire so.

Steps to create a matt-finished piece of jewellery from a glossy-finished one:

• Take an abrasive pad like the Scotch Brite
• Cut out a small piece and gently rub it against the jewellery piece that you wish to change.
• Once you obtain the desired finish, wash the jewellery piece with soap and warm water using a soft brush if you want.

Matte finish is a finishing process for a jewellery piece. A surface with more in-depth texture/design may look better with a patina finish, and the matte finish is the best option for a smooth surface.

Jewellers always make it a point to give utmost perfection while doing the polishing task and gradually do the process until they get the optimum result. For this, they use a few tools and techniques. Unwanted marks are removed from the design by gently using sandpaper of the correct grit. They use hands or a mechanical tool for the process. Besides, they also use higher grit sandpaper to obtain the desired surface. Finally, sandpaper coated with wax and is gentle on the surface is used to make the surface smooth. After sanding, the polishing of the surface happens. For this, polishing compounds are used. Polishing is followed by cleaning to bring the cover to the desired appearance and finish. Cleaning and polishing cloths are used for this purpose.
