One of the charms of handmade wedding rings is the texture known as hammered.

The hammered textures are loved and popular due to their uniqueness. Even with the same hammer, it produces varying results in different people's hands, making every handmade ring the only one in the world. Couples, friends, and families can also choose to make the jewelry for one another, giving more special meanings to the handmade jewelry—one filled with love and thoughts of one another.

Another fun thing about the hammered texture is the rhythmical clinking sound that resonates when the hammer comes in contact with the ring on the metal rod.
