When a jeweler uses the word "finish", they are generally referring to the condition of the metal in the ring. The most common finishes are:
There is another kind of finish though, that can only be achieved with titanium. Well, that is not exactly true as you can also anodize Aluminum, but let's face it - no one really wears aluminum jewelry. This beautiful and colorful finish is called Anodization.
Anodized titanium refers to a surface treatment process that thickens the natural oxide oayer on titanium using an electrolyte bath and electrical current, enhancing durability and creating vibrant colors without dyes. In short, we drop the ring into a vat of liquid and run electricity through. Different volts of electricity change the surface of the titanium to different colors. Anodizing, again, is a finish - not a material (like stone or resin). So, it will certainly wear like any finish on any piece of jewerly.
The most popular colors for Anodizing are:
Anodizing is especially fun if you are also going to engrave your ring as the engraving comes through the color as silver and really stands out beautifully.

FAQs
Q: How do I get sized?
A: WE STRONGLY SUGGEST PURCHASING MINTER & RICHTER CUSTOM SIZERS to guarantee you get the absolute perfect fit for your ring. The industry-wide standard for ring size carries many variables (different measuring tools, ring widths, ring materials, and design). Factory-made bands are sized LESS accurately than our handmade bands. Therefore, getting sized at a factory jewelry store does not guarantee that the size will be correct. We offer Sizing Exchanges for life for half price. But getting Custom Sizers ensures that you will not need a sizing exchange. A sizing exchange is 50% the cost of the original if you were not sized on our custom sizers.
- Minter & Richter Custom Aluminum Sizers ($45 for a set of 3 sizers): If you have a general idea of what your ring size might be, we can make you a set of custom aluminum sizers (plain aluminum bands) in three different sizes at your preferred width. This allows you to spend time wearing each sizer for a day or two and finding out which one offers the most comfortable fit. Finger size can fluctuate slightly throughout the day due to water intake, temperature, etc. so this is an excellent way to get an accurate representation of exactly how your final ring will fit. We request that customers purchase their final ring(s) at the same time as the sizers. We will ship you the sizers along with a SASE for convenient return (domestic only – international must pay for return shipping). Once you confirm your ring size we begin making your rings with unconventional ring materials!
(**Please note that sizers can add approximately 2 weeks to order processing.)
