Here is a simple, classic wedding band that has been hammered in what is to date our most textured style. In that the pattern is reminiscent of that found on leaves, we decided to name it... "Leaf." It is made in the inviting warmth of 14k palladium white gold.
This highly textured style works equally well with both flat and domed profiles. Nice & solid, the comfort fit band is crafted from hand-milled stock that is 6mm wide and 2mm thick. It has a satin finish.
Your ring will be made from scratch: Dan will alloy an ingot of gold, pour it, hand roll it and finish it to your preference. Because the metal is cold worked, hand forged bands like this one are denser and stronger than bands that are cast.

REGARDING WHITE GOLD & PALLADIUM: we typically make our white gold bands with X1 alloy, which renders the bands extremely white and durable, with no need to rhodium plate. We also are able to make the bands in palladium white gold, which is softer and a bit greyer in color than nickel white gold, but warmer in color than X1 white gold. Palladium 950 is an alternative to platinum, but softer than X1 white gold. The hard qualities of X1 white gold make it an especially good choice for a man's wedding band.
