Used to create a distinctive and decorative effect, milgrain edging creates the impression of small beads ringing the edges of a ring.  It allows new rings to achieve the appearance of treasured antiques, and offers a stunning yet understated alternative to the brightness and shine of the typical flat polish of modern engagement and wedding rings. 

Literally meaning “a thousand grains,” milgrain has long been favored by those seeking a unique and one-of-a-kind element to their jewelry. Typically applied to the outer edges of a band ring or to finish off the edge of any metal setting, milgrain has been used as a decorative jewelry element in various cultures for thousands of years. Milgrain comes in different sizes, from barely discernible patterns to easily visible individual beads.

To achieve a milgrain effect, tiny beads are added either by soldering individual beads directly onto a metal surface or by rolling a milgraining tool over a metal surface to create a row of bumps. Computers may also be used to incorporate the milgrain edging into the model used for the final casting of a ring.
