The History of Hammered Wedding Rings
Hammered wedding bands trace their origins to ancient metalworking, when early civilizations like the Egyptians and Romans shaped rings by hand, leaving natural textures. While polished rings became dominant over time, hammered bands remained popular in medieval and folk traditions, especially among artisans and warriors. The 20th century saw a revival of handcrafted jewelry, with mid-century and modern artisans embracing organic, textured designs. Today, hammered bands symbolize resilience and individuality, blending history with contemporary craftsmanship through mixed metals, custom engravings, and ethical sourcing. Hammered wedding rings are popular for both men and women.
