The surface finish of the ring can be chosen from six types to suit your taste: Vintage, Moon, Crystal Hairline, Tree, Stone and Normal (mirror). How it catches light, how well it hides scratches, who it suits — find the character that's right for the two of you, starting here.
Same shape, different light — it all comes down to the finish.
A surface finish is simply how the ring's surface is worked — whether it's hammered, faceted, or polished like a mirror. That alone changes how the ring catches light and how everyday scratches show. At Neu Spur, skilled artisans finish each one by hand.
The ring's surface finish can be chosen from six types to suit your taste. See how each one looks and its character, with photos.
| Surface finish | Look (light) | Scratch resistance | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vintage | Softly shimmers, like dappled sunlight | Hides scratches well (great for daily wear) | Don't want the same as others / everyday wear |
| Moon | Subdued light, a calm, matte texture | Hides scratches well | Likes an understated, refined mood |
| Crystal Hairline | Fine facets sparkle in hairlines | Average | Likes a sharp, modern sparkle |
| Tree | Organic, bark-like shadows | Hides scratches well | Natural / one-of-a-kind character |
| Stone | Bold facets that sparkle from many angles | Average | Strong, striking design |
| Normal (mirror) | Returns light strongly, glamorous brilliance | Shows scratches a little more | Wants glamour and a dressy look |

If you're unsure, use these four points. You'll find the finish that fits your life together.
If you'll keep it on through work and chores, Vintage, Moon and Tree hide scratches well for peace of mind. The more your hands move, the deeper the character grows.
To brighten the fingertips, choose Normal (mirror). For a quietly refined look, Moon. To choose by character and story, Vintage, Tree or Stone.
Even with the same design, the two of you can choose different finishes — one Normal, one Vintage. That's one way to enjoy a pair.
Most models support all six finishes, but Ilka offers only 2 (Vintage and Normal), and Ehren and Flügel offer 5 (all except Moon). Please check each ring's detail page.
A finish's shimmer can't be captured in a photo. Try one on at 27 stores across Japan and overseas.
