The skin

The bare machined surface, left without further treatment. On copper and brass it will patina immediately with handling; on titanium and steel it shows tool marks, sharp edges, and the…

The living finish of copper and brass: oxidation from skin oils, air, and time that shifts the surface toward browns, blues, and greens. Not a defect — on these metals,…

Colour produced by heating titanium or zirconium — with a torch, oven, or flame — to grow an oxide film on the surface. The same interference principle as anodising, but…

A controlled oxide layer formed on the metal surface. On titanium and zirconium, the colour comes from light interference in the oxide — set by the voltage applied during the…

A reflective, mirror-bright finish achieved by working through progressive abrasion grits to a fine polish. Maximum visual depth and material presence — polished brass glows, polished copper shines rose-gold, polished…

A clean, uniform matte produced by blasting the surface with fine media under pressure. More controlled and even than stonewash, with a consistent grain direction that gives a precise, engineered…

A worn, low-sheen texture made by tumbling the object with abrasive media. The process knocks back the surface uniformly, leaving a matte finish that reads as broken-in from day one.…

An intentionally aged or worn look, applied by the maker rather than accumulated through carry. Scratches, dings, and worn edges are put there on purpose — the aesthetic is rugged…
