4mm Knife-Edge Wedding Band – Polished Solid 14K Gold
4mm Knife-Edge Wedding Band in Solid 14K Gold Two polished planes rising to a soft central ridge, cast in solid 14K gold at a 4mm width. A knife-edge band is the one profile that changes as you move — each flank catches light on its own, so the ridge reads as a bright line running around the finger. It gives a plain gold band a spine, without adding a single ornament. Made to order in our Woodside, Queens workshop. The Knife-Edge Profile Where a dome curves continuously and a flat band sits level, a knife-edge angles up from both rims to meet at a defined center line. The two faces sit at different angles to the light, which means one is almost always brighter than the other — that contrast is what makes the profile read as sharp and architectural rather than soft. The ridge itself is finished slightly rounded, not literally sharp, so it wears comfortably and does not cut into a neighbouring finger. Why This Instead of a Bevel We make a beveled band at this same width, and the two are often confused. A bevel chamfers the two outer edges and leaves the center face flat, so the ring keeps a broad plateau across the top. A knife-edge removes that plateau entirely — the faces run straight to the ridge. The result is a slimmer, more angular read on the hand and a much stronger play of light. Choose the bevel if you want a flat surface with softened corners; choose this if you want the band itself to have an edge. The Fit At 4mm this stays slim and unobtrusive, and because the profile tapers rather than sitting flat, it reads even lighter on the hand than the measurement suggests. The interior is comfort-fit, gently domed so the band clears the knuckle without dragging and sits without pressure points through a long day. Choosing Your Metal Yellow gold gives the ridge its warmest glow and the most traditional read. White gold is where this profile is at its sharpest — the contrast between the two lit faces is strongest in a cool metal, and the band reads almost like folded steel. Rose gold sits between them and softens the whole geometry. Each band is cast in the metal you choose, solid throughout — never plated, never gold-filled. Made to Order in Queens We hold no inventory. When your order arrives, this band is cast in your size and your metal, then the ridge is cut and both faces polished by hand at our bench in Woodside. Production runs two to three weeks before it ships free and fully insured. Every piece carries a lifetime warranty on workmanship and free resizing, and non-engraved bands can be returned within fourteen days. A Width or Finish We Don't List If you want this knife-edge wider, in a satin finish, or as a slimmer matching band for a partner, write to me. I cut these one at a time — the width is a decision, not a limitation.
