Band Design
This band is platinum and 9mm wide in total. One half of its surface is flat and brushed, giving the metal a somewhat softer appearance. The other half holds the mokume gane inlay, which also features a brushed finish but is set down slightly lower than the platinum on either side.
Bordering the mokume on the outside is a thinner platinum rail, and this is polished to a high shine. The contrast between the matte surface on the rest of the ring and the polish on the rail is subtle, as the surface area of the rail is not that big, but it does help highlight the separation and asymmetry of the design.
Mokume Gane Inlay
The mokume itself is a beautiful combination of 14k rose gold and sterling silver. Its pattern is reminiscent of wood grain, and it’s the product of a special forging process that our artisans have mastered. Mokume Jewelry
The technique used to make mokume gane was developed several hundred years ago in Japan, and it was originally used to make decorative sheaths and handles for samurai swords. Over time, it was adapted for use in fine jewelry as well, and there are quite a few options when it comes to the combinations of metal you can use and the style of pattern that will appear in the finished piece.
