Description
This beautiful men’s wedding ring features a mokume gane center inlaid into a polished platinum ring. It was created for a client from Snohomish, WA, who came into our Bellevue showroom personally to get the custom design process started and then gave his final approval to begin production after viewing models of his ring online.

Mokume Inlay
The center band of this ring is a mokume gane inlay, which is created using a special technique developed in Japan centuries ago. It involves combining thin sheets of several different types of metal, and then forging them in a particular way to create the kinds of organic patterns seen here.
Because of the nature of the mokume process, no two pieces will every come out exactly the same. However, if you like the design you see here, we can make a ring for you using the same combination of metals and the same process, and you can expect about an 80% match in terms of the pattern.
The mokume in this ring is made from 14k rose gold, 14k palladium white gold, and sterling silver, and it also features a sandblasted finish for a lovely matte effect. There are many other options in terms of the combinations of metals that can be used to create the mokume, and our staff will be happy to show you different examples until you find the one that delivers the look you are after.

Contrasting Finishes
The mokume band is bordered by platinum rails on either side, and the separation between the two sections is highlighted by the contrast between the sandblasted mokume and the high polish on the platinum.
You have many other finish options available to you, as well. For instance, you could use a brushed finish on both sections for a more understated look. Or you could opt for a contemporary style and polish the entire ring. Even if you’re not sure how to achieve the type of style you want, our team will show you examples and make suggestions until you are 100% satisfied with the ring we make for you.
