This custom men’s wedding band was created for a client to his exact specifications. Our designers worked with the customer to make sure the final piece we created was exactly in line with is vision, and the result is this handsome ring. It features mokume gane inlay flanked by platinum rails, and the channel set diamonds running around the edges of the ring tie everything together to create a feeling of refined elegance.

Mokume Gane
The mokume gane technique originated in Japan in the 1700s, and it requires a skilled artisan to execute. It involves layering sheets of different metals and then forging them together to create patterns reminiscent of wood grain. Because of this special forging process, no two mokume gane pieces will have exactly the same pattern, and when it’s included in your ring, you can be sure you have a completely unique piece.
The mokume gane in this ring is made up of 14k rose gold, palladium, and sterling silver, and it runs down the center of the the ring all the way around.
Additional Metals
The outer edges of this piece are composed of platinum rails with a polished finish, flanked on the inside by a rose gold wire inlay. This inlay serves to separate the outer edges from the Mokume at the center of the piece, and it also works to tie all of the various aspects of the ring together. The polished finish of the rails and inlay contrast nicely with the sandblasted finish of the Mokume to further enhance the woodgrain effect of that particular element.
Diamonds
In addition to gorgeous metalwork, this ring also includes some eye-catching diamonds that lend their timeless beauty to this unique design. The diamonds are round brilliant cut, and they are channel set along the fronts of the band so they can be seen from all sides.
One of the most striking things about this ring design is the way it brings so many diverse elements together into a single finished piece. The overall effect is one of classical elegance, and it’s a great choice for a wedding band. You can order it as is, or you can work with one of our designers to add your own unique twist to this handsome ring.
