Whether you want to visit us in person in our Bellevue, WA showroom, or you prefer to communicate with our team online, we’re committed to bringing you a high-quality custom piece that you’re completely satisfied with in every way.
Mokume Gane
The swirling organic designs you see in this ring are created by blending 14k rose gold, palladium, 14k white gold, and sterling silver using the mokume gane technique. This involves layering the metals together, twisting, and then forging them, and the specific method used will determine the type of pattern that shows through in the finished piece.
Due to the nature of this process, which was developed in Japan several hundred years ago, no two mokume gane pieces will ever be exactly the same. That makes including it in your ring a great way to ensure it’s truly unique. But if you see a type of pattern that you like in an existing piece, we can use the same metal combinations and forging technique to product about an 80% pattern match. Mokume Jewelry
Band Design and Contrasting Finishes
This band is 8mm wide, and the half round style gives it a slightly domed shape. The center mokume section features a sandblasted finish, and this contrasts nicely with the high polish found on the unplated white gold rails. This use of contrasting finishes provides just enough of a separation between the two sections of the ring, making it clear where their respective boundaries are despite the similarity of their colors.
Customization Options
There are quite a few ways you can customize this piece, including choosing a different combination of metals or a different pattern type for the mokume section. You could also switch to an alternative metal for the rails to add some additional contrast to the ring, and you could experiment with different finish combinations until you’ve captured exactly the look you’re after.
