Whether you’d like to come into our Bellevue, WA showroom personally to view some sample pieces and get the custom design process underway, or you’d rather work with our design team online, we’re committed to creating your dream ring. We develop CAD representations of each custom design piece we make, and we’ll share these with you so that you can make sure each detail is perfect before giving your approval for us to begin production.
Mokume Gane
The beautiful organic patterns in this ring are the result of the mokume gane forging process. This is a technique that was developed several hundred years ago in Japan for use in making decorative sheaths and hilts for samurai swords. It involves layering thin sheets of different types of metal together and then forging them in a particular way. The technique is quite difficult to master, and our expert artisans have many years of experience, which allows them to produce wonderful pieces like the one seen here. Men’s Custom Wedding Bands
The mokume in this particular ring is made from a combination of 14k rose gold, 14k palladium white gold, and sterling silver. It’s also sandblasted to create a soft matte surface that helps highlight the warm tones of the metals. Because no two mokume rings are exactly alike, you could use this same combination of metals and still have a completely unique piece. But if you like the general pattern you see here, we can use the same technique to make yours and come out with about an 80% match.
Contrasting Finishes
The white gold of the rails that border the mokume section contrast beautifully with the rich colors of the inlay, and this separation is further highlighted by the use of a high polish finish on the rails. These contrasting finishes are a subtle touch that has a significant impact on the overall appearance of the ring, and it’s an area that you may consider customizing as well.
