Description
This exquisite men’s wedding ring features a mokume gane inlay bordered by white gold rails, with four accent diamonds flush set in the mokume. It was created for a client from Bellevue, WA, who first came into our showroom to pick out the type of ring he wanted.
Read the full description
After spending some time with him in person, we took his inspiration piece and the details he gave about how he wanted to customize it, and came up with a unique design that we then shared with him online. He liked the models we showed him very much and he gave his approval for us to move his ring into production.
Mokume Inlay
The mokume gane portion of this ring is made up of 14k palladium white gold and sterling silver. To create the beautiful, organic patterns seen here, the metals were layered together and then forged using a centuries-old technique first developed in Japan for use in decorative sheaths and handles for samurai swords.
Because of the nature of the forging process, no two pieces of mokume every come out exactly alike. However, if you like the patterns you see here, we can use the same combination of metals and the same process, and you can expect about an 80% pattern match. Mokume Jewelry
Contrasting Finishes
The mokume section of this ring features a sandblasted finish, while the 14k white gold rails are polished to a high shine. The contrast this creates enhances the separation between the two sections, and it gives the design an additional layer of depth as well.
Accent Diamonds
This ring also includes four diamonds, which are evenly spaced around the band. They are flush set, with each one sitting just off the corner of one of the faces of the squared band. These diamonds were taken from a ring that had been passed down in the client’s family, making them an especially significant inclusion and a wonderful way to add a personal touch to such a special piece.
