Read the full description
Our custom design process is set up to ensure your complete satisfaction with the piece we produce for you. That’s why you can request modifications to our CAD models as many times as you’d like, and we won’t put anything into production until you’ve given your explicit approval. We can even grow a wax representation of your piece for you to inspect in person, so you can be absolutely sure what we’ve designed is perfect for you in every way.
Mokume Gane
The main feature of this ring is the mokume gane inlay that runs all the way around the middle of the band. It’s made up of 14k rose gold and sterling silver, and these two metals were layered and then forged together to create the flowing, organic patterns you see here. Mokume Jewelry
Mokume gane patterns are often thought to be reminiscent of wood grain, although there are some more geometrically-styled patterns that we can produce as well. No two mokume gane patterns will ever be identical, which is part of what makes it such an intriguing feature to include in your ring. If you see a design that you like in one of the pieces in our showroom or on our website, however, we can use the same process for your piece to generate an expected pattern match of about 80%.

Band Design and Customization
The mokume section dominates the top of the ring, and it’s framed nicely by the yellow gold rails that border it on either side. The band itself is half-round, which helps push the mokume even more into the forefront, as it sits at the highest point while the rails slope away towards the edges. Both the rails and the mokume feature a brushed finish, and this gives the ring a soft, matte surface that enhances the warm tones of the metals to create a more classical feel for the piece.
