For every custom project we take on, we create high-quality CAD models of the piece as we propose to build it. We’ll share these with you through the online workroom we set up to manage your project, and you can request as many revisions and adjustments to the design as you’d like until you’re sure it’s perfect.
Band Design
The soft curve of the top of this band is considered a half round, and it gives the ring an elegant feel with a bit of classical flair. The interior surface of the ring is slightly domed as well, and this is referred to as a comfort fit design. We can make this for you in a variety of widths as well, depending on your personal tastes.
If you’re not sure exactly how wide you’d like your ring to be, the best thing to do is visit our showroom or your local jeweler to try on some different options and see what’s most comfortable. The typical range for men’s wedding rings is between 6mm and 9mm, and we can accommodate whatever you prefer.
Mokume Gane
The lovely organic patterns displayed in this piece are a product of the way the 14k palladium white gold and sterling silver that make up the ring were combined. To do this, we use a technique developed in Japan several hundred years ago which involves layering thin sheets of various metals together and forging them in a specific way. This process is called mokume gane, and no two rings made using this technique are ever exactly the same. Mokume Jewelry
