Japanese for "Wood-grained metal", Mokume Gane is an ancient technique using contrasting metals to achieve a wood like pattern. 

For a brief explanation of the process click here.

  This is a large sheet that we patterned for our business cards and other graphics.  It is 22k Gold, Sterling Silver, and Shakudo.

The combinations we do include, but are not limited to, are as follows:

• 22k Gold, Sterling Silver, and Shakudo
• Palladium and Sterling Silver
• Sterling Silver, Nickel Silver, and Silicon Bronze
• Sterling Silver and Shakudo
• Nickel Silver and Sterling Silver

The pattern goes all the way around the ring.  Sometimes it is hard to show this with still pictures. 

  We are working on our secondary site, as we have had so much interest in the technique known as Mokume Gane.  Meaning "wood-grained metal" in Japanese, it is a combining of contrasting metals through heat and pressure to create a laminate.  Through forging and twisting we use this laminate to create jewelry which is unique and very eye-catching.  It is a very labor intensive process and the price reflects this, however if you want jewelry that is completely unique, then Mokume Gane may be the technique for you.
