Mokume Gane
is an ancient Japanese metalsmithing art, used at its
early development in the production of Samurai swords,
as well as, out of Japan, in the production of the notorious
"Damascus Swords". In Japanese, Mokume-Gane
means “wood grain metal”. Alternating layers of metal
are diffusion bonded into a single billet. In the finishing
process the various layers are made to show and display
fabulous patterns depending on the number of layers, their
order, metal selection and arrangement within each layer.

rings with this delicate exotic and ancient art-form inlays

Rings
Sterling Silver/Copper Mokume-Gane (Our Chaos,
Scale, Leapord and Ripple Mokume Gane patterns)
Three classic patterns produced by bumping up or gouging
the surface of a flat billet and then filed to reveal
the pattern. Each piece is individually rolled and hand
worked. No two are exactly alike! Ripple and Chaos patterns
are twenty-one layers with heavy sterling silver backs.
The ladder pattern is twenty-seven layers.
Sterling Silver/Copper/Shibuichi Mokume-Gane
(Our Labyrinth Mokume-Gane pattern)
Labyrinth: Five alternating layers (4 colors!) on a
heavy sterling silver back.
22K Gold/Sterling Silver Random Mokume-Gane (Our
Puddles Mokume Gane pattern)
A delicate and exquisite Japanese traditional Mokume-Gane
classic. Very light and subtle. Twenty-seven(27) layers
of alternating gold(42%) and sterling(58%) ending with
a sterling back(See the pattern above). The silver is
twice as thick as the gold. $150 extra charge applies.
Shakudo/Sterling Silver Bi-Metal (Our Leopard
Mokume-Gane pattern)
A random pattern of dots has been incised through the
Shakudo (dark pickled alloy consisting mainly of copper
and gold) to reveal the silver backing.
Important Note: Since Mokume-Gane inlays
are all handmade and unpredictable in their fine detail,
the connecting point of the inlay may show a slight
disruption of the repetitive motiff and/or a fine connection
area, artfully belnding to our craftsmen's best of ability.
