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. Absolute Titanium Design is proud to offer you titanium rings with this delicate exotic and ancient art-form inlays - all hand crafted.
Your choice consists of: Chaos, Ripple, Scale, Labyrinth, Puddles and Leopard. |

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. |
