Mokume gane rings – seamless or with a joint
Without welding point/joint – seamless
A big advantage of seamless rings is the continuous pattern, which is not interrupted and thus creates a particularly harmonious design.
However, there are also some aspects that should be taken into account: The pattern of the surface usually appears less playful.
In addition, more material is required, which increases both consumption and costs - both in terms of raw materials and working time. Nevertheless, many appreciate the elegant simplicity and timeless aesthetics of seamless rings.
With joint/joint
The variant with a joint offers numerous advantages. The targeted use of the material results in less waste, which would otherwise have to be laboriously reprocessed. This not only increases sustainability, but also makes the entire process more efficient. At the same time, this method enables the creation of lively and unique patterns that make each workpiece truly one of a kind.
Another advantage of this technology is the lower costs compared to seamless rings.
A minor disadvantage is that there is a pattern interruption at the welds, but this interruption does not affect the quality of the final product.

Mokume gane rings – torsion.
Torsion describes a mechanical stress in which a body is twisted around its longitudinal axis by a torque. In Mokume Gane, torsion plays a central role in pattern formation. Through targeted twisting, the angles and distances between the metal layers can be controlled, which is crucial for creating the unique pattern. Control over this process makes it possible to create individual and complex patterns that make each piece of jewelry unique.
laser engravings
Laser engravings offer a great way to personalize wedding rings. With a precise laser, personal engravings and texts can be worked directly into the metal. First, we create the template. Then we carefully transfer it to the ring.
Engravings such as names, initials or special dates are often popular and are usually placed on the inside of the ring. These personal details remain discreet and are only visible to the wearer, which makes the ring even more special.
Symbols or patterns can also be laser engraved onto the ring. Whether it is a coat of arms, a symbol or something very personal - we will be happy to implement it.
A big advantage of laser engraving is its precision. We can even create fine details on a small surface area, and the engraving will last for a long time.
And the best thing is: the laser engraving is already included in the price of our wedding rings!
ring size change
Over time, it may be necessary to adjust the ring size - be it due to weight changes, pregnancy or other reasons. Wedding rings are not spared from this either. Fortunately, there are various methods to adjust the ring size so that the ring always sits comfortably and securely on the finger.
This of course also applies to Mokume Gane rings. They can also be customized so that you can continue to enjoy the unique beauty and special craftsmanship of your ring.
