MOKUME GANE – GALLERY
MOKUME GANE
Mokume Gane is a traditional Japanese metalworking technique that creates unique patterns reminiscent of wood grain.
The term “Mokume Gane” means “metal wood grain” in Japanese. Different layers of metal alloys are bonded together and processed to create a laminated composite material with characteristic patterns. The process of making Mokume Gane involves several steps.
Typically, thin sheets or foils of various metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and alloys such as Shakudo and Shibuichi are stacked into an ingot. The layers are then bonded together using heat and pressure, creating a solid block of laminated metal. After the block is made, the block is carved, shaped and machined to obtain the desired patterns.
Various techniques such as carving, turning, drilling and milling can be used to expose the different layers of metal and create intricate designs. The block is then flattened and rolled to achieve the desired thickness.
Once the block of metal is prepared, it can be used to create various items such as jewelry, wedding rings, knife handles, decorative items, and even works of art. Mokume Gane's patterns and colors are highly sought after, making it a popular choice for unique and bespoke pieces.
Mokume Gane requires a high level of skill and craftsmanship to achieve precise patterns and a seamless metal blend.
It is a time-consuming and intricate process that combines traditional techniques with artistic vision, producing stunning and unique creations.
Series & prices of mokume gane wedding rings
The prices of Mokume Gane rings are made up of various factors that, when combined, influence the final price. These include:
- the material used and the number of layers,
- the width of the ring and its strength,
- the ring size,
- the manufacturing method, whether the ring is made with or without joints.
In addition, the current precious metal prices also play an important role. Since these are currently subject to very strong fluctuations, it is particularly difficult to give a fixed price. Therefore, the prices listed here only serve as a non-binding price reference to provide you with guidance.
I would be happy to provide you with an exact cost estimate by email or offer you a non-binding personal consultation directly in my workshop.
