MOKUME GANE ENGAGEMENT RINGS

If you are looking for a unique wedding band, Mokume-Gane may be what you are looking for. Ancient japanese techniques result in a unique look that will surely make other people ask where you obtained it from.

Japanese craftsmen are well known for their ability to transform a sheet of steel into beautiful masterpieces such as samurai swords. Over the centuries they refined their strategies and developed unique processing techniques that result in an amazing and unique end product. Over time, they applied this newly gained knowledge upon other products such as knifes and rings. One traditional decoration technique being employed by craftsmen is Mokume Gane. It was first utilized by Denbei Shoami in the 17th century. Moku means wood, me translates into eye and gane stands for metal.



Mokume gane rings can be hard to find as the craftsmanship involved in the creation is not available everywhere. Accordingly, you are best advised to start your research on the internet. Various websites by jewelers and other professionals offer their services and allow you to pick your preferred style, the desired design and, most important, the metals itself. Be aware that a lot of the rings available should be verified prior to a purchase. There is nothing more disappointing than shelling out your hard-earned money for something that is either of low quality, does not meet your standards or was produced by a person not adept with the techniques of mokume gane. If you compare typical engagement rings with mokume gane rings, you might notice a slightly higher price for the latter. This typically reflects the craftsmanship and scarcity of the metals involved.
