Mokume Gane, which translates to “wood-grain metal,” is a centuries-old Japanese technique that involves layering and fusing different metals to create stunning patterns resembling wood grain. The metals used typically include precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, as well as others such as copper and shakudo. Each metal layer is carefully fused together through heat and pressure, and then the artisan carves, polishes, and etches the surface to reveal the intricate patterns beneath. It’s essential to understand the labor-intensive craftsmanship that goes into creating Mokume Gane rings, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
