Mokume Gane originated in Japan back in the 17th century. It was originally used to make Samurai swords. Mokume Gane translates from Japanese into ‘Wood Grain’ a name the process gets from its distinctive pattern. The unique patterns in Mokume Gane are created by fusing different metals into a ‘billet’ (a stack of metals). These billets are then folded & forged & to create the wood grain like appearance. Our Mokume Gane Diamond engagement rings are made in collaboration with world renowned Mokume specialist James Binnion & our own Brighton based goldsmiths & Diamond setters. Each ring is set with a GIA laboratory graded Diamond, for proof of an honest grading.
We can create bespoke Mokume Gane engagement rings with a choice of precious metal combinations, Diamond sizes, colours & charities. We can work to a wide range of budgets but due to the labour intensive nature of the Mokume Gane metal work process, the starting price is around £1995 for 2 white metals & £2795 for 3 or 4 different metals.
