Mokume Gane is an ancient metal forging technique that creates incredible, multi-coloured, swirling patterns. While the Mokume Gane style is recognisable from piece to piece, the nuances of each one is entirely unique. This makes it a wonderful choice for a one of a kind, custom made wedding ring. From the metal colours, to the shape of the band, and the patterns that emerge as the precious metals are worked, every detail comes together to create a design that no one else in the world will own.
Here are 3 Mokume Gane wedding ring designs showing the versatility of this type of ring making, to inspire your own unique piece.
1. Yellow, White and Grey Mokume Gane Ring
Classic yellow gold swirling through this Mokume Gane wedding ring creates a traditional feel to the design, emphasised by the classic low dome profile. A yellow gold sleeve lines the inside of the ring bringing an element of luxury and satisfying heft to the handmade piece.
2. White and Grey Mokume Gane Ring
While multiple colours are needed to create a Mokume Gane design, using metals in the same colour family allows for patterning with contrast, not colour. Light grey (silver) and dark grey (white gold) in this Mokume Gane wedding ring create a distinct pattern with their contrast alone, while remaining an all ‘white’ metal piece. The flatter profile with slightly curved edges creates a modern look, with the comfort of a well shaped band.
3. Rose, White and Grey Mokume Gane Ring
Rose gold is an often overlooked metal choice for wedding rings, and is an excellent metal to include in Mokume Gane designs. Here, its warmth contrasts beautifully with the deep grey and bright white tones of the metals alongside it. A solid rose gold sleeve finishes off the wedding ring beautifully, for a modern, one of a kind, statement wedding ring design.
