“With its enchanting swirl of precious metals, mokume gane makes for a truly unique wedding ring. This ancient Japanese art fuses contrasting metals together, creating a signature, wood-like pattern (the name roughly translates to ‘wood grain metal’) which is individual to each piece.
Mokume gane wedding rings can be crafted from any combination of yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and/or silver, with each variation creating one-off results. Our in-house team of expert jewellers will assist you in exploring the possibilities of this fascinating and beautiful technique. No matter what style you are hoping to incorporate this beautiful metalwork into, we’ll work with you to create a bespoke mokume gane wedding band that will last a lifetime.
Mokume Gane (pronounced mok–u–may) is an ancient Japanese technique where layers of contrasting metals are fused together and then forged and shaped. As the metal is worked the different colours are raised to the surface creating beautiful woodgrain-like patterns. Each pattern is unique in its own way, and you will never find two rings the same. Mokume can be made using white gold, yellow gold and/or rose gold in combination with silver.
The range of Mokume wedding bands shown on our website is only a small selection of what is possible, and we encourage you to come in and speak to one of our jewellers, who will help you choose a Mokume wedding ring that is perfect for you.

Mokume-gane is a technique rather than a particular metal. Precious metals – such as yellow gold, rose gold, white gold and silver – are stacked in layers, fused together with heat and skillfully shaped into the desired shape. The technique was developed in 17th century Japan, and creates a swirling appearance, similar to a wood grain, that is completely unique to each mokume-gane ring.
Damascus and mokume-gane are two different metalworking techniques with results that appear similar, but are actually quite different, specifically in the materials used. Damascus (which is often referred to as damascus steel) uses metals containing iron such as steel, while mokume-gane uses non-ferrous metals (i.e. not containing iron), usually precious metals, such as gold and silver.
Examples of our classic styles of mokume-gane wedding rings are available on our website, with prices listed on each product page in the range, If you're hoping to create a different design in this style, the prices of bespoke rings will depend on factors such as the precious metals and gemstones used. For customised pieces, we recommend requesting a consultation with our jewellers, who will be able to provide more accurate pricing for what you are envisioning.
The iconic pattern of mokume-gane is similar to that of a wood grain. However, due to the nature of the production process, each mokume-gane piece is inherently unique and no two patterns are exactly the same. This means that all ready-to-wear and custom mokume-gane rings are truly one-off pieces.
Mokume-gane wedding rings are increasingly desirable for their eye-catching patterns and individuality. The technique has become popular with those searching for a unique expression of love or a piece that is truly individual.
