Mokume-Gane Wedding Bands
Mokume-gane (木目金 Mokume-Gane)
is a mixed-metal laminate with distinctive layered patterns. The name was borrowed from one type of pattern created in the forging of swords and other edged weapons in ancient Japan.
First made in 17th-century Japan, the mixed-metal was used only for sword fittings until the Meiji era, when the decline of the Katana industry forced artisans to create purely decorative items instead.
The inventor, Denbei Shoami (1651–1728), initially called his product "guri bori" for its simplest form's resemblance to Guri, a type of carved lacquerwork with alternating layers of red and black. Other historical names for it were "Kasumi-Uchi" (cloud metal), "Itame-Gane" (wood-grain metal), and "Yosefuki".
The name Mokume-Gane translates “wood grain metal” and represents the wood grain patterns of the technique. The finished product displays myriad layers of coloured metals rippling and flowing in various directions. Each piece of metal is forged and worked by hand to achieve unique patterns. Mokume-Gane is a very difficult and time consuming process.
Mokume-Gane is created using precious and non-ferrous metals such as Platinum, Gold, Palladium, Silver, Copper, Brass and other traditional Japanese alloys.
Cynosure Jewelry proudly manufactures the Mokumé-Gané billets at its studio, using the traditional Japanese techniques in metallurgy combined with the latest high tech equipment to achieve "Fused Bonding Mokume-Gane billets" as is was made in the 17th century in Japan.
These, unique and beautiful pieces of jewelry are designed by Shannon Kennedy and Juan Bohorquez.
