Start Here: Pattern Options for your Mokume Gane Wedding Band or Ring

One of the first chocies to determine is what kind of design pattern you'd like your mokume gane ring or wedding band to feature. This is the unique wood grain characteristic mokume gane is known for. During the process of creating your ring, we're able to manipulate the metals to achieve a variety of distinct wood grain patterns to your liking. 

Mokume Gane Finish Pattern - Wood Grain (Straight) 

The straight wood grain pattern offers a traditional mokume gane look and feed. This pattern option gives your wedding band or ring a very natural look and feel, mimicking traditional wood grain.

The movement wood grain pattern offers a spin on the standard wood grain texture. Think of this option as wood grain featuring more knots.  This mokume gane pattern gives your wedding band or ring the wood grain effect with more deviations throughout.
