What is Mokume Gane Art?
Mokume Gane is not commonly a term recognized by the general public. It refers to an ancient metalworking technique. This is done completely by hand and consists of using heat pressure to alloy a series of precious metals including white gold, yellow gold, red gold, palladium, and silver. The resulting piece can be twisted and carved into a wide variety of designs. Designs include oceans, canyons, woods, and much more.

Mokume Gane earrings are perfect for any occasion. They come in a variety of shapes including triangular drops, rectangles, and hoops. The client can choose the type of metal used, as well as the design. Each piece is handcrafted, so no two pieces are exactly like.

The designer will present you with different photographs and sketches until a design is agreed upon. Customers can even choose to incorporate more than one type of metal, if you happen to be looking for a multi-colored piece of jewelry.
