raindrops mokume gane ring

Description

this ring is made exclusively of two elements: copper and silver.... These two elements are combined in a centuries old Japanese technique called '''mokume gane''' which roughly translates into english as '''wood grain metal'''...

'mokume gane' (pronounced moe’-koo-may gah’-nay) is an ancient Japanese metallurgy technique where sheets of different types of metal are combined in alternating layers and then fused together under intense heat and pressure.... The resulting sheet is then carved, punched, filed and sanded to pattern the metal and thus reveal the woodgrain-like pattern.... its inventor is credited to be a person named Denbei Shoami (1651-1728); he was from northwest Japan and he mostly made sword hilts (the perpendicular disc up near the handle).....

anyway enough for history.....this particular japanese pattern is called 'raindrops'.... it features cocentric rings evenly spaced across the band.... the exterior rails and inside sheath of the band are both sterling silver.... which is also comprised exclusively of those two elements:silver and copper...... the rails have a hammer forged texture........

it is appropriate for either men or women and is a popular style for wedding rings... this ring is custom made to order and ships within two weeks of your purchase......

upon purchase under notes to seller just let me know what size you would like.... i can do sizes in most any country's various measurement systems ......if you need any help in determining your ring size just let me know...
