At Mokume, we specialize in the ancient Japanese technique of Mokume Gane. Developed in the late 1600s, this technique was originally used to create parts of the samurai's sword handle. The name "Mokume" translates to "wood eye" in Japanese, referring to the beautiful patterns resembling the Burl type of wood grain. "Gane" means "Metal," symbolizing the fusion of metal layers in this intricate process.

Jason Ree, one of Australia's few skilled jewelers in Mokume Gane, brings this highly labor-intensive process to life. Using around 10-30 layers of metals such as platinum, gold, palladium, and silver, Jason Ree clamps and heats the stack in a kiln, allowing the layers to fuse without melting. The resulting stack is then forged and rolled, creating a topographical map-like pattern of merged precious metals.

It's no surprise that Mokume Gane has gained immense popularity in the world of jewelry, particularly for wedding bands. The entwined patterns beautifully symbolize the deep and intertwined love between two individuals. Just like a warrior fights for what they believe in, Mokume Gane represents the notion that true love is always worth fighting for.
