Bubinga – Three-tone Mokume Gane rings with a delicate woodgrain pattern in yellow gold, palladium, and silver

Bubinga combines warm gold tones with light palladium and silver to create a delicate, flowing woodgrain pattern. What makes this combination of materials special is its understated color effect: the rich yellow gold appears significantly lighter and softer thanks to the fine silver and palladium lines.

The result is tri-colored Mokume Gane rings that, despite their different precious metals, appear harmonious and serene. The natural grain makes each pair of rings a one-of-a-kind piece.

Delicate wood-grain pattern made from three precious metals

For Bubinga, we use 750 yellow gold, 500 palladium, and 925 silver. The different precious metals are permanently bonded together in multiple layers and then forged and shaped.

This process creates the characteristic wood-like pattern directly from the material itself. The grain is not engraved or applied afterward. Every line is part of the bonded layers of precious metals.

Since the pattern develops during the handcrafted process, the design can never be exactly replicated. Every Bubinga ring therefore has its own unique grain.

An Unusually Light Gold Effect

Although Bubinga contains 750 yellow gold, the color combination appears surprisingly light. The fine lines of palladium and silver break up the rich gold tone and create a delicate, warm interplay of colors.

This makes Bubinga ideal for couples who find classic yellow gold too intense but still don’t want to completely forego warm gold tones.

Seamlessly forged

Bubinga is forged seamlessly. As a result, the wood grain pattern wraps around the entire ring without a visible solder joint.

We craft the rings from solid Mokume Gane layered material. The visible grain is an integral part of the ring itself and not a surface design applied afterward.

Custom-Made for You

The pair of rings shown here exemplifies the typical character of bubinga. Your rings will be custom-made just for you. Therefore, the grain pattern of your ring pair will never exactly match the image shown.

Ring width, ring size, finish, and other design details can be tailored to your preferences. Bubinga has a slightly domed profile on both the inside and outside and can be crafted in various ring widths.

Extraordinary wedding rings with a subtle character

Bubinga demonstrates that extraordinary wedding rings don’t necessarily have to be flashy. The delicate wood grain pattern and the balanced combination of warm and light precious metals give these rings their special character without appearing overpowering.

It is precisely this contrast that makes Bubinga so intriguing: The intricate Mokume Gane forging technique is clearly visible, yet the overall effect remains harmonious and elegant.

Hand-forged in our goldsmith’s workshop

Each pair of Bubinga rings is individually crafted. Master goldsmith Markus Wiesner has been forging Mokume Gane rings since 2006 and develops the characteristic grain pattern during the artisanal processing of the layered material.

You will therefore not receive an industrially reproduced pattern, but rather two rings crafted individually for you with a design that is unique to this one-of-a-kind piece.
