A pair of extraordinary wedding rings are forged - Jabin Mokume Gane
Master goldsmith Markus Wiesner forges a new pair of very extraordinary wedding rings. The Jabin Mokume Gane is intended to provide material and pattern.
The Jabin Mokume Gane
Jabin Mokume Gane is characterized by the welding of 39 layers of three different precious metals. Yellow gold, palladium and silver. The design possibilities within the Jabin Mokume Gane are great. For example, more or less of the stars can be visible. The pattern can also be influenced by re-patterning and different forging processes. The result is always absolutely unique.
The pictures on the right are only an indication. The first production images will be available in the next few days.
Best regards, Michael Wiesner
