You may have recently seen the program "Craftsmanship - how to forge Mokume Gane wedding rings" in the ARD media library. Millions of people were given an insight into this unique Japanese forging technique.
But what makes mokume gane so special - and how can you experience these extraordinary rings with us?
What is mokume gane?
Mokume Gane translates as "wood grain in metal". As early as the 17th century, Japanese masters developed this technique to decorate sword fittings with fascinating patterns.
Today, only a few goldsmiths worldwide forge wedding rings in this elaborate tradition.
The result: rings that look as if nature itself had designed them - each pair is unmistakably unique.
