Mokume's rich history extends back to the time of the samurai. Mokume gane, which translates from Japanese as "wood grain" or "curly (wood) grain" was used to decorate a samurai's sword.
Jim Binnion, jewelry designer and an internationally recognized master of mokume, pioneered the use of the electric kiln to laminate the metals and continues to refine this method. He has been working exclusively in mokume for over 20 years, perfecting his designs and metal patterns. Jim's mokume rings are custom made to provide you with a unique engagement ring, wedding ring or wedding band. Mokume rings are perfect for either a woman's ring or a man's wedding band.
