Mokume's history extends back to the time of the samurai, when mokume gane was used to decorate the samurai's sword. Mokume translates from Japanese as "wood eye" referring to burl wood grain and gane means "metal". Today, mokume refers to the metal lamination technique with a variety of patterns.
Jim has been working in mokume for over 20 years perfecting his electric kiln method for laminating mokume as well as his designs and patterns. Sheets of platinum, gold alloys and sterling silver are fused together, then forged and carved to create each unique pattern.
Though the majority of his work is in wedding rings, engagement rings and commitment rings, Jim has a full line of jewelry.
