Metal Combinations


Our metal combinations offer you a wide range of choice.  Pairs of rings can be made from the same billet of metal but each ring will have its own distinct pattern.  The letters by the descriptions are used to facilitate ordering (the first letter in the ring codes).

Sterling silver is the whitest in color of the metals we use. Rings with sterling tend to best show the contrast of the metals. Etched rings better show the pattern than non-etched rings.  Etched rings require sterling silver in the mokume.
