Mountain’s Majesty – Mokume and Silver Wedding Rings

Posted on May 15, 2013 by

mokumemountainMountain’s Majesty – Mokume and Silver Wedding Rings

Brushed silver and copper mokume combine with silver overlay and blackened silver to create rings that celebrate the beauty of the mountains here in the southwest. The copper is left raw and will deepen in color with age, just like the wild nature of this part of the world.

I love that the mokume can either represent the layers of earth in the mountains, or can represent the swirling of the wind in the sky.

These rings are commissioned. They are one-of-a-kind, entirely hand-crafted, and are signed on the inside.

Wedding Ring: Hand-carved Silver, White Gold, Diamond and Sapphires

This ring is a commission based off of my signature hand-carved silver ring designs, especially Neptune Rising and Shiva’s Flame. The gems are set in white gold and the ring is hand-carved blackened silver.

weddingring.8.300dpiThe bride-to-be repurposed the gems from her grandmother’s wedding ring. Delicate sapphires and a crystal clear diamond  set in a very modern and organic, earthy band make for an intriguing juxtaposition of style.

One-of-a-kind and very special. Breathtaking!

Reddish copper peaks out from beneath a flash of golden yellow enamel in this hand-hammered anticlastic copper cuff. Very smooth on the inside of the bracelet for a comfortable fit. The copper along the outer surface/exposed curve is left raw, so that as time goes by it will deepen with color, making this an ever-evolving piece.

The cuff is approximately an inch wide, the curve rising about a quarter inch. One-of-a-kind. Signed on the back.
