Fascination Mokume Gane - Part of you is part of me - Silver and gold ring

In the Mokume Gane technique, different colored metals are alternately layered in order to weld under pressure and heat in the absence of oxygen (diffusion welding). The welded laminated block is usually further processed (e.g. by torsion, drilling, chiselling, filing, rolling) to achieve a decorative pattern. The technology can best be compared to the damask of knife blades. The word Mokume Gane comes from Japanese and means wood grain. There are several ways to create jewelry from Mokume Gane material. For example, rings can be worked seamlessly out of a rod and turned over, or the material can be rolled out thinly and laminated. For the wedding rings in the video, I decided that both rings should not only be made of the same type (star pattern), but also from the same pattern. So a part of one ring is also a part of the other ring: “Without the pattern that you wear as a ring, my pattern could not have come about.“ Both patterns are mutually dependent and thus result in a whole.
