Select a Ring You Won’t Find In Every Mall: Meteorite, Damascus & Makume

There is no doubt that choosing the ideal ring can be an overwhelming task. Chances are you’re searching for something unique whatever the occasion or reason for the purchase. Certainly there are many ways to choose a special ring, and why not consider stepping outside the silver, gold, and platinum precious metal options? Mokume Gane Rings are a striking choice that will separate your ring from all of the others out there.

Makume-gane has an amazing, unparalleled history, tracing its roots to 17th century Japanese weaponry. Once used for sword fittings, artisans eventually began creating decorative items as the need for swords waned. Mokume Gane can involve a variety of metals including platinum, gold, silver, titanium bronze and brass. The visual effect is rich and textured and unique. The mesmerizing looks results from metals combining without a complete melting.

For something with an appearance slightly more traditional, you should consider the remarkable look of Damascus Rings. A diffusion bonding of 304L and 316L stainless steel creates a unique look that is absolutely corrosion-resistant. Creating a well-crafted Damascus ring takes time – often several weeks – and is very much a hand made process. For those who want the durability of steel with a more high end look, Damascus rings are an excellent choice.

Another unique metal that can make very unique rings and is quite a surprise to most is meteorite. Meteorite rings are created by artisans forming solid pieces of nickel iron meteorite into rings. It is the high percentage of nickel in the meteoric iron that gives it its special look and quality.

Meteorite rings are a fantastic conversation piece. After all, when asked about the ring, the wearer can describe how it was forged of “iron from above.”r There is something inherently interesting about a precious metal that doesn’t originate on earth.

Shopping for a special piece of jewelry should not add stress to your life.. Selecting one of these styles will ensure your gift will be unique. Look to the special techniques and metals of meteorite, damascus steel and mokume for a ring that will delight and be treasured for years to come.
