Mokume Gane Bands

Mokume Gane (pronounced Moe-koo-may Gah-nay) is an ancient Japanese metalworking technique, developed in feudal Japan by master swordsmiths. The name translates as "woodgrain metal," referring to one of the most popular patterns created to adorn samurai swords. It followed the development of Damascus Steel (layered iron alloys), created hundreds of years earlier. Through the Mokume Gane technique, layers of contrasting colored metals are fusion welded, using very high heat and pressure, into one solid block or billet of metal. The billet is then further manipulated by forging, twisting, and carving to expose multiple layers, in order to develop more and more complex patterns. Traditionally, the Mokume Gane technique utilized copper, silver, and gold alloys.
