Mokumegane ~The Japanese traditional technique~

June 25, 2021 11:00 AM

Hello! It’s from the Japan team of Mokumeganeya!

It’s been raining, but how are you doing?

 

Today, I am going to talk about “Mokumeganeya ring”.

 

We make rings using Japanese traditional techniques!

 

The technique of [Mokume-gane] was introduced in the Edo period more than 400 years ago.

 

It is said that a craftsman who makes sword guards called Shoami Denbei in Akita Prefecture came up with this idea.

This kind of wood grain pattern is created by interweaving multiple pieces of metal with different colors.

 

The appearance of the pattern changes depending on the temperature, humidity, and craftsman of the day, so it will be the only pattern in the world where the same pattern will never be born again.

 

210212Japanese traditional technique_P002.jpg

It’s very attractive even in the state of a board.

 

We make a ring by rolling the wood grain board made in this way.

 

You can make your engagement ring, wedding rings, pendants, and so on from the same board.

 

It will truly be a one-of-a-kind ring for you in the world.

Only at Mokumeganeya you can make a ring that gives you a sense of history and Japanese, as well as a bond between two of you.

 

Please contact us and get more information :)

Layering an engagement ring over a wedding ring

June 11, 2021 11:00 AM

Hello! It’s from the Japan team of Mokumeganeya!

It feels like the summer has been coming up soon! I hope you enjoy the sunny weather these days.
 
Today, I would like to write about layering an engagement ring and a wedding ring.
 
Some people say that they don’t have a chance to wear their engagement rings after they get married even though their husbands gave them at the time of engagement. 
 
However, we, Mokumeganeya, have the designs of engagement ring that are easy to layer over wedding rings after getting married.
 
210219Set_ring_Mokume-Tsumugi_P001.jpg
 
“Mokume-Tsumugi” ring in the picture above has a smooth V-shaped line that fits your finger perfectly.
 
So, even if you wear this ring with your wedding ring and the width gets thicker, your finger still looks slender.
 
 
210219Set_ring_Sakura-Awase_P002.jpg
The straight rings in the picture above are “Sakura-Awase” rings.
 
The ring in the photo is quite gorgeous because it has a lot of jewels on the wedding ring, but it is blended well to skin because of the soft wood grain pattern, and it is unique to the Mokumegane ring does not give too much “wearing” feeling.
 
210219Set_ring_Koi-Sakura_P003.jpg
 
A slender ring like the picture above can change the look of the ring just by wearing the engagement ring and the wedding ring together.
 
This is a design called “Koi-Sakura” that has been popular in Mokumeganeya for many years.
 
The wedding ring itself has a slender impression, but when you wear it with the engagement ring, they look gorgeous!
 
So, you can enjoy wearing it alone or layering it with the engagement ring according to your mood and fashion of the day.
 
 
Since engagement rings have large diamonds, it may be difficult for some people wear them during work, but there are many opportunities to wear it at events, such as wedding parties of your friends and relatives, entrance ceremonies, and graduation ceremonies.
 
 
If you have any concerns about whether you should have an engagement ring or not, please feel free to contact us!

Hello! It’s from the Japan team of Mokumeganeya!

I hope you are all well.
 
Today, I am introducing “Tsuki-Sakura” engagement ring, one of the most popular designs in our engagement ring collection.

210514Tsuki-Sakura_engagement_ring_P001.jpg
 
This ring is designed to fit the ring finger on your left hand perfectly, and it makes your finger look beautiful.
 
The color of the ring in the photo above is platinum and silver!
 
By adding platinum, it increases transparency and the diamond looks even brighter.
 
Also, another characteristic of Tsuki-Sakura engagement ring is to have a wide variety of side stone arrangements.
 
You can have one stone as shown in the picture above, or you can choose two stones!
 
210514Tsuki-Sakura_engagement_ring_P002.jpg
It’s so nice to set your and your partner's birthstones on each side.
 
Does it feel like you are protected when you have your partner’s birthstone on your ring?
 
210514Tsuki-Sakura_engagement_ring_P003.jpg

Customize Sakura-Ichirin engagement ring

February 17, 2021 11:00 AM
 
こんにちは!This is Yoko from Mokumeganeya.
How are you doing?
The pollen season is approaching in Japan.
As a hay fever sufferer, this season is a bit difficult for me, 
But!!  At last, the season of blooming cherry blossoms is upon us!
I sincerely hope that the time will come soon when everyone in the world will be able to enjoy お花見”Ohanami”(cherry blossom viewing) in Japan without worry....
 
I believe you are considering which rings are the best for your special jewelry, comparing with other brands and stores.
The engagement ring is once in lifetime jewelry, so we would like to do our best to assist you in choosing a design.
 
Our Mokumegane rings are all custom made, so you can customize on ring design, such as the ring color,  the ring width, how many side stones to have, what gemstones to set, and engravings.   
 
For example, the center Diamond setting.
Just by changing the way the center diamond setting, the impression of the Sakura-Ichirin design changes dramatically. (Other rings can be customized depending on the design!)
Wouldn't it be nice to have an engagement ring, a symbol of you and your partner's love, with a one-of-a-kind wood grain pattern and a custom ring of your choice?
Which of these three designs do you like the best?

Customizing your ring -Beni-Hotosuji-

February 15, 2021 5:00 PM

Hello! from the Japan team of Mokumeganeya!

It's rainy today.... 

In Japan, during this season, it is said that after a rainy day, it will get warmer.

In other words, one rainy day brings a warmer day, which leads to spring closer!

I am dreaming about the Sakura blooming season come soon...

 

Today, I would like to introduce our special color combination, "Beni-Hitosuji"!

 "Beni-Hitosuji" means "A line of red" in Japanese;  which represents your "red thread of fate."
 
 
We have 2 options for the "Beni-Hitosuji" color combination!
 
WGxPG(1)xSV and PTxPG(1)xSV!
 
Please have a look at the pictures below.
 
 
WGxPG(1)xSV
WGxPG(1)xSV.png
As white gold is a warm gray color, the Mokume pattern will be earthy color and have a warm impression!
 
 
 
PTxPG(1)xSV
PTxPG(1)XSV.png
The other "Beni-Hitosuji" is " PTxPG(1 line)xSV," Using Platinum instead of White gold!
 
Can you see the color difference? 
Platinum has a slightly bluish-gray tone, while White gold has a warm gray tone.
As you can see, the inner ring color and the gemstone setting on the trace mark are also arrangeable!
 
 
 
Wider Ring Width
Wider width.png
In wider width, you can enjoy the beautiful Mokume Gane pattern very clearly!
 
Ring width can be selected from 2.0 mm in 0.5 mm increments.
*The total width of 2 rings has to be within 9mm, to make them in the "Tsunagaru-Katachi process", making rings shared from 1 single ring!
 
 
Also, your rings can be in a different design, while in the Beni-Hitosuji color combination!
This is because our craftsman will shape your ring after your rings are shared by two of you.
 
 
If you choose "Flat Straight (wave or V shape also available) "and "Koi-Kaze", your ring can have a trace mark!
 
Flat straight and Koi-Kaze
Wavy shape.png
 
 
Flat V shape
Vshape.png
 
 
Although the trace mark cannot be left,
you can choose any other design, such as Koi-Sakura, which has a rounded ring arm.
In a rounded ring arm, you can enjoy a gentle Mokume Gane pattern!

Rounded arm.png
 
Tsuki-Sakura

How was our Beni-Hitosuji collection??
In the same color combination, you can choose a variety of designs!
Isn't it interesteing that the impression of the ring changes so much depending on the shape.
 
Mokumeganeya rings are the rings that you can choose your own design from a variety of choices!!
Please feel free to contact us what you are interested in
or make an appointment with us! We would love to show you our rings!
