Work with Debra Tapian together to create rings as unique as your love!
Welcome! By now you may already know what MOKUME GANE is. That it's an
ancient Japanese technique that was used in the making of samurai
swords. You may have learned that Mokume Gane means wood grain metal.
But what I want to share is what it has become in my shop. Mokume gane
is such a image of marriage. I start with these unique metals that hold
their own characteristics. Each a beauty of it's own. They are then fused
together forever. To get them to fuse takes a lot of care to prep the
metals and to get them perfectly flush, intimate together. Until then
they can not properly bond.
Once together I begin to put the bond to the test by forging and
twisting and hammering on it. Taking care every step of the way, with a
gracious heart for the recipients of these metals. That people find me and
trust me with such a special piece in their lives is so amazing to me! As I
forge, I feel honored.
Then after they have withstood the torture of the process, I split the
billet and build rings. They come out the other side showing every
wave and line of it's journey with beauty so unique and strong.
Customer Service - This purchase is an exciting, big special deal! The
service should be as such! I am always happy to set up a time to chat and hammer through the details, maybe share a few laughs :)
