Example is 6mm wide - choose a width to see the price for that width. Prices listed are for one ring, size up to 9.75 - please contact me for a quote for larger sizes. I make every ring to order, so feel free to ask about more ways to make your ring unique. Surface finish: most of my rings are available in either an etched or smooth surface. Time to make: 8 weeks is my usual turnaround time, but I can sometimes accommodate rush orders. I'll do what I can, just ask! I am proud to offer quality craftsmanship and obsessive attention to detail in all my work, but most importantly in my custom wedding rings. Each ring is made 100% by me, by hand, using the traditional metalsmithing tools: file, handsaw, torch, hammer. I am meticulous about creating a unique pattern for each ring, but also filing a 'comfort fit' angle on the inside so your ring will be comfortable to wear 24/7. Mokume gane is an ancient and labor-intensive metalworking technique that involves fusing layers of contrasting metals, then deforming the layers to create unique patterns. I fuse all my own mokume; see my standard metal combinations in the photos. Custom combinations are available for an extra fee. Every pattern is different; most can be categorized as woodgrain, but if you see a particular pattern of mine you like, tell me and I will make your rings as close to that as possible. As on all my gold mokume gane rings, the colors you see are the native colors of the metal - no surface patina has been applied, and no predominantly copper alloys (like shakudo or shibuichi) have been used. This is important in a ring, as it receives heavy wear - surface patinas on rings rarely last, unless the design physically prevents the patina from touching skin. Beware of rings for sale on etsy using copper or brass! They will change color quickly and may physically dissolve and etch away from contact with your skin. The white gold used is nickel-free - it is alloyed with palladium instead. I never use nickel in any of my jewelry, as many are allergic to it and some studies have shown bad health effects from wearing it long-term. The gold I use comes from a socially-responsible supplier that reclaims and refines all their gold in the most green and eco-friendly way possible. No new gold is mined for my rings. Thanks for looking, and please feel free to ask any questions you may have. - Anne
