Handmade Silver + Copper Mokume Gane Ring

**Mokume gane is a delight to behold. Copper naturally oxidizes over time, gradually deepening from a soft rose gold hue. The rate and extent of this oxidation will vary depending on individual wear habits and environmental factors.** https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i4/55774502/O1CN01NVDNcv1j7xomExMIu_!!55774502.jpg ▲ Item: Mokume Gane Ring ▲ Materials: Silver + Copper ▲ Specifications: **Band width approximately 5mm, closed ring. The pattern and size differ across the three available pieces. There are visible soldering marks; please consider this before purchasing.** ▲ Accessories: Polishing cloth, jewelry box ▲ Product Description: Mokume gane is a unique metalworking technique that involves layering metals of different colors, fusing them at high temperatures, and then subjecting them to repeated forging, stretching, cutting, chiseling, twisting, hammering, and rolling processes to create distinct patterns on the surface. The name "Mokume gane" itself is derived from this visual effect, which resembles wood grain – a bloom forged from cool metal. **The inner band of the ring is crafted from 990 silver, ensuring comfortable and secure wear.** As each piece is handmade, and in keeping with its artisanal style, there will be subtle signs of craftsmanship. Please take this into consideration before purchasing. ▲ Silver Jewelry Care: 1. This piece is handmade and not electroplated. Silver jewelry, especially copper, will naturally oxidize upon prolonged contact with air and sweat. This is a normal chemical reaction that adds depth and character to the piece over time, enhancing its stylistic appeal. If oxidation occurs, you can gently polish the surface of the jewelry with a soft cloth and a small amount of toothpaste to restore its original color. After polishing, please rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely. 2. A silver polishing cloth is included with each order and can be used to restore the original luster of your silver jewelry. 3. If you plan to store the jewelry for an extended period, please ensure it is cleaned, dried, and kept in a sealed bag. 4. For silver pieces featuring an intentionally aged or oxidized finish, using toothpaste or a polishing cloth may restore them to their original silver color. Please use these care methods judiciously.
