Mokume Gane Jewellery


 In May of this year I was fortunate to visit Japan to attend a workshop to learn new Mokume Gane.  Mokume Gane is an ancient Japanese technique of combining metals to achieve a wood grain effect.  Traditionally it was use to decorate the hilt of a Samurai sword.  These days it is a very popular technique used in jewellery.  These earrings are made using fine silver and copper with a freshwater pearl.
