Handmade Silver + Copper Mokume Gane Ring with Silver Inlay

**Mokume-gane is a joy to behold. Copper readily oxidizes, gradually deepening in color from a soft rose gold over time. The rate and extent of oxidation will vary depending on individual wear habits and environment.** https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i4/55774502/O1CN01NVDNcv1j7xomExMIu_!!55774502.jpg ▲ Item: Mokume-gane Ring ▲ Materials: Silver + Copper ▲ 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 repeatedly forging and stretching them. The material is then cut, chiseled, twisted, hammered, and rolled to create distinctive patterns on its surface. The name "Mokume-gane" itself originates from this visual effect, reminiscent of wood grain, a bloom forged from cold metal. **The inner band of the ring is crafted from 990 silver, ensuring comfortable and secure wear.** Each piece is handcrafted, and as is characteristic of the style, may bear subtle marks of the making process. Those sensitive to this should consider carefully before purchasing. ▲ Silver Jewelry Care: 1. Handcrafted without plating. Silver jewelry, especially copper, will naturally oxidize when exposed to air and sweat for extended periods. This is a normal chemical reaction, and oxidation can add depth and character to the piece. If oxidation occurs, gently rub the surface of the jewelry with a soft cloth dipped in toothpaste to restore its original color. After polishing, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry. 2. Each order includes a polishing cloth, which can be used to restore the original luster of your silver jewelry. 3. If you do not plan to wear the jewelry for an extended period, please clean it, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a sealed bag. Origin/Manufacturing Method China / Handmade
