Designing Your Custom Mokume Gane Ring
Posted by Susan Freda on
We know choosing the details for your custom ring can be overwhelming, so many choices! So we wanted to put together a checklist of factors to consider when deciding on your ring design.
Ring Dimensions
Ring size (if you aren't 100% sure on your size but have a general idea, we have a ring sizer service! More info here.)
Ring width.
Pattern and Palette
See all of our pattern and palette options here on our guide page!
Stones (if applicable)
You can repurpose stones you already have (depending on suitability and their condition), or we are happy to source stones for you!
For rings we usually recommend certain stones over others, for more info on choosing stones check out this blog post.
Specific likes and/or dislikes
It can be helpful to pick out a few example rings from our listings to show us what you like!
Timelines
Different patterns and designs have different wait times, some rings will require only a 6-8 week timeframe, while others can be booked out 6 months or more.
Please let us know if you have a specific date you would need to have your order delivered by! Each order in our work queue is worked through one by one, so we offer an estimated completion window rather than a firm completion date. To guarantee delivery by a specific date requires a rush order (if we are able to accommodate it in our calendar at the time).
Returns
Our return/restock policy
