custom FORGED

Mokume Gane is a method of creation that has set Darvier apart since our beginning in 2006. This jewelry is a remarkable evolution from the 17th-century Japanese sword forging technique, which also provides the name, meaning woodgrain metal. Developed during a time of isolation during Japan’s Edo period, it represents pure and unique craftsmanship. The patterns and depth of color that are painstakingly crafted from layers of diffusion-welded precious metals are incredible. Not only is Mokume beautiful, but it also endures. The forged metal acquires a unique patina with wear that our clients love. Moreover, our Mokume is designed to be exquisite and remain comfortable and wearable for a lifetime. Explore below, and contact a designer to begin your Mokume creation.

A 18k yellow gold and palladium woodgrain Mokume wedding set, featuring a Cushion-cut diamond rests on a green, marble surface.

A custom set that was on my business card for some time. One of my absolute favorites! Rich 18k yellow gold and palladium in the burl pattern. Cast with solid 18k yellow gold with a half bezel set cushion cut diamond. You’ll hear me say “you can beat the daylights out of these” all the time because it’s true. It’s one reason why every staff member of Darvier eventually has Mokume made for themselves. So rare. So unique. So durable.
