Pick out your metal, ring width and size, and see other examples of this design.

April: Black & White Mokume Wedding Bands

We unveiled a new mokume, called Black & White. This combination of platinum and darkened (oxidized) sterling creates a high contrast look. Palladium or platinum liners are often picked for this wood-grain metal, but we will make it in whatever metal you order!

March: Delicate Stacking Ring with a Raw Diamond

This engagement ring is special for two reasons. First, it has a raw diamond. We've made several engagement rings with these rose-cut, natural, colored diamonds. While still a diamond engagement ring, these diamond crystals show off an alternative style.

Second reason this ring is different: it was partially made by the client! With help from our CAD modeler, he computer-modeled the design to fit the raw diamond and his fiancee's hand. Then after we grew the wax and got the casting, he came back to finish the ring with our goldsmith's assitance.

February: Elizabethan Pave Engagement Ring in Rose Gold

We've definitely seen rose gold enjoying a resurgence in popularity. When combined with pink sapphire and diamond pave, the result is very pretty like in this vintage-inspired ring! This 14k rose gold engagement ring has a large sapphire cushion in a sparkly halo.

The 22 karat yellow gold, 14 karat white gold (gray) and sterling wood-grain metal has a higher karatage of yellow gold than our previous Summer. The mokume warmly glows with the yellow gold setting and fancy color diamond accents.

March: Gustav Klimt Inspired Wedding Rings

This custom wedding band set was inspired by the Gustav Klimt painting, "The Kiss." In the video, Lisa talks about making these rings, which began when the client mentioned that this was her favorite work of art. Lisa then sketched her interpretation of the painting, which our customer loved.

August: Custom Organic Bubble Bridal Set

Lisa designed this ring after listening to the client's desire for organic textures and seeing images on her Pinterest boards. The engagement ring part of this bridal set has bubble-like bezels that are scattered about the top. The palm-side of the ring is carved with a wood-grain pattern. The matching band has flush-set diamonds in the wood-grain.

July: Juicy Goddess Engagement Ring

Blinded by this blingy masterpiece? We were! This is the second Juicy Goddess we've made, and like all our rings, each one is a little different.

Just how much diamonds does this have? A 1.1 ct round diamond in the center, 0.7 ctw half moon side diamonds, plus 0.9 ctw paved diamonds! Six blue sapphires and Champagne mokume gane add a little color.

June: Ocean-Themed Wedding Set

These rings make us wish we had a beach in Tucson! The couple wanted symbols of the ocean on their wedding bands, so Lisa sketched out some new designs. The two bands are slightly different, but both feature a palm tree, waves and clouds. The three little diamonds in the recessed sky represent a constellation. What a one-of-a-kind pair of rings!

May: Ancient Roman Style Bronzed Ring

This ring is a blast from the past! It is inspired by Ancient Roman artifacts. This band may actually look like an archaeological find, but achieved its "wear" in a lot less than two thousand years! To achieve the bronzed patina look, our jeweler plated it with rose gold.

Wondering what the black stones are? While not sparkly, they are actually diamonds!

This is a dramatic wedding set! This is the second Mokume Bat Ring we have made, so we were excited! The clients were creative and ordered the Mokume Compass Band to match.

March: Catalina Mountain Rings

These rings were fun to make! Some local clients wanted matching rings depicting the Catalina Mountains. (This is the mountain range that overlooks our studio in Tucson.)
