Mokume Gane Pendant

Mokume Gane Pendant. Pendant is made from a Mokume Gane sheet consisting of Silver and Copper. It has an 18k Gold accent square that has been stamped with a Japanese element symbol for “wood”.  The Japanese words “Mokume Gane” mean “wood grain metal”. The metalsmiths who originally developed the technique were trying to make the metal look like wood grain. The technique involves taking sheets of different colored metals, stacking them up, and fusing them together. The resulting striped block, called a billet, is then manipulated and sliced to reveal wonderful patterns. Each slice in our Mokume Gane has a unique pattern. The slightly curved pendant has a silver bar across the top and an oval bail through which the pendant slides on a 1.9mm thick, 18” long, Sterling silver snake chain.

Pendant measures approximately 1-15/16” (49mm) overall height, including bail,  and 7/8” (22mm) wide.
