Mokumé Gane is an old Japanese technique for creating patterned and coloured finishes. The Japanese words literally translate as 'eye of the wood grain metal'. Modern jewelers and silversmiths have adopted and modified this traditional technique to produce stunning finishes for their work - the results of which have received world wide acclaim.
In this practical handbook, lan Ferguson looks at the history of the technique, discusses the materials, equipment and technical information needed for the process, and gives an entirely new slant on the manufacturing techniques. He discusses the great challenge involved in using the process and celebrates the fact that each piece of work is unique, a new experiment, a new adventure.
