Mokume rings, just like gold or silver jewelry, develop fine scratches with wear that will build up over time to create a beautiful patina. The more the item is worn, the quicker the natural patina will develop, which will bring out the natural beauty of the Mokume Gane. If at any point you would like to refresh the surface you can gently rub your ring with a Scotch-Brite pad. Keep in mind that doing so will remove a fine layer of metal, so this isn’t to be done on a regular basis.
If you would like to darken or freshen up your oxidation, you can do so at home with Liver of Sulfur, we recommend purchasing some in gel form for ease of application. Apply a small amount of the gel and rub it in all over the ring’s surface. Let sit for a few seconds and then wipe off the excess. Note that any form of chlorine will also darken your oxidation, so a dip in the pool would also have the same effect!
Our standard lead time to make and ship a ring is 6-8 weeks from deposit but this timeline can vary depending on the nature of your piece and current workload.
Rings are then shipped using USPS priority with insurance, which requires a signature upon delivery. If you need your ring sooner you may upgrade to our rush delivery service which will get your ring completed and shipped before our typical 8 week time frame. If your ring comes with an engraving, please plan accordingly.
We are not able to guarantee specific delivery dates without a rush fee.
