Customization options available! All Arn Krebs Mokume Gane Rings are CUSTOM and made-to-order. Rings are available in any size, width, profile, pattern, metal combination and finish. All rings are made individually from start to finish, so each one is completely unique and will vary slightly from what is pictured. Variations in color and patterning are natural features of Mokume Gane and photos shown are for illustration purposes only.
A new installment of our video series is up on our YouTube channel! In this episode of making a mokume wedding ring, follow Arn through the process of continuing to form and shape the stock into a ring. Forging, pressing, annealing, and making preparations for the stone that will be set later!

We know that designing your ring can feel daunting with so many options to choose from so we have put together this guide to explain the options.
Ordering Online~ Please see our design guide to choose your rings size, width, pattern, palette, and any stones or add ons that you might like. From there reach out to us and we can build you a quote, discuss timeline, and send an invoice for 50% deposit to get your order into our work queue.
Seeing Rings in Person~We make every piece to order so we don’t have a large collection of rings on hand, once the ring has been made and photographed its off to its new owner! We do have an intimate collection of already made rings that are ready to size and ship. These samples may not necessarily be the pattern, size or width that you are interested in but you’ll be able to see what metal colors look like in person and get a feel for Arn’s craftsmanship. You can choose which ring(s) you would like to see from our available now section which is the inventory we currently have in stock. You can find a link to our available rings here. If you would like to see any of these rings in person please know that our showroom operates on limited hours and is by appointment only.

Flow is one of Arn’s specialty forged patterns! This is one of his most complicated patterns, so he wanted to document some of the process to show you how he brings it to life. Come along on the journey from stock to ring!
Some assembly steps, those little rods will be the knots, and the flat stock will be the linear part of the mokume pattern running around the ring!
Here Arn is torch firing the stack to fuse everything together:
And then it’s over to the press to compress the stack, check out that satisfying squash!
Here’s what the stock for the ring looks like reduced down:
And Arn continues to shape the stock into the dimensions for a ring:
Here he is etching the silver:
And oxidizing the silver:
And the final reveal!
Arn just completed this beautiful tension set style ring! We love tension settings, they create such a fantastical illusion of the stone floating. Arn documented his process in creating this design, from stock billet to forming and patterning, to setting the stone and finishing the ring.
This ring also features one of Arn’s signature patterns, Guri Bori, inspired by the natural landforms and topography of the western US. The added thickness needed for this style of setting really helps to create that mountainous look!
