Hope you will like it too. Nothing to do with engraving though
Mokume gane can be made with most metals though mokume gane tends to use the non ferric ones.
I am sure you have seen better and nicer rings somewhere else, but this is just a simple way to make rings like this and if you don't want to make rings you can make a nice material for bolsters or other things to make you product more special.
Mokume Gane wedding bands with 3 colours gold and silver.
This is going to be a pretty long story. A lot of work to with a lot of steps.
I have to make 2 mokume wedding rings with 18 yellow, 14 red and white gold and silver.
3 Pieces of octagonal 3mm and 50mm long in gold are bought.
These pieces have been milled flat to 5mm wide and 2 thick. After making them fat and oxide free ( by using waterproof sandpaper under the tap) I have bound them together with titanium wire for the first fusion or weld.
The titanium wire is mostly to bind the package together when the borax settles. A screw clamp could be used as well.
When the package is red hot sometimes squeezing with a pincer helps to get the layers together. When all the layers are together and the package is hot enough you can see a glimmer between the layers just as when solder is running. Take your flame away and wait until the glimmers go dull. Then quench in water.
