Mokume gane jewelry is formed by carefully layering sheets of different colored precious metals, fusing them into a single billet using heat and pressure, and then manipulating the billet to create wood-grain-like patterns. The process involves stacking the metals, compressing them under pressure, heating the stack until the layers fuse, and then repeatedly carving, forging, and shaping the resulting block, creating a subtle palette of precious metal colors. Due to the labor-intensive nature of fine mokume jewelry, it will remain an uncommon jewelry technique, avoiding association with mass-produced commercial jewelry.
