Our interlocking fox and bunny rabbit necklaces have been hand cut across stipes of copper and white copper. This metal is called mokume-gane.
Mokume-gane is a type of Japanese mixed-metal consisting of swirls of different metals layered in patterns as you can see in the picture. This material is unique because it gives the appearance of natural wood grain. When several layers of differently colored metals form a sandwich of alloys it's called a "billet." The billet is then manipulated in such a way that a pattern resembling wood grain emerges over its surface. Since there are numerous ways of working the mokume gane patterns, every "wood-grain-like" structure will look slightly different from the picture! We then cut this interlocking jewelry out by hand as all of our other work is done.
This fox and bunny rabbit necklace is around the same size as a quarter. You may choose your own chain sizes above. If there is a design that you favor on our store and would like to see it on mokume gane instead, please message us so we can see your design come to life! Be sure to share this new design of ours with your friends and family!
