Mokume Gane - TAG
price is per tag
Mokume gane (mow-koo-may gone-ay) is a laminated metal, made out of non-ferrous (no iron) metal. It is believed to have been first created about 300 years ago in Japan.
Our Mokume tags consist of 3 metals, Copper, Brass and Cupronickel making it the easiest to engrave of all our exotic metal offerings. They come in a polished finish with all machine lines removed. Due to the nature of forging the material the pattern will vary from tag to tag. They are double sided which means that both faces will have an equally beautiful random pattern to them.
ETCHING Instructions: 4:1 ratio of 4 parts HOT water (water heated from coffee maker works well) to 1 part Ferric Chloride. Wear protective gloves and etch outside if possible. It is suggested to neutralize in a mixture of water and baking soda when done.
