Timoku – A New and Symbolic Style in Couple’s Rings
There is a new style in men’s and women’s rings that is gaining popularity for many reasons. This new style is called Timoku. The name is derived from the atomic symbol for Titanium which is TI, combined with the ancient Japanese technique of metalworking for ancient Japanese armor known as Mokume Gane. These were beautiful and unique designs that were mostly made for the handles of Japanese swords. These designs and patterns often were representations of wealth and status for the owner of the sword such as the Samurais.
These beautiful, unique, and intricate designs were made by layering several thin sheets of metal that were placed under high temperatures and pressure which caused the layers of metal to fuse to each other instead of melting. This same technique was picked up by the famous jewelry designer company Edward Mirell, but instead of using just any metal they used different colors of titanium to form the beautiful patterns in their exquisite lineup of Mokume Gane rings or Timoku rings.
The bands and patterns of these rings look very similar to the banding or the ring patterns that are formed by a tree. Just as the patterns and designs that the Japanese would form and make for their armor as representations and symbols, so do these patterns can be very symbolic especially for a couple who will wear the rings as wedding rings. Not only are there rings made in the Timoku design but neckace pendants are also made for ladie’s necklaces by Edward Mirell.
The prices of these rings range from 399.00 to 699.00 depending on where you shop. If you are looking to purchase a Timoku ring online, the the best place to shop would be Titanium-Jewelry.com.
