This is a picture of my wedding ring (or maybe Anthony's, I'm not really sure, since they are identical except for the size.) They were handmade for us by our friend, Geoff Sullivan, in the mokume-gane style. I am not going to attempt to fully explain mokume here, but I will direct you to the Wikipedia page instead, as I am not equipped to give a metalworking dissertation.
I LOVE my wedding ring. A big part of that is that it is a ring that no one outside Anthony and myself will ever have. We bought the white gold and silver layered billet for Geoff to work with, but the twists and turns Geoff put in to make the pattern will never be copied exactly. If you stack our rings and line them up right, you can see how they belong together. Which is a piece of symbolism that just can't be beat.
