Mokume Gane, Japanese Unique Wedding bands and Engagement rings

Customer's chosen design:Koi-kaze

Hello! We’re Mr.E and Ms.S :)

We’re from Singapore and now based in New York, and we met in graduate school in 2016 in California.

We’ve been together for 9 years and it’s special to us that we’ll be getting married on our 10th year “anniversary” in Provence, France.

We love food and sports. While travelling, I proposed in Patagonia,

when we reached the summit of the Laguna de los Tres - a 24km hike with ~3000 feet elevation gain!

We read up about Mokumegane online as we were looking for something unique and with an organic feeling.

Ms.S studied Japanese history and the language; she has an aunt in Chiba,

so Japan has a special place in her heart and we thought it would be unique to get a ring crafted in a place we both love.

We chanced upon the store in Ginza on our last day in Tokyo and made the order 5 hours before our flight back to New York - very ギリギリ！

Fun fact: We thought Mokumegane sounded similar to how the Rings of Power were forged in The Lord of the Rings (we are fans); you are our Celebrimbor!

C.E & S.L

Customer's chosen design:Sakura-gokoro and Mokumegane V-shape

Our story began fifteen years ago on university volleyball court where we quietly wove our first connection.

Back then, volleyball was simply a shared passion,

a place where our two paths briefly crossed before life carried us in different directions.

Years passed, seasons changed, and yet the echo of that court never truly faded.

When fate brought us back together—once again through volleyball—it felt less like coincidence and more like destiny remembering its own plan.

The same game that first introduced us now revealed how time had deepened us,

shaping who we had become and what we are now ready for.

Reconnected by the sport that started it all, what began as a schoolyard spark has grown into something steadier and more meaningful,

proving that love, like a perfectly played rally,

can endure, return, and land exactly where it’s meant to.

Ms.M and I met in August of 2018 in Melbourne Australia,

where I have grown up, and Ms.M was visiting from her home country of Colombia.

We immediately bonded over many shared interests,

one of those being Japanese culture and delicious food, and we also discovered we both watched Japanese cartoons when we were young.

As such, from very early in our relationship, we intended to come and visit Japan together. We had planned to be there in 2020,

however due to the pandemic ,we visited in 2022,

and having myself been to Japan before, I showed Ms.M many beautiful regions and temples and cities.

My family is from Greece, and hers is from Colombia, and we have visited these countries and many others around the world,

but Japan holds a special place in our hearts, and we return here annually.

By pure chance, during our 2022 trip, we happened upon the Mokumeganeya store in Shinjuku,

and were stunned by the beauty and workmanship of the rings.

I had actually met a jeweler in 2016 whilst in Japan before I met Ms.M, and she had told me about Mokumeganeya and their beautiful unique rings,

and I have had the company website saved on my computer since then!

When I saw the rings in person, I knew that one day I had to visit and organize our wedding rings.

As Ms.M loves surprises, I travelled to Japan this month, alone, to organize this as a surprise. The team in Ginza was incredible;

special thank you to Ken-san for his detailed explanations and care.

I deeply admire tradition and expert craftsmanship, and these rings combine these into a creation that has no equal.

It will be an honor for us to wear these rings, which will further deepen the bond we have with your incredible country,

and we will wear them with great pride for the rest of our lives together.

With all my respect,

C.G
