What is the expected wait time?

Our Original Mokume section can vary as they are made to order. Please allow two weeks to ship. Materials are in stock.

​

Do you carry engagement rings?

​

Madeira Metalworks can certainly work with you to either find or design your perfect ring, but we do not have these listed on the website. It is far too personal! Please contact us for a consult.

​

You carry stones. How is that ethical?:
We focus on old stock, closed or low production mines, found stones, and stones that have been reclaimed. We also pay attention to the business practices of the lapidarist (stone cutter) and where the stones are being sourced, avoiding places that are known for labor issues and not regulated. We know our suppliers. We also believe lab created stones and synthetic stones area also an option that are the same elements of those found in nature. 

 

 

What metal materials are available?

 

 

Mokume Gane can be made with many materials, as long as there are 2+ kinds. We work with Silver (fine, sterling, and argentium), White Gold, Red Gold, Gold, Platinum, Palladium, etc. If there is a mix that you would like and do not see, please reach out. All materials are ethically sourced when possible as Madeira Metalworks founder takes great care to leave a small footprint. All precious metals are absolutely ethically sourced. Please feel free to contact with any questions on materials. ​​

What is the deal with Copper and the Amor Fati products?

 

Copper is very appealing not only due to the look, but it's lower price tag. Many people are aware that it can turn the skin green, but we can put a silver liner on bracelets when requested. A unique problem with Mokume Gane and combining of metals on the skin is that when it is added with a more chemically noble metal like silver, and you add an electrolyte like sweat, it creates a charge that wears down the lesser noble of the materials- essentially slowly eroding. This problem is most common on rings, which is why our store does not carry them. Amor fati!

Mokume Gane Custom Orders

 

Just because the options are not listed on this website does not mean that we can not fulfill the request. Please inquire if you have something special in mind (e.g. silverware). If it is possible, we will provide you a quote. The only thing that is off the table is forging a weapon. Thank you for understanding.

​

Payment and Shipping

 

Payment is required at the time of order. Shipping costs includes insured tracked shipping with a tracking number and signature required on orders of a certain value to anywhere in the continental US. Internation shipping is an option at a higher charge. 

 

Returns ​

 

As the pieces are mostly made to order, we do not accept returns at this time. If desired, we can send pictures along the process to make sure you are pleased with the finished product. If you are unhappy with the product please contact us immediately so we can remedy the situation. For rings purchased from Madeira Metalworks, we will do one free sizing, but shipping both directions will need to be paid.
