Hand-chiseled layered-metal keepsakes
Metal layers become tiny landscapes and tree-ring patterns.
Yoko Rover Mokume Gane Art
Yoko Rover creates custom jewelry by forging different metal layers together, then chiseling, twisting and stamping them into woodgrain-like mokume-gane patterns. Her San Diego studio accepts custom-jewelry and wedding-band inquiries, alongside separately bookable small-group metalsmithing sessions.
Current location note / listed area: San Diego, CA
Commissioned layered-metal jewelry is the distinctive specialty; the published beginner ring workshop is ordinary sterling silver, not a promised mokume-gane class. Confirm the proposed wedding-band material/process, design, sizing and lead time directly. Studio lessons have small capacity; no live wedding-service or shipping-based travel coverage inferred.
