Mokume Gane shops Stripe Tie Tack Pin

Simple and unique, this tie tack (or brooch) is the perfect addition to any dress outfit! A single bar of Chinook pattern mokume gane on a 1 inch sterling silver disc, this piece makes a statement where every you take it! Pair with the cuff links for the complete look! Mokume Gane is a historical technique from Japan based in folding steel and developed after swords were outlawed in the Meiji Era. Smiths denied their usual craft turned it into shops an artistic endeavor that could be applied in many different ways. I love using this incredible laminate not only for the beauty of the metal itself but also how it ages, the copper going from bright pink to an almost black patina, the pattern standing out more and more. And if it ever reaches a level of antiquing you don't like I polish for free for the life of ALL my pieces and will get it looking bright and new as the day you bought it!
