Mokume Gane & Anticlastic Twist Earrings


Fashion Newsweek had an interesting article about Stephen LeBlanc Art Jewelry and some of the work he has done using the old Japanese art of Mokume Gane. He forges Gold and Palladium together to create a very interesting wood grain metal.
Stephen LeBlanc is a Metal Smith who is now making art jewelry and I am glad that he has made the transition. His work is stunning and the industry is starting to take notice. As Palladium becomes more focused in the jewelry world, we should see more innovations in it use. The Mokume Gane look is the tip of the artistic iceberg in Luxury Palladium use.
Check out the new look of the Palladium Alliance International website for more stunning developments in Palladium jewelry.
