General Pricing Guidelines

In general, the price of Mokume Gane and Damascus Stainless Steel rings is determined by the cost of the materials used, as well as, by the amount of time it takes to make the ring.

Materials pricing is dependent on several factors including type and amount of precious metal alloys used, ring size, overall ring width, as well as the inclusion of optional ring elements such as liners, edges, and channels. The inclusion of precious gemstones also will add to the cost of the ring.

Andrew Nyce Designs offers ring elements in a variety of precious metal alloys. Channels will use more precious metal alloy compared to liners, which, in turn, will use more than edges. Consequently, depending upon which precious metal alloys you select, the optional ring elements may significantly affect the final cost of your ring.
