Mokume Gane Wedding Ring Prices
With so many possible variations, each ring is designed, and priced, individually, but the following list can serve as a guideline. Obviously, the precious metals market, which fluctuates constantly, is also a factor.

I require a one-third deposit to commit to the order. I want only satisfied clients, so I will do whatever I can to make sure that you become one.
Aside from mokume rings, of which I have made hundreds, pricing custom jewelry is almost harder that making it. It requires estimating the materials (easy) and, the labor (difficult) needed to make something I have never made before. Nevertheless, I have not deviated from an estimate in decades, unless metals prices changed radically during the fulfillment of the commission.
Consultation about your order will cost you nothing, but I charge $100 for detailed designing, whether by hand or by computer. The design fee is non-refundable.
I am only able to accept a limited number of commissions these days. If I can not carry out your piece myself, I know many other highly skilled goldsmiths I can recommend.
