George Sawyer

George Sawyer is the originator and recognized master of gold mokume gane, or “wood-grain metal”, a Japanese metal folding technique originally made in colored steel. Looking at George’s mesmerizing work is like gazing at clouds – you can see almost anything: water, wood, silk. Each one-of-a-kind set of rings is made of mirror image patterns, as unique as fingerprints. As always, since the company’s beginning in 1972, every piece is designed and handmade in George Sawyer’s Minneapolis studio.
