NAMU
 

Namu Cho is the award winning designer of jewelry using the ancient techniques of Damascus Steel and Damascene. He makes new, unique, and beautiful designs from Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Steel. Many selections of rings are designed for Wedding Bands, or Diamond Engagement Rings.

Damascus Steel is a lamination fabrication technique where in metal pieces are fusion welded in layers. The process was first seen in Persia around 500 BC and used to produce welded blades. The laminate composition of a Damascus Steel blade is attained by alternating layers of soft malleable wrought iron and a hardenable and temperable steel with a high carbon content. The steel portion of the blade gives it strength and the ability to hold a fine edge, while the iron provides elasticity so it won't break when struck. The layering of the steel patterns revealed by etching the surface has been refined into a decorative art.
