Martin Steinhorst steel damask ring open model

This special ring was made by Martin Steinhorst from Germany. The ring is 7 mm wide and made according to the damask technique; an old-fashioned technique with which the swords from Japan are also made. The steel is forged (hammered) together and then a layer of partoon with a stained appearance is created. The ring is gold-plated on the inside, so that the skin does not come into contact with the steel.
