Meteorite Rings

See www.jewelrybyjohan.com for more Meteorite Rings.

I have started to make custom meteorite rings that are inlaid in White or Yellow Gold, Palladium, Silver or Titanium. You have the option to choose meteorite from 4mm to 6mm in width.

On average the cost of a Gold Meteorite ring costs $799, a Titanium Meteorite ring costs $499.

Your meteorite options are Gibeon or Muonionalusta.

Gibeon meteorite info:
Gibeon is a meteorite fallen in prehistoric times in Namibia. It was named after the nearest town: Gibeon (Namibia).

It was discovered by natives (Namaqua) and used to build arrows and other tools.

In 1836^[1] the English captain J. E. Alexander collected some samples in the Great Fish River area and sent them to London. Here John Herschel analyzed them and confirmed for the first time the extraterrestrial nature of the material. The fragments in the strewn field are dispersed over a 275 km long and 100 km wide elliptical-shaped area.

Gibeon meteorites are made of an iron-nickel alloy, but contain also cobalt and phosphorus. The crystal structure of this meteorite is a classic example of fine octahedrite and the Widmanstatten pattern aesthetically appreciated both by collectors and jewel designers.

Muonionalusta meteorite info:
The Muonionalusta meteorite is a rare iron that was originally found in 1906 near Kiruna, Sweden. This beautiful meteorite is classified as a fine (IVA) Octahedrite, and has spectacular etch patterns. Muonionalusta is only rarely found on the meteorite market as the strewn field is within the Arctic Circle, making searching for it very difficult. The total known weight of Muonionalusta is unknown, and until recently, most has been locked up in Museum collections, with very little in private hands.
