Some have also added lunar material to meteorite rings....I have seen =
NWA
482 used as a "centerpiece" to a meteoritic ring advertised as a wedding
ring.

All the best,

Hi Jay and List,

Meteorite jewelry is no absolutely new idea. You can buy meteorite =
pendants,
watches with meteorite dials, meteorite medallions, rings with meteorite
inlay,
etc., etc.

Bob Haag's 1997 Meteorite Catalog has a watch with an etched Toluca face
on page 8. On the same page, there is on of his meteorite medallions =
(also
to
be seen on p. 6 of his newest Catalog). Bob writes:

"This was a unique production to melt iron meteorite and cast it into =
these
one
of a kind coins. Canyon Diablo iron were melted down at over 3,400 =
degrees
and poured into molds to produce this space medal."

Bob's 1989 Catalog shows several examples of space jewelry: earring =
sets,
pendants, rings, etc.

Gibeon irons are commonly used as they are (or : were !) relatively
inexpensive
and stable.

On Bob's website, you also find a gorgeous, faceted Esquel pallasite =
peridot
gem from his collection.

Moldavites are also used for meteorite jewelry.

Best wishes,

Bernd
