And ... forgot to say - treat it like you would an opal or emerald, i.e
keep it dry don't clean it in an ultrasonic bath..

One thing also to bear in mind with Iron meteorites, is as they contain
Nickel, this can irritate some peoples skin.. just bear in mind that's
all.

Hi Jose,

If it's any help, for my other half a few years ago, I had a crescent
moon pendant made of out 18k Gold, complete with texture and craters on
the surface, one of which has a piece of DAG 400 (Lunar meteorite) set
into it, there was also a diamond in a separate crater on the tip of the
crescent (which gives a glint like the sun appearing behind the moon).

Looks really good, and she is very pleased with it. We have had no
problems with the DAG 400, they set it in the 'crater' on the pendant
both with jewellery adhesive and by burring over the gold (to make a
mechanical hold too).

You should have no trouble if the rock is well set into the gold, but I
would advise them to make sure it is held in physically rather than just
relying on adhesive/glue.

Martian Shergottites should easily be robust enough, as long as it is
not too big..


Best Regards,
Mark

Does anyone know how stable will be to have a wedding ring made out of
martian meteorite (Los Angeles) and white gold? Or does anyone ever try
to made a ring with a non-iron meteorite?
