Meteorite Rings
Today for Thanksgiving, I wanted to show you a really interesting and unique find from the online marketplace, Etsy. It's a 10K yellow gold ring, available for both men and women, and features a Gibeon meteorite. It was designed by Etsy seller, Ralph Schroetter who runs the yourpersonaljeweller shop.
Ralph has been in the jewelery trade for over 25 years as a designer. He is a both a goldsmith and graduate gemologist and has primarily specialized in high-end jewelery designs featuring diamonds and sapphires.
According to Ralph, the Gibeon Meteorite is classified as a fine octahedrite (IVA) iron meteorite. When polished and etched it shows the characteristic cross-hatching of the Widmanstatten Pattern. The meteorite is said to have healing powers for balance and alignment, a connection to extraterrestrial life, and an unusual energy. And been dated as much as 4 billion years old!
I think the His and Hers rings are really unique pieces and would like to thank Ralph for letting me show his jewelry with you today. If you'd like to learn more about Ralph and the jewelry he creates, visit him at: yourpersonaljeweller.etsy.com or www.yourpersonaljeweller.ca
Happy Thanksgiving!
