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.

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.
