[meteorite-list] meteorite rings manufactoring
Hello all, I want to manufacture a meteorite ring from an iron meteorite. I have found that Gibeon is prefered because of its stability. I have etched some slices of it and noticed that it also suffers from rusting. Does the meteorite ring found on the market have a special coating for protection?

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Rings
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..

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..

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite rings - Nickel Content
Hi, I used to wear a solid Gibeon ring. I had no allergic reaction but the skin near the ring turned brown. When it came time for me to get a wedding ring I got Gibeon lined with gold. I have had no problems with it. However the etched surface has been obliterated, I guess that I am rough on my jewelry.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite rings - Nickel Content
Richard, Look here for rings with meteorites. http://www.jewelrydesignsformen.com/meta.html This guy is a true artist. We got our wedding rings from him, handmade by order. The nickel/meteorite will never touch your skin since they are mostly on top of the rings. Have fun viewing. Best, Jan IMCA 9833 - Original Message - From: "Richard Kowalski" To: "meteorite list" Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2010 6:39 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite rings - Nickel Content My fiance' recently (and with no encouragement by me) came across rings made of meteoritic iron and asked me if I would be interested in such a ring for my wedding band. She had never seen them before and I of course hadn't even considered bringing the idea up, but since she thinks its a great idea for my ring, who am I to object? My concern is the possibility of my developing a nickel allergy. AFAIK, I'm not allergic to the metal, but she certainly is. My preference would be to have my ring made of a solid billet of the Iron used, but of course one that has in inlay of the Iron might be a better choice to limit exposure. It appears that the most commonly available rings are made using Gibeon & Seymchan and some use Tambo Quemado. I'm just curious which of these three have the lowest Nickel content?

Hi Richard and List, Gibeon = 7.68% Ni, 1.97 ppm. Ga, 0.111 ppm. Ge, 2.4 ppm. Ir Seymchan = 9.47 % Ni, 9.15 % Ni, 24.6 ppm. Ga, 68.3 ppm. Ge, 0.55 ppm. Ir Tambo Quemado = 8.70 % Ni, 10.2 % Ni*, 17.9 ppm. Ga, 31.5 ppm. Ge, 0.039 ppm.

My fiance' recently (and with no encouragement by me) came across rings made of meteoritic iron and asked me if I would be interested in such a ring for my wedding band. She had never seen them before and I of course hadn't even considered bringing the idea up, but since she thinks its a great idea for my ring, who am I to object? My concern is the possibility of my developing a nickel allergy. AFAIK, I'm not allergic to the metal, but she certainly is. My preference would be to have my ring made of a solid billet of the Iron used, but of course one that has in inlay of the Iron might be a better choice to limit exposure.
