Item Details
Description
Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Sweden / Finland, ca. 1 million years ago. A beautiful pair of drop earrings made with polished pieces from the Muonionalusta meteorite, which impacted earth about a million years ago. The dangling, triangular prism is cut and polished meteorite, and the upper part is made from watered steel and mounted in a sterling silver setting. This meteorite is renowned for its distinctive Widmanstatten patterns, formed by the slow cooling of the iron and nickel alloys. The first known pieces were collected in 1906, and fragments have become highly sought-after as both raw specimens and jewelry. These earrings were designed and made by jewelers at Sky Gemstone. Size: 2" L x 0.25" W (5.1 cm x 0.6 cm); silver quality: 92.5%; weight: 5.5 grams

Provenance: ex-Taipei, Taiwan collection
