My new meteorite ring

[stonecutter1]

I've been working on this ring off and on for almost 2 years now. I finished it a couple months ago. The center section was carved from a thick slice of Gibeon iron with moissanite, rubies and sapphires bezel set throughout all in 14kt gold.

Very nice work. Where did you get the moissanite? I've been wondering what the cost is for the man made material.

I purchased the moissanite through a Stuller Inc. They are one of my vendors. They are located in Lafayette, La. The triangle cut moissanite I bought about 6 years ago. Moissanite is lab created silicon carbide crystal. I haven't priced it recently but I think it is running somewhere around $700-800/ct retail for around a 1ct size. Prices more or less depending on ct. weight and cut. Natural Moissanite was originally discovered in a meteorite long several decades ago. It is pricey for s made made stone but I liked the original meteorite connection.

That's a beautiful ring! I hope it's never found metal detecting at any beach as that would be a sad loss. Beautiful work Stonecutter1!!!

Thank you all for your compliments, ha ha yeah I hope you don't find it metal detecting either. I don't wear that much actually.
