Introduction: The Celestial Allure of Meteorite Rings

In the realm of wedding jewellery, a new star is rising—quite literally. Meteorite wedding rings have captured the hearts of couples seeking a truly unique symbol of their love. These extraordinary bands offer more than just aesthetic appeal; they carry with them a piece of the cosmos, billions of years in the making. At Forge & Lumber, we've harnessed this celestial beauty to create wedding rings that are truly out of this world.

As we explore the fascinating history of meteorite use in jewellery, we'll introduce you to our stellar collection of meteorite wedding rings that promise to elevate your love story to cosmic proportions.

A Brief History of Meteorites in Jewellery

The use of meteorites in jewellery is not a modern phenomenon. Ancient Egyptians referred to iron from meteorites as "metal from heaven," and artefacts dating back to 3200 BCE have been found to contain meteoritic iron. However, it wasn't until the late 20th century that meteorite began to be widely used in wedding rings.

The most common type of meteorite used in modern jewellery is the Gibeon meteorite, which fell in Namibia thousands of years ago. Its distinctive Widmanstätten pattern—a complex interlocking of iron-nickel alloys—makes each piece unique and visually stunning.

Did you know? The Widmanstätten pattern in meteorites can only form over millions of years of slow cooling in space, making each meteorite ring a true piece of cosmic history.

  • Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is likely to be at its largest size.
  • Avoid measuring when you're cold, as fingers can be smaller.
  • If your knuckle is significantly larger than the base of your finger, measure both and select a size in between to ensure the ring will fit.
