INTRODUCING- Comet Ison spotted on the 9 Planets Ring!

Meteorite Rings and Meteorite Fine Jewelry- Comet Ison spotted on the 9 Planets Ring!

"Comet Ison spotted on the 9 Planets Ring! The 9 Planets Ring, a beautiful representation of our solar system in a fine piece of jewelry, is now available with Comet Ison. This ring features a complete band of Gibeon Meteorite framed and mounted in an 18k gold band. The meteorite has been etched with nitric acid to reveal the characteristic patterns, or Widmanstatten figures, of iron meteorites, and set with 9 gemstones representing the planets of our Solar System. Mercury is represented by an orange Sapphire, Venus a golden Sapphire, Earth an irradiated blue Diamond, Mars a Ruby, Jupiter an Opal, Saturn a Cats Eye Chrysoberyl with an inlaid 24k gold ring, Uranus a green Sapphire, Neptune a blue Sapphire and Pluto a black Diamond. What really makes this ring most unique is that the band of meteorite spins independent of the gold ring, so when it is on, the planets rotate around the wearer's finger. To celebrate the upcoming apparition of Comet Ison, a small, white diamond with a 24k gold tail can be added to the ring. Add the Moon of inlaid Lunar meteorite and you will have YOUR very OWN special piece of jewelry! "
