Finally got pictures of my Meteorite ring

[sparxs111]

Well everyone. I finally have the pics to post of my Chris Ploof meteorite ring. I know there aren''t any diamonds, but man I think its great. It is white gold, with gibeon meteorite in the centre. You can really see the crystalline structure of th metal in these pics because they are so magnified, but in person it looks like frost on a window. It is also more of a silver than the yellow in the pics.

HAHA part gypsy that cracked me up..
it''s an AWESOME magical ring from outerspace.. and OF COURSE you have special powers when you wear it, right sparxs111?!?!

I really do love the idea of it.. i think my guy would be really interested in a ring like this. I checked out this Chris Ploof guy''s website and he looks like he has some wonderfully unique things! I wouldn''t expect you to tell me the cost.. but are they reasonably priced?

 

[marcy]

Very cool. My husband would LOVE it.

 

[Kelli]

That is sooooooo cool! I''ve always been a space geek and would LOVE to have a meteorite ring!

 

[Venice]

You have quite a conversation starter there - I like it!

 

[MMT]

Very cool!

 

[beechezz]

I love the uniqueness of it! Totally awesome!

Thanks everyone for the great comments. It is one of the most interesting guys rings I could find for myself. i started off looking for a Mokume Game ring which is incredible in itself (folded metal) and found this. As to answer your question Namaste, it was a little expensive for a mans ring...$1300, but for a 6mm white gold and meteorite ring, I feel I got a deal. I believe the 5mm were $1200. And wow is it ever hefty - a lot of gold and meteorite! I would highly recommend this or other of Chris Ploofs designs to anyone. He was great to work with, the product is INCREDIBLE, and its not the first time Ive been asked if it gives super powers!!! hehe. Well again thanks for all the comments guys!

 

[Miranda]

No way! A Meteorite!? I love it!

 

[March-8-2008]

WOW - that is seriously gorgeous.

I totally would have considered that for my husband''s ring had I known about it last year.

Wow. Just... WOW.

 

[T L]

Wow, that is so cool. I''m an avid astronomy nut, so I think that''s fascinating and beautiful at the same time. I would love a meteorite watch face. Very unique, I LOVE it!!

 

[Beaglemom]

Now that is a seriously cool ring !!!!

 

[jenniebean]

that it SO neat! for some reason it brings monkume gane rings to mind...so unique!

 

[Amanda.Rx]

That''s a good-lookin'' ring!

 

[sparxs111]

Tourmaline lover - during my search I found some meteorite watches out there with the faces made of gibeon. some are a little pricey though...
