Ring with Moldavite Stone

The stone is glass from a meteorite strike. The gold came along much later.

This ring with a moldavite stone is a contemporary piece in 18 karat gold with moldavite and a .06 carat diamond. Moldavite is a natural glass formed by a meteorite impact millions of years ago, and jewelers and collectors seek it out for its pitted, unworldly surface, wearing it as a small piece of cosmic history. The stone sits dark and rough in a smooth crescent bezel. A tiny diamond marks the join. The wide shank is pebbled and raised with looping scrolls.

Few things on a finger have traveled so violently to get there.
