Vespa Meteorite Ring
Vespa gets its name from one of the great
minor planets orbiting our sun. The meteorite material
providing the inlay for the ring was one of Vespa's
contemporaries, all having formed about the same time. The ring shown is made from aerospace
grade titanium, and has a classic shape that shows off the
inlay. The top portion is rounded to heighten the inlay;
the sides of the ring are squared off both for a contrasting
shape, and to allow fingers to be closer together when wearing
the ring. It is a very comfortable ring to wear. The meteorite used
is the Gibeon Meteorite, and was discovered in Namibia in
South Africa in 1838. It has a unique crystalline grain
structure called Widmanstatten lines that were caused by the
meteorite slowly cooling over millions of years as it hurtled
through space. It is estimated to be over 4 billion years
old! This is a very classy and comfortable ring.
