This distinctive Damascus ring features a dramatic Gibeon meteorite inlay. This ring pairs the exotic designs in Damascus steel with the unique Widmanstätten patterns in genuine meteorite.
Gibeon meteorite is known for its incomparable stability and beauty. It is amazing to think that this meteorite entered our atmosphere at a velocity of 17 miles per second around 30,000 years ago. It exploded high in the atmosphere, showering fragments over a large region in Africa. Prior to that, the meteorite traveled through space for over 4 billion years.
The undulating design in Damascus steel resembles flowing water. Today Damascus steel is typically made from a blend of steel and iron that is welded together to create a material that is prized for its unusual patterns. The damascus stainless steel that is used in our jewelry is 100% corrosion-resistant, and does NOT require special handling or treatment.

Behind the Piece
This piece is cut and set entirely by hand by Johan in Minneapolis, USA. The Gibeon meteorite inlay is etched with acid to reveal its unique Widmanstätten crystal pattern — a formation that took millions of years at approximately 1°C per million years of cooling.
No two rings will ever share the same pattern. Yours is singular, permanent, and genuinely cosmic.
Avoid Prolonged Moisture
Brief water exposure (hand-washing, light rain) is fine. Remove before swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools.
No Harsh Chemicals
Keep away from cleaning products, bleach, solvents, and acids. Remove your ring before household cleaning.
Monthly Cleaning
Rinse under cool water, dry immediately with a soft cloth. Apply a drop of mineral oil or Renaissance Wax monthly.
Re-Etching Available
Over years of wear, the Widmanstätten pattern may soften. Send it back to Johan for a fresh acid etch to restore its full drama.
Storage
Store in a dry environment. A silica gel packet in your jewelry box will absorb ambient moisture.
