Merging modern industrial geometry with ancient cosmic history, this dynamic pendant showcases a striking 12.72 ct Aletai meteorite. Discovered in Xinjiang, China, in 1898, this rare coarse octahedrite is composed primarily of iron and nickel, distinguished by its unique high concentrations of gold and iridium compared to other IIIE irons. The meteorite’s striking metallic matrix brings a rugged, otherworldly cosmic history to the refined modern edge of the design.
The dynamic, articulated pendant features stacked geometric elements in oxidized silver, pierced and accented by sleek 18k white gold details for a high-contrast, mixed-metal finish, intentionally crafted to mimic the distinct Widmanstätten crystalline lines naturally present within the meteorite itself. This thoughtful mirroring creates a seamless visual connection between the rugged, otherworldly origins of the stone and the refined, mixed-metal edge of its architectural setting.
