Gold is not going to get cheaper and still remains the king of metals, but you should not limit your choice only to gold jewelry. Sometimes you can go the other way and focus on the theme or style of the jewelry. Today we will talk about space jewelry.



Space is also an eternal theme, therefore the Moon, stars, planets and meteorites will always inspire jewelers to create jewelry. The most affordable jewelry is offered by our asian friends... You can buy pendants with the moon and stars for 2-3 dollars and sometimes you come across products of very good quality! But none of this can be compared with jewelry made of meteorite iron.


If you really love space, but cannot touch it except through a telescope, take a closer look at meteorite jewelry. Every day, many meteors, fireballs and meteorites fall on the Earth. Most of the guests from space are burned up in the atmosphere, others reach the ground, but crumble into dust on impact with the surface. Only a small part of meteorites fall into the hands of people.

The most valuable meteorites are composed of metals, they were valued in the ancient world. In ancient times, sacred objects or weapons were made of them, accessible only to a select few. Today, products made of meteorite iron have become more affordable, but they have not lost their value. Now you don't have to be a queen to afford jewelry from outer space.



Ebay auction sellers offer metal meteorites and meteorite iron or alloy jewelry. The most common types of alloys contain iron, less nickel and other metals, including rare earths.

Recently, fashionable media only talk about new technologies, innovative materials, and offer us clothes and accessories made of PVC, which at the same time goes to the manufacture of sewer pipes. All these things cannot be compared with jewelry from outer space. Agree, it is very pleasant to wear a pendant made of real space materials.

Just imagine how long the suspension flew among the stars before it got to the planet Earth! It is possible that our pendant came from another star system, although this is unlikely. Most likely, our meteorite originated in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. By cosmic standards, this is very close, as if in the next room, but by the standards of people it is in a different world.



Now they talk a lot about flights to Mars, especially Elon Musk distinguished himself in this. Only a very narrow-minded person who knows nothing about the real state of affairs can only take his statements seriously. Elon Musk has neither the technology nor the resources to fly to Mars. Its capabilities will make it possible to carry out only short flights in low Earth orbits and nothing more.

There is nothing interesting in low Earth orbits, except for the banal views of our planet and space debris!

It will take a long time before people can fly to the red planet. Perhaps many of us will never live to see that day. But jewelry made of meteorite metal will bring us closer not only to Mars, but also to Jupiter. The flight of a man to Jupiter is not seriously discussed, because this huge planet has a great gravity and is completely inhospitable.


The main problem with buying pendants, rings and other meteorite jewelry is the honesty of the seller. Personally, I don't want to buy a regular iron pendant for $ 300-500. I would like to have guarantees of authenticity.

A serious seller or store must provide a certificate for their products, which will detail in detail - from which meteorite the decoration is made, name, place of fall, weight, composition. In addition, meteoric iron has a special structure that cannot be reproduced in terrestrial conditions.

Jewelry from space and radiation

Previously, radiation was considered to be something innovative. There was a time when beauties bought radioactive cosmetics and thought they were prolonging youth. Today even little girls are afraid of radiation, and space is famous for its radiation. Only there ionizing radiation is X-rays and gamma radiation from the Sun.

There are also galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays, neutrons from radiation belts and much that our scientists do not know. But none of this applies to meteorites. Even if our meteorite once contained a fraction of radioactive metals, they have long since played out.

Do you remember the most basic foundations of nuclear physics about the half-life? Our pendant is several billion years old, which means there is nothing to be afraid of. Although if there was uranium 238 there, there is a small chance of getting a little radiation.

In any case, all samples are tested and are absolutely harmless. Most importantly, the radioactive decoration will not pass through the postal services. Nowadays, radiation monitoring systems of the Yantar type and other models are installed everywhere. Therefore, shop calmly, radiation will not enter our house!
