I just finished making a new one-off ring — all my rings are somewhat unique but this one truly is because the ring was carved just to fit the pair of nickel-iron Nantan meteorites found in China in 1516 AD. The design itself is based on the ancient astronauts motif with the two figures being actual historical artifacts. The plane is South American from 500 to 800 BCE, and the astronaut in the “space suit” dates back to 4000 BCE and was found near Kiev. I’m very happy with the way this ring turned out, and it was sort of a whirlwind making it. The blank clay master with the mountings for the meteorites had been sitting for a solid six months, but then inspiration struck and I worked fairly continuously on it and finished it over about three days.
