Circinus

Wedding bands made of gold and meteorite

Wedding rings handmade by a certified master goldsmith.

This meteorite ring set is made of steel meteorite, distinguished by its extraordinary structure and durability, and the finest 14K gold certified by the Swiss Metal Control Office.

The rings were cut out of a single meteorite fragment, then folded, scolded and covered in 14K gold heated up to high temperature allowing the two metals to merge.

These wedding bands were designed for anybody who seeks for something alternative, original and handcrafted.

Every single artwork manufactured by Galeria Derecki is handmade and unique – there will be no identical copies of the rings you see on the pictures above nor the ones you’ll receive.

The constellation of Circinus is a small constellation in the southern hemisphere, located near the south galactic pole. It is one of the 88 modern constellations, and is named after the astronomical compass, which is also known as a “Circinus.”

It is in a rich part of the Milky Way, near the center of the galaxy, and is home to many interesting astronomical objects.

As for the jewelry made of meteorite and gold inspired by Circinus constellation, our artisans were inspired by the association of the constellation with the astronomical compass, which is used to navigate the night sky.

The use of meteorite in the jewelry is a reference to the origins of the solar system and the materials that formed the planets. The use of gold is a reference to the precious and rare nature of the astronomical objects found in the constellation.

Meteorites are hidden in the structure of metal forged in the style of Damascus steel.
