Ganimedes
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.

Ganimedes, the largest moon of Jupiter, is known for its heavily cratered surface and its potential to have a subsurface ocean, making it a popular subject for artistic interpretation and inspiration. That is why Ganimedes became a subject in our designs, particularly in the form of artistic, handmade jewelry.
Artistic handmade jewelry inspired by Ganimedes can take many forms, depending on the interpretation of the artist. Some artisans may choose to depict the intricate patterns and textures found on the surface of Ganimedes in their pieces, creating intricate and detailed jewelry such as pendants, bracelets, and earrings. Others may choose to capture the bright white surface and icy color palette of Ganimedes to create jewelry with a cool, ethereal aesthetic.
One of the popular materials used to create Ganimedes inspired jewelry are meteorites and gold. Meteorites that have fallen to Earth are made of different materials including iron and nickel, giving them unique patterns and textures that can be used to create intricate designs. Gold is a precious metal that is known for its beauty and durability, it can be used to create jewelry with a sophisticated and elegant look. The combination of meteorite and gold allows the artist to create a wide range of jewelry with unique styles, colors, and textures.
Ganimedes has also been used to inspire jewelry that is meant to be worn as a symbol of hope and wonder, a reminder of the vastness and beauty of the universe. Artistic handmade jewelry inspired by Ganimedes, made of meteorite and gold, is unique and captivating, making it a popular choice among those who appreciate the beauty of space and the natural world.
