[meteorite-list] Meteorite rings - Nickel Content

[Jan Bartels]

Richard,

Look here for rings with meteorites.
http://www.jewelrydesignsformen.com/meta.html

This guy is a true artist. We got our wedding rings from him, handmade by 
order. The nickel/meteorite will never touch your skin since they are mostly 
on top of the rings.

Have fun viewing.

Best,
Jan
