A unique engagement ring made from a lunar meteorite and thermal tape from the Apollo 11 spacecraft was commissioned by a Lockheed Martin employee working on the Artemis mission.
In the United States, they created a unique ring that united the history of mankind and space, reports Space.com.
The jewelry was made by Honest Hands Rings, a jewelry company based in Colorado, commissioned by John Mesick, a planning manager for the aerospace company Lockheed Martin.
The centerpiece of the ring is a thermal polyimide ribbon from the legendary Apollo 11, the spacecraft in which astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first landed on the Moon in 1969. Messick purchased this ribbon at auction, which became -owns a 23-centimeter fragment, part of which was used to create the decoration.
An additional part is a lunar meteorite – a fragment of a satellite that fell to Earth. Unlike moon rocks brought back by astronauts, such specimens are available for purchase and sale.
Honest Hands Ring Co owner Ben Bosworth describes the ring making process as a special moment.
Interestingly, this is not the first unique work of the studio: they previously created a decoration from a vinyl record and dirt from the field of a baseball game.
It was previously reported that NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will make a record flyby on December 24, approaching the Sun at a distance of 6.2 million kilometers.
