My fiance' recently (and with no encouragement by me) came across rings made of
meteoritic iron and asked me if I would be interested in such a ring for my
wedding band. She had never seen them before and I of course hadn't even
considered bringing the idea up, but since she thinks its a great idea for my
ring, who am I to object?
My concern is the possibility of my developing a nickel allergy. AFAIK, I'm not
allergic to the metal, but she certainly is.
My preference would be to have my ring made of a solid billet of the Iron used,
but of course one that has in inlay of the Iron might be a better choice to
limit exposure.
It appears that the most commonly available rings are made using Gibeon &
Seymchan and some use Tambo Quemado. I'm just curious which of these three have
the lowest Nickel content?
Thanks
