Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite rings - Nickel Content
Hi, I used to wear a solid Gibeon ring. I had no allergic reaction but the skin near the ring turned brown. When it came time for me to get a wedding ring I got Gibeon lined with gold. I have had no problems with it. However the etched surface has been obliterated, I guess that I am rough on my jewelry.

Hi Dana, I just looked at Johan's website, and he does great work. Those are some beautiful pieces. But he really needs a new banner graphic - his graphic is not nearly as good as his jewelry.
