I know this sounds like something from the Science Fiction Channel, but I just found some great unique ideas jewelry ideas for the special someone who is stuck on what to give for a sixth wedding anniversary (or, really, any other occasion)!

Moldavite is formed when a meteorite smashes into the earth and melts the rock around it. You can see why this makes beautiful jewelry! Photo from Wikipedia.

Let’s start with the sixth wedding anniversary idea: the traditional gifts for a sixth wedding anniversary is candy or iron. Well, the candy is easy but neat, meaningful gifts made out of iron are hard to come by these days. I was surfing around for a friend the other day and stumbled across the perfect unique gift: meteorite jewelry!

You see, meteorites are mostly made of iron. Apparently you can test to see if a meteorite is “real” or not by seeing if it is magnetic. The more magnetic it is, the more iron it is probably made of and the more likely it is to be a real meteorite! Some people people have taken these rocks from space and made some amazingly cool beaded and pendant jewelry pieces with them! There are actually several different types of meteorites and they can vary in color from a dark reddish orange to a deep dark gray. They are usually dull in color but can have some bright silvery sparkles which is nickel.

Moldavite is related to meteorites because it is formed when a meteorite impacts the earth and the heat and energy of the impact melts the stone around the impact site. Moldavite is green and can vary widely in color and quality. Moldavite is supposedly becoming increasingly rare, but you can find a lot of people still buying and selling moldavite jewelry. One of the most stunning samples of moldavite jewelry I was able to find was the moldavite pendant featured at the Aerolite Meteorite site.

In fact, youcan read more of the details about meteorites and moldavite at one of the best sources of information for meteorite jewelry at Aerolite Meteorites. The one thing you can definitely say about meteorite and moldavite jewelry: they’re out of this world! LOL! (sorry, couldn’t resist!)
