Inspired by Science: the fantasy of fact

18k gold Nine Planets ring with Meteorite and gemstones
This ring features a complete band of Gibeon Meteorite framed and mounted in an 18k gold band. The meteorite has been etched with nitric acid to reveal the characteristic patterns, or Widmanstatten figures, of iron meteorites, and set with 9 gemstones representing the planets of our Solar System. Mercury is represented by a rust colored Sapphire, Venus a golden Sapphire, Earth an irradiated blue Diamond, Mars a Ruby, Jupiter an Opal, Saturn a Cats Eye Chrysoberyl with an inlaid 24k gold ring, Uranus a green Sapphire, Neptune a blue Sapphire and Pluto a black Diamond. What really makes this ring special is that the band of meteorite spins independent of the gold ring, so when it is on, the planets rotate around the wearer’s finger. This ring weighs 26 grams, is 10 mm wide and is a size 11.5. It cannot be sized, but can be custom made in any size.
Price: $4200.00

I’m sure someone’s already corrected them on the planet count.

Many thanks to Shanell Papp for pointing out that she was the creator of this sculpture. If you see work you know on here and don’t see a mention or link to the artist, please send us a message. I made this Tumblog to promote art inspired by science, and an important part of that is recognizing the artists.

Jupiter embroidery - done! My own design, loosely based on a series of photos by NASA showing the Great Red Spot devouring nearby little spots :-) Chain stitch in cotton, silk and specialty threads.

Artist Lisa Nilsson constructed various cross sections of the human body using only pieces of rolled paper. Click to zoom in on each picture and be amazed.

I can’t quite make out the artist’s name. Does anyone know who did this?

By Horst Kiechle, I think this is one of the more original takes on a standard anatomical organ composition that you traditionally get in a science lab. Beautiful architectural structuring of geometric shapes that transforms the paper into something really amazing, the best part is that you can take each organ out and reassemble it all over again!
