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.

Hey, so… I made this graphic. It’s great to see it reblogged on Tumblr today, but let’s talk for a moment about properly crediting people. I’m no saint when it comes to this, but we all oughta try at least.

If we find a funny pic, let’s do thirty seconds of research before we just post it uncredited. Cool?

Oh but how do I do that, you ask. What if there was no credit given where I saw it?

Try TinEye, a reverse image search engine. You give it an image, and it finds it on the web. In the case of the above lolpic, it will point you to a blog called Wisdom & Wonder, which will in turn credit yours truly.
