High Texture Hand Embroidery of the Moon, by Rachel Hobson
More amazing space crafts are up for voting in the NASA Etsy craft contest — I’m featuring several over the next two days because there’s some amazing stuff to see! The first two photos are of an amazing high-texture embroidery of the Moon. It’s really worth looking at the rest of the images on the listing, to get a feel for the range of texture and stitches involved!

Next, a fantastic moon crater ring! I’ve tagged this “for men” because it’s a size 11.5. If you’re a woman and you can wear it, by all means! (And wow, you have bigger fingers than me… and I have big hands!)

Nine Planets Ring
Posted by Danielle in Fashion & Accessories on April 8, 2009
I actually found this men’s ring while flipping through the back of an Astronomy magazine. I love meteorite jewelry, and since this has planets on it as well, I immediately pulled up the website.
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 inner 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.
The price isn’t for the faint of heart, but it is quite beautiful..!
Meteorite Ring

Okay, so. Usually I have the whimsical thing for you on Mondays. The suggestion of space thing, the stylized thing, the imaginative thing, the inspired-by thing. Don’t say I never deliver the REAL goods: an absolutely 100% GENUINE meteorite ring.
This ring features a genuine Nantan meteorite! The Nantan meteorite fell to earth, landing in China in May of 1516 during the reign of the Chinese Emperor Zhengde. It is comprised mainly of iron. The meteorite is set on an open-design band of Argentium sterling silver.
Nebula Ring

I love the look of this dreamy ring — the tourmalinated quartz is a nice touch. “Nebula” is stamped on the inside.
Outer Space Ring

Continuing my quest for interesting, space-related items on Etsy, I found this star-studded ring. I don’t usually go for beaded rings, but the design of this one struck me, and the combination of metals and colors… ah, yes, I’d wear this if I had a random-jewelry-buying budget.
