The Pallas Blade — Sericho pallasite pendant with hand-engraved gold-tone hilt and amber-gold olivine crystals, photographed against a dark backdrop

THE OBJECT

The first blades in human history were forged from meteoritic iron — the only iron available to humans before smelting was discovered. The Pallas Blade returns to that material.

The body of the piece is set with authenticated Sericho pallasite — a rare class of meteorite consisting of iron and nickel laced with translucent olivine crystals, formed in the molten core of a destroyed planet during the first hundred million years of the solar system. The visible amber-gold flecks across the blade are those olivine crystals — older than the Earth itself. Sericho was recovered in 2016 near the village of Habaswein in Kenya (Meteoritical Bulletin entry).

Pallasites are the class of meteorite catalogued in 1772 by the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas. Every pallasite ever found bears his name. The Pallas Blade is forged from the meteorite this brand is named for.

The hilt is finished in gold-toned hand-engraved detail set against a polished steel body. Suspended from a heavy gold-tone box chain.

A weapon's silhouette, made from the metal weapons were first made of.

MATERIAL

Sericho is a pallasite — a rare class of meteorite with an iron-nickel matrix laced with translucent olivine crystals, formed in the molten core-mantle boundary of a destroyed planetary body during the first hundred million years of the solar system. Recovered in 2016 near Habaswein, Kenya.

Pallasites are the class catalogued in 1772 by the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas — the meteorite this brand is named for. The amber-gold flecks visible across the face are olivine crystals older than the Earth itself.

Classification: Sericho (PMG pallasite — main-group)
Location: Habaswein, Garissa County, Kenya
Recovered: 2016
Catalogued in the Meteoritical Bulletin Database.

THE CRAFT

Meteoritic iron is harder than terrestrial steel and three times as difficult to work. A single piece passes through the hands of one artisan from cut to finish — never split between hands, never automated.

The raw meteorite slice is cut and shaped. The face is etched in dilute nitric acid for the precise interval required to surface the Widmanstätten pattern without softening the edges. The metal is hand-polished, set, and finished against a leather wheel. Hours per piece. No two outcomes are identical because the lattice inside the meteorite is never identical.

We do not source from suppliers who cannot name the meteorite by its registered classification. We do not produce in volumes that compromise the work of the bench.

This is slow work, made by hand, in numbers small enough to remember.

PROVENANCE

Every Pallas 1772 piece is delivered with a hand-numbered certificate of authenticity, signed by the artisan responsible for it.

The certificate records the meteorite's official classification, its find location, its date of discovery, and the weight of meteoritic iron contained in your piece.

We do this for a simple reason. Counterfeit meteorite jewelry is widespread, and most buyers cannot tell the difference between a real Widmanstätten pattern and a stamped surrogate. A certificate that can be verified is the difference between a piece that holds value and a piece that does not.

The certificate is part of the object. Keep it with the piece.
