The Pallas 1772 Collection
Authenticated meteorite, finished by hand. See the pattern in motion.
How is the meteorite's authenticity verified?
Every piece is set with meteorite from a registered classification in the Meteoritical Bulletin Database, the international scientific record kept by the Meteoritical Society. The registry is public, so you can check it yourself using the registry link in The Object section below. Your piece also arrives with a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its exact meteorite source.
What exactly am I getting?
Your pendant arrives on its matching chain, ready to wear the moment you open the box. With it comes a signed Certificate of Authenticity naming the exact meteorite your piece was cut from, all presented in a gift box, ready to give.
Every piece is sealed in rhodium for everyday wear, ships fully insured and tracked, and is covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. The meteorite is genuine: not resin, not a replica, not a coating.
Will it rust, and can I wear it every day?
No — that's exactly what the sealing is for. Raw iron meteorite would rust, so every piece is finished in rhodium: the same protective plating used on fine white-gold jewellery. It seals the meteorite against moisture, sweat and the rhythm of everyday life. Designed for daily wear, under or over a shirt — it's yours to wear without a second thought.
What if it's not right for me?
You have 30 days to return any unworn piece in its original packaging, with its certificate, for a full refund. Every piece is also covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects — structural faults or a setting that fails under normal wear. It doesn't cover accidental damage or loss.
MATERIAL
THE OBJECT
An 18th-century scientific instrument, worn at the chest.
The orrery was built to demonstrate the motion of celestial bodies — each one made by hand for the natural philosophers who studied the solar system in the late 1700s. The same era in which Peter Simon Pallas catalogued the pallasite class.
The Pallas Orrery returns to that form. A disc of Sericho pallasite (Meteoritical Bulletin entry) at the centre of two concentric rings in polished steel. The instrument that revealed the planets, scaled to the wearer.
Worn at the chest, it carries a fragment of what existed before this world.
THE CRAFT
One pair of hands. Cut to finish. Never split between artisans, never automated.
The raw slice is shaped, then etched in dilute nitric acid for the precise interval that surfaces the Widmanstätten pattern without softening its edges. Hand-polished, set, finished against a leather wheel. Hours per piece. No two faces are identical — the lattice inside the meteorite never is.
We don't source from suppliers who can't name the meteorite by its registered classification. We don't produce in volumes that compromise the work of the bench.
Slow work. Made by hand. In numbers small enough to remember.
