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

Seventy-four tonnes of iron, scattered across northern China — the longest meteorite strewn field ever documented. The first fragment of Aletai was recovered in 1898. The class was officially named in 2016.

The Widmanstätten pattern across the face formed in deep space over four and a half billion years. It cannot be reproduced on Earth. Every cross-section is unique to the slice it was cut from — the pattern on your piece exists nowhere else.

Set in a brushed steel frame on a heavy cable chain.

Classification: Aletai (IIIE-an iron meteorite, coarse octahedrite). Location: Altay, Xinjiang, China. First recovered 1898, class officially named 2016. Total recovered mass: 74 tonnes. Catalogued in the Meteoritical Bulletin Database.

THE OBJECT

Cosmic iron, set in brushed steel.

The Vault Tag is a face of authenticated Aletai meteorite (Meteoritical Bulletin entry), inset into a substantial brushed steel frame. No engraving on the steel. No ornament on the meteorite. The two materials carry the piece.

The cable chain is set heavier than standard, brushed to match.

Worn flat against the chest. The piece for the man who lets the material speak.

DIMENSIONS
Pendant: 31 × 20 × 5 mm · 20 g
Chain: 55 cm brushed 316L stainless-steel chain — included
Materials: Aletai iron meteorite · brushed stainless steel

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.

Got it as a gift for my partner. He loves it . Says it feels solid and premium. The certificate and the fact it’s real meteorite makes it feel special rather than just another necklace.

The craftsmanship on this is excellent. Everything lines up nicely, the finish is sharp, and it feels like something you’d keep for years. Wearing real meteorite instead of the usual stuff just hits different.

Love how this one feels. Proper weight to it, clean masculine shape, and the meteorite detail makes it stand out in a quiet way. Gets more compliments than I expected. Really happy with it.

Exactly the kind of understated piece I was after. Not flashy, just well made with a cool story behind it.

Bought it on a bit of a whim after seeing the cosmic story. Turned out better than expected. It’s properly weighty and the finish is nice. Already had someone ask about it in the pub the other day.

Really happy with it. The Vault Tag looks exactly like the photos. You can clearly see the meteorite texture and it feels well made. Wears comfortably under a t-shirt or with a shirt. Would recommend.

Decent piece. The brushed steel looks good and the meteorite insert has nice detail. Chain is sturdy. Only minor thing is it’s a bit on the heavy side but that’s what I wanted really.

took a few days longer to arrive than I'd hoped, but the pendant itself is great. The piece look is nicer in person than online.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago and it’s become my daily wear. The meteorite has a really cool natural pattern that catches the light nicely. It’s heavier than I expected but sits well. Got a few comments on it already.

Wasn't sure what to expect for the price but it's solid. Heavier than I thought. Wear it most days now.
