Material

This listing is for iron meteorite shavings, derived from the preparation of meteorites. The iron meteorite shavings come from the prep of Muonionalusta specimens.

Nikki’s Tip: A little goes a VERY long way, use it in the penultimate layer for best results. The resulting depth will depend on how much of the shavings you use, how it's placed and your other additions, inclusions and elements. Cremation ashes, for example, vary in colour from white through to browns, greys and black. Please make sure you tell your clients you cannot guarantee a shade but feel free to show them our stock images until you have your own. 

Size

Sold by volume, not weight, 1ml. These are packaged by hand in South Wales, UK by Nikki's mum and we do our best to slightly overfill each bag.

Upselling

We recommend you buy a compatible necklace setting, for example a small necklace setting (for example) to accompany any ring, bead or necklae. Once you've made the keepsake, you can offer to make a necklace for a small extra charge (£30 or so). Around half of your customers will take you up on this.

Upsell accessories, such as a ring holder necklace along with any ring, especially for clients who work with their hands or need to take their ring off during the day.
