Sterling Silver Moldavite Ring with Herkimer Diamond & LDG | 0.3g | Chlum

A striking union of three remarkable natural treasures, this elegant closed ring combines genuine 0.3g Chlum Moldavite, a sparkling Herkimer Diamond, and a distinctive piece of Libyan Desert Glass in a refined sterling silver design.

The rich green Moldavite, created approximately 15 million years ago by a meteorite impact, brings its characteristic translucent colour and natural texture to the piece. Set alongside it, the naturally double-terminated Herkimer Diamond adds brilliant clarity and sparkle, creating a beautiful contrast with the deep green Moldavite.

Completing this unusual combination is Libyan Desert Glass, also known as Great Sand Sea Glass. This naturally occurring golden-yellow impact glass is found in the Sahara Desert and is admired for its warm colour, translucency, and mysterious extraterrestrial connection. Together, these three natural materials create a distinctive piece that celebrates some of nature's most fascinating impact-formed treasures.

The smooth sterling silver setting gives the ring a clean, contemporary appearance while allowing each stone to remain the focus. The closed-ring design provides a balanced and comfortable profile, making it an eye-catching statement piece while remaining easy to wear.

What is Moldavite & where is it from?

Moldavite is a rare tektite or meteoric glass, caused by an asteroid impact 15 million years ago. The intense, 10,000°C+ temperatures of the strike vapourised the asteroid, target rock and sand, flinging the molten substance high into the atmosphere.

From the impact zone in Germany some 300km away, it landed back to earth in what is now the Czech Republic and as it flew, it cooled and solidified into translucent green, glass-like droplets of various shapes and sizes.

It is said that only 1% of what had originally fallen is still intact to this day and the estimates of the total amount of Moldavite remaining is under 300 tonnes. In comparison with gold or diamonds, this makes Moldavite 1000x rarer.

99% of all Moldavite is found in a small area in the southern part of the Czech Republic. It can be found on the surface but the highly prized, well-preserved specimens are found up to 6 metres underground.
