Their contrasting colours and forms create a striking visual balance, while the open-ring design allows each stone to shine independently yet remain perfectly connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smooth sterling silver setting gives the ring a clean, modern appearance while allowing the natural beauty and character of both gemstones to take centre stage. Adjustable and highly wearable, it is equally suited as a statement piece or an everyday reminder of the remarkable forces of nature that created these stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoldavite and Herkimer Diamond are often regarded as one of the most complementary pairings in the mineral world, admired for both their beauty and their unique geological origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach ring is\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehandmade in Bali, Indonesia\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the spiritually infused\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIsland of the Gods\u003c\/em\u003e, by our traditional Balinese jeweller\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNengah\u003c\/strong\u003e, whom we met personally in Amed.

The intense, 10,000°c+ temperatures of the strike vapourised the asteroid, target rock and sand, flinging the molten substance high into the atmosphere.\u003cbr\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003cbr\u003e99% 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 to be found up to 6m underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoldavite NZ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eis a small family business and collectors hub based in New Zealand.
