Hi-Res Photos of New Additions to David Yurman Meteorite Collection Emerge

In a Robb Report sidebar titled "Heaven Sent," the following two high-resolution images of soon-to-be-released pieces from David Yurman's Meteorite Collection were featured. (Do note that the latter was previously teased by Instagram user @gregmaczko.)

Staff writer Jill Newman shared these nuggets in the story:
  • The stone cuts used in the pieces derive from a meteorite that landed, thousands of years ago, in modern-day Gibeon, Namibia
  • There are now twenty-five (25) unique designs in the David Yurman Meteorite Collection. Pieces range in price from $600 to $7000.
  • The crystal structure of the meteorite is revealed through a slicing of the stone and the application of an acid bath.
  • Says Evan Yurman of the collection: "The meteorite makes you dream and wonder. It's the only intergalactic material you can actually wear."
So there you have it, folks. I guess this means the meteorite line has been upgraded from a "limited edition" collection to a signature one (likely due to popular demand). Stay tuned. Some of these pieces are sure to become available for purchase in the near future on DavidYurman.com.
