The Ferber family is full of astronomy lovers, so it is no surprise that one of our favorite products is our meteorite jewelry. Many of our meteorite pendants are made from one of the most famous meteorite discoveries of all time, the Gibeon meteorite from Namibia, Africa. It is amazing to think about the long journey that these pieces have taken, and now we get to help find them new homes!

When we found this spectacular example of a Byzantine histamenon gold coin we knew it deserved special attention.
Working with our new designer Maritza Miranda (more on her in a future post!), we decided the piece would draw inspiration from the famous architectural masterpiece, the Hagia Sophia. Located in Istanbul, Turkey, the Hagia Sophia is considered the pinnacle of Byzantine architecture, and was the largest cathedral in the world until the cathedral of Sevilla, Spain was constructed.
