This custom fabricator for the movie industry took a real Gibeon meteorite that he purchased online and turned it into his own unique wedding band. It took him four days to take the hunk of iron (the meteorite) and fashion it into a burnished wedding ring with a double helix twist that will not rust, and will surely be one of a kind.
