How we describe a piece
Every listing says what the piece is made of, where the material was found, and what we could not verify.
There are no certificates here, because in this trade most certificates are marketing paper. What you get
instead is the piece exactly as photographed — same materials, same hand-stringing, described down to
the clasp — and thirty days to change your mind.
— STELLAR BONE
Starfall · 坠星 — a five-pointed sky-iron star
The moment a star falls. A 15 mm five-pointed star cut from iron meteorite, set in a gold-plated bezel, hangs among moon-white porcelain-jade beads and turquoise from the Third Pole plateau — the same high plateau where the meteorite itself was found. The star's surface keeps the texture of space iron, and no two pattern alike.
Why the star is real meteorite
Iron meteorite is the core of a shattered asteroid, and its surface carries the Widmanstätten pattern — interlaced crystalline bands that grew roughly one millimeter per million years as the metal cooled in space. The pattern cannot be made in a laboratory at this scale; it is the collector's proof of a real fall. We cut the star to five points and frame it in gold plating so the pattern stays visible from any angle. In Chinese, sky-iron is called thokcha — literally "sky iron" — and it has been carried and worked on the plateau for centuries.
Sizing and wearing
Available in 18, 20 and 22 cm. White porcelain-jade beads are 8 mm, turquoise spacers 6 mm, star charm 15 mm; closed with a gold-plated box clasp, strung and knotted by hand. When in doubt about size, measure your wrist with a strip of paper and add 1–1.5 cm. Natural meteorite, jade and turquoise patterns vary piece to piece — that is the material, not a flaw.
Honest disclosure, no certificates
We don't print "certificates" — most certificates in this trade are marketing paper. The listing states what the star is, where the material was found, and what remains unverified. If your piece ever disagrees with the listing, return it within 30 days for a full refund, on us.
Care
Keep it dry when you can, wipe it with the included soft cloth after a heavy-wear day, and set it aside for swimming and showering. Iron meteorite may deepen into a gunmetal patina over the years — the metal aging, not damage. In stock and ready to ship.
Sky-iron is metal that fell from heaven — in the Five Elements, iron belongs to Metal, and the gold-plated star bezel and accents echo it. The moon-white porcelain-jade keeps the strand from turning cold; the turquoise holds the plateau between metal and earth.
Yin · Yang — Gold-framed meteorite star = yang (sky-fire fallen and cooled into metal); moon-white porcelain-jade beads = yin (the stillness of a plateau night). Turquoise spacers sit between — earth meeting sky.

A fall, worn on the wrist
✦
The Star — a fall, cut to five points
An iron meteorite, cut into a five-pointed star and sealed in a gold-plated bezel. When a star falls to earth it becomes stone — this one became iron, and kept its shape.
◍
The Strand — moon-white and plateau blue
Moon-white porcelain-jade beads like a quiet night, turquoise spacers from the Third Pole plateau where the meteorite itself was found, gold-plated spacers catching the light between them — closed with a gold-plated box clasp.

Good to know
A star that kept its shape
Iron meteorite is the core of a shattered asteroid, carried out of deep space and down through the sky. Cut to five points and framed in gold, this star keeps the Widmanstätten patterns it grew over millions of years in the cold — a crystalline record no workshop can imitate.
Caring for iron meteorite
Sky iron asks little: keep it dry, wipe it with the soft cloth included after a heavy-wear day, and set it aside when swimming. Over years the iron may deepen into a gunmetal patina — the metal aging, not damage.
Sizing & clasp
Available in 18, 20 and 22 cm, closed with a gold-plated box clasp. White porcelain-jade beads 8 mm, turquoise spacers 6 mm, meteorite star 15 mm. Natural meteorite, stone and turquoise patterns vary slightly piece to piece; each strand is strung and knotted by hand.
