Moldavite is green glass from space, sort of: it formed when a meteorite slammed into Earth about 15 million years ago.

The impact melted rock and flung it into the sky, where it cooled into wrinkly, forest-green glass. It's named after the Vltava River, called the Moldau in German, near where it was first found. A single piece is set in a simple sterling silver band, so the colour does all the talking.

It's one of the most talked-about stones there is, with a legend that it was the green stone in the Holy Grail. Many people describe it as intense and say they feel it right away. Others simply love wearing a little piece of an ancient impact on their finger.

How to use it

• Wear it as an everyday statement ring
• Start with short wears if it feels intense
• Pair it with simple silver jewellery
• Give it to the space nerd in your life

Care: Take it off for the gym, gardening and cleaning, and polish the silver gently with a soft jewellery cloth.
