Hi Graham,
The last link above suggests 500 units of the bracelet will be produced. So I guess, if production reaches those numbers, they'll need a few meteorites and there'd be quite a bit of spoil. This
report makes me think it unlikely the demand will be that great. It could be worth contacting NDPP to let them know you may be interested, if the senturian doesn't hit the numbers. I've recently developed nickel sensitivity, so a £62,000 nickel-iron bracelet probably isn't for me. At least for that price you can be pretty sure it won't rust?...
While on the subject of meteorite machining, I see
Accurate Cutting Services have cut meteorites for the NHM.
Do we know any other UK and Ireland based meteorite-related services?
