Abalone Pearl Ring 12x10mm in 14K Yellow Gold

Description

Warm 14K yellow gold wraps around a natural abalone pearl in this handcrafted ring, the metal glowing against the pearl’s restless play of color. The oval pearl measures 12 by 10mm and was found in the cold Pacific waters off Mendocino, California, where abalone pearls form slowly and unpredictably. No two ever share the same swirl of blues, greens and silvers, so the iridescence here belongs to this stone alone. The solid gold setting frames it cleanly and lets that shifting fire lead.

Richard Lewis handcrafts each of these rings individually, which makes the one you receive genuinely one of a kind. It comes in US ring sizes 5.5 to 9.5. Because abalone is an organic pearl and softer than most gemstones, treat yours gently: keep it away from perfume, hairspray and household chemicals, skip the ultrasonic cleaner, and store it apart from harder stones so the surface stays smooth and luminous for years.
