Abalone Pearl Ring 12x10mm in Sterling Silver

Description

Nature rarely works in perfect circles, and this ring leans into that with a freeform natural abalone pearl measuring 12 by 10mm. Found in the cold Pacific waters off Mendocino, California, the pearl keeps the irregular outline it grew with, its surface alive with blue, green and silver. Richard Lewis makes every piece by hand in his Santa Rosa studio, and with a freeform stone like this, no two will ever match. Yours is firmly one of a kind.

The sterling silver setting follows the pearl’s natural shape rather than forcing it into a standard mount, which gives the ring an easy, sculptural feel. This one comes in US sizes 5.25 through 9.25. As an organic gem, the abalone pearl asks for gentle care. Keep it away from perfume, hairspray, chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and store it apart from harder stones that might scratch its delicate surface.
