Abalone Pearl Ring 9.5mm in Sterling Silver with 18K Yellow Gold accents

Description

Touches of 18K yellow gold warm the sterling silver of this handcrafted ring, drawing your eye toward a 9.5mm round natural abalone pearl at its center. Lifted from the cold Pacific waters off Mendocino, California, abalone pearls are among the rarest natural pearls, and this one turns a swirl of blue, green and silver as it meets the light. The gold accents add a glint of warmth that makes the pearl’s cooler iridescence read all the more vividly.

Richard Lewis makes every one of these rings by hand, so yours arrives as a one-of-a-kind piece. It comes in US ring sizes 4.75 to 8.75. Abalone is an organic pearl, softer than most gemstones, and it rewards careful keeping. Hold it away from perfume, hairspray and household chemicals, never put it through an ultrasonic cleaner, and store it on its own, apart from harder stones that might mar its surface.
