Pearls have mesmerized us for millennia. Historically, they were symbolic of wisdom gained through experience and, as a result, make a perfect wedding gift.

Unlike other gems, which are formed beneath the earth as the result of intense temperature and pressure, pearls are formed in water, inside of various freshwater and saltwater mollusks. They are considered a gem but not a stone.

This ring, a beautifully made Art Deco style piece, showcases a 12.7mm natural South Sea pearl and is embellished with a third of a carat of diamonds.
