Our solid sterling silver ring is made with a 4.5mm cultured pearl. The ring face is roughly 8.5mm. The ring had been polished to enhance the pearl. The piece is handcrafted, including the cabochon, so no two will be the same. Take pride in knowing that your ring is one of a kind. The ring is currently a size 9.5, but we can resize it. slight variations may occur. NOTE: Each piece is in its natural state. It’s not coated with anything to prevent tarnish. Oils, lotions, moisture, etc. will accelerate the tarnish, so its recommended that you use a jewelry cloth for cleaning after wearing your jewelry.
