As you can see from the photos, this is a larger to medium sized Ring. The Gemstone is not overly large at 6mm (approximately 1/4" in diameter (remember 25.40mm to 1 Inch)). Plated with Rhodium for added tarnish protection. Rhodium is a platinum based metal.

For all items we make, we add Renaissance Wax to all finished Jewelry, to protect it. Commonly used by Museums to protect valuable artwork and jewelry.

As with the most popular Jeweler's Insurance agency, Jeweler's Mutual, we recommend the same care for most stones and your jewelry. Use warm water, a soft tooth brush, and a mild dish detergent that do not contain dying or bleaching agents (Blue Dawn recommended) and then polish up.

For a more through cleaning take to a qualified jeweler and disclose any known treatments etc. that your gemstones may have. If you use Tarnish Removers, try to be careful to not get it on your gemstones. Ultra Sonic and Steam cleaning are not suggested safe for this gemstone.

Rated at 2.5-4 on the Moh's Level of Mineral Hardness this gemstone is not suggested for everyday wear so keep it protected from scratching. This is very soft so please take care of them. The Setting Should be able to protect it well.

Keep in a cool dark place when not using. We recommend not subjecting for extended periods to sunlight, or high humidity locations as Swimming Pools, Spas, etc. We do not recommend swimming in public pools with this gemstone on particular in chlorinated waters; which may include jacuzzi. Ocean or freshwater swimming should be fine though. Pearls are quite fond of cool A/C in the summer, just like we humans are and do not like to be subjected to high heat or lots of sun.

Pearl Facts: These are not plastic pearls or ones that have problems or potato looking. These are very nice pearls and natural except for the dying.

The sixteenth century in England better known as the Pearl Age, indicating that wearing pearls showed prestige and class by those who wore pearls at that time.

Pearls started becoming more fashionable in the 1900s and particularly the 1920s following the manufacturing of Cultured Pearls by Mikimoto in 1893; a Japanese Noodle maker at the time.

As time progressed larger necklaces, usually worn in strands were around 60 inches or longer with them shortening up as time goes on. Getting shorter and shorter. The Roaring 20s as they call it, was quite popular with people wearing long strands of pearls; though not as popular in today's age.

Pearls also bring out the colors in people's eyes as well; such a Blue Necklace or even a pendant; making colored pearls quite popular yet elegantly stylish. In today's world you can get any type of color in most pearls now days; you name the color; if they don't have it, it can be made. This is not to say that all Colored Pearls are fake. On the contrary, dying a Freshwater Cultured Pearl as the one sold, is no less natural than one that has not been dyed.

There are sold natural Golden Ones, normally referred to as Golden South Seas, but they can run you into the 100s of dollars and even thousands. And finding acceptable matches at any larger size; is a problem in itself as the pearl must stay in the oyster for longer periods of time before it's harvested. Environmental issues, natural, and otherwise, create extreme problems for natural pearls the longer they remain in the shell. As such they will be extremely expensive.
