Three rows of round brilliant cut diamonds pavé set and carried around the pearl in a wave, following the irregular line of the stone rather than enclosing it in a fixed frame. Measures 23 mm across the top and tapers to 2.54 mm at the rear of the shank. Gross weight 11.61 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCENTER PEARL:\u003c\/strong\u003e One baroque cultured South Sea pearl measuring 19 by 17 mm. Body color silver and cream with distinct purple and blue overtone. Surface with the natural relief and undulation characteristic of baroque growth. Lustre bright with clear reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eACCENT STONES:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round brilliant cut natural diamonds, pavé set, total weight approximately 0.57 carats, graded approximately G in color and VS in clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Examined under magnification. Pearl secure at the time of examination with no movement at the seat. Nacre surface intact with no chips, cracks, or abraded areas observed. Pavé intact with no lifted or missing beads. Mounting sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREMARKS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Size is the first thing to understand about this pearl. South Sea material is grown in Pinctada maxima, the largest of the pearl oysters, and the great majority of what reaches the market runs between 9 and 16 mm. At 19 by 17 mm this pearl sits well beyond the ordinary commercial range and represents a long cultivation in a mature shell. The silver body with purple and blue overtone points to the silver lipped variety rather than the gold. Unlike akoya, which is routinely bleached and processed as a matter of course, fine South Sea pearls are typically brought to market with their natural color intact. The wave of pavé is the correct answer to a baroque stone, since a symmetrical halo would only draw attention to the fact that the pearl is not symmetrical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pearl is an organic gem and is considerably softer than any faceted stone. This ring should be the last thing put on and the first thing taken off, and kept away from perfume, hairspray, cosmetics, household cleaners, chlorine, and perspiration, all of which will dull or etch nacre over time. Never clean in an ultrasonic machine or with steam. Wipe with a soft damp cloth after wear and store separately from harder jewelry. Worn thoughtfully a pearl ring lasts generations; worn carelessly it will not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWeights, measurements, and grades stated are approximate and determined while the pearl and stones are mounted, in accordance with standard practice for jewelry examined in the setting.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pryce House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45968171696188,"sku":"PH-SSPEARL1917","price":7080.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/7111\/0204\/files\/E89D9F80-1311-4512-BDFE-96C7B5D84D25.png?v=1787589931","url":"https:\/\/prycehouse.com\/products\/south-sea-baroque-pearl-19-x-17-mm-and-diamond-ring-in-18kt-white-gold","provider":"Pryce House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
