A note on production time..... Please read my current production time on this custom piece prior to purchasing- https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Specimental?ref=hdr_shop_menu
PLEASE NOTE: The exact rings pictured in this listing have been sold. The photos are used to give you an idea of how your custom-made ring will appear once built.
The focal point of the ring is a luscious, steel-coloured pearl. Although these pearls all come from the same parcel, some are lighter, and some are darker. If you have a preference, please let me know during checkout.
I have bookended the pearl with two gorgeous, glossy raw diamond crystals. Both perfectly compliment the iridescent gloss of the pearl.
The sterling silver ring band is in a double-tipped formation. I gave it a dramatic, linear texture with my hammer, and then polished it with a steel brush.
The diamonds and pearl, including the bezel, measure about 13mm across. The ring band is 4mm across. The diamonds I am using for these rings measure around the 3.5-4mm mark, so smaller than the pearl, which is around 6-7mm across.
All edges have been sanded for comfort, and the inside of the band was given a high shine polish. Some of the rings shown have had the granulation (little silver balls) oxidized and then buffed, leaving a dark accent around them. If you would like me to oxidize your details, please let me know.
