This pearl ring was a recent commission piece – a nice big Kasumi style pearl in a simple sterling silver setting.

Jade provided the design, and was just lovely to work with!

I learned a lot about pearls while making this ring. The mussel that grows this particular kind of pearl makes pearls with a lot of texture and variations in color. I really like that idea, as I like the “grown by mother nature” feel provided by some bumps and imperfections. A bit like all of us, really!!
