The pearl ring, a chic and timeless accessory par excellence
Since antiquity, pearls have been used to create exquisite jewelry. It is said that high-ranking Roman families would give one or two pearls a year to their daughters so that they would possess a complete necklace upon reaching adulthood. At that time, these hard, lustrous calcareous concretions symbolized wealth, luxury, and power.
In jewelry, the value of a pearl ring depends on the shape, luster, size, color, and weight of the pearls that compose it. While luster is a key criterion for judging a pearl's quality, it is often the pearl's dimensions that influence its price. Playing a role in a pearl's luster, color, and durability, the thickness of the nacre should also be among your selection criteria if you are looking for a pearl ring to wear for years to come.
While necklaces often embody the preciousness of pearls in the collective imagination—one thinks, for example, of the pearl necklaces worn by Coco Chanel in her 1936 portrait or those of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)—pearl rings are no less noble jewels. Often more discreet than a pearl necklace, they possess a certain minimalism that lives up to all expectations.
A must-have piece of women's jewelry, the pearl ring will charm you with its timeless appeal . Transcending eras and borders, pearl rings naturally find their place among lovers of traditional jewelry. While often whimsical, some designs allow you to proudly express your individuality by reinterpreting and playing with the codes of the past and present.
How to care for a pearl ring?
Taking care of your pearl ring begins with keeping it separate from your other jewelry when you're not wearing it. The nacre of cultured pearls is inherently fragile and can be scratched by contact with other materials and gemstones, hence the importance of storing your jewel in a separate compartment or individual pouch.
To preserve the authentic charm of your pearl ring, remove it from your finger while getting ready, before showering or going to bed, and before engaging in any type of physical activity. Sensitive to perfume, perspiration, and fatty acids, pearls can turn green and tarnish when regularly and/or prolongedly exposed to these substances. As organic materials, they therefore require special care.
To clean your pearl ring , begin by gently wiping it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Carefully rub each pearl, including those hard-to-reach areas, for maximum and lasting shine. Then, allow your jewelry to air dry.
Every two years or so, give your pearl ring a thorough cleaning. Olive oil is your best friend for this: simply place a few drops of oil on a soft, clean, dry cloth and carefully wipe each pearl to bring out its characteristic natural shine.
The best way to protect a pearl ring is actually to wear it! The contact of the pearls with your skin allows it to retain its beautiful luster. So make your pearl ring your new favorite everyday accessory. Luckily, our team has selected precious pieces with undeniable fashion appeal just for you.
