It can be hard to get their style just right while remaining within budget and going too bold can be a serious risk.

The Pearl Ring
The exquisite elegance of pearls can be showcased in a variety of ways, but we adore the understated style of a simple pearl ring. The gemstone’s unique lustre will vary depending on whether you choose white or yellow gold, and will glow discretely, bringing an air of sophistication you your look.
While it is easy to wear other gemstones and forget about them, pearls are naturally high in calcium carbonate, which means that they are more porous and need a little more TLC than other jewelry. Try to keep your pearls away from chemicals; moisturizers, make-up; even perfume can be absorbed into the pearl and, over time, reduce its ethereal glow. It is advisable that you take your pearls off to shower, wash your hands, and exercise and, after use, rub it in a small amount of natural oil to help stop the stone from drying out.
If you care for your pearls carefully, they will bring you joy and grace for many years to come.
