One vote for the first ring! (white mabe). It looks lively on your hand

Nobody in the family seems to like my akoya ring but I find the setting absolutely genious, so stable and nicely carrying the pearl. It would better be in white gold though...

Olga,

I like your rings very much, especially the mabe. You have pretty hands so the ring suits you very well!

Just look past the wrinkly affairs to the black keshi rings in the second tier

Valeria,
Those rings are too cool. I also wanted to add that kojimapearls is responsible for making my first Tucson show the amazing experience that it was. I would have been so lost.

Hi Josh
Fuiji and Sarah are a fantastic pearl people; you couldn't know anyone better to get you started in Tucson.

A little charming ring locket (!) packing five natural pearls and quite a bit of artistry... I think. Not really expensive, but it has to fit you... it doesn't fit me by too much to size.

That is just precious! You always find the coolest stuff. What might someone hide in such a small locket? Hair?

Possibly... It would have been a Victorian thing.

It looks like the little locket compartment cannot be opened very easily - you'd need some tool to take the glass lid off. So whatever goes inside should stay in between two visits at a watch repair shop (those guys would have the right gear to take the glass off in good conditions).

I've been thinking about getting a pearl ring for a while...a little nervous, as I'm rather rough with my hands...but finally succumbed and bought TWO! Very different creatures, these - both relatively low-profile, as such things go. One is silver and rose gold with a white button CFWP, the other is white gold with an abalone pearl.

I'm hoping I can manage not to destroy them too quickly!

I'm afraid the neighbors are starting to think I'm a bit strange, taking photos of my neck and hands...

Those are totally FABOO! Love the crown setting on the white pearl, and you know how I feel about abalone pearls. I hope you enjoy them for many years to come.

LOVELY !!! Especially the abalone. It looks like a calm, beautiful lagoon that makes me want to swim in it. The reflection is fabulous.

Hi there! Was surfing on the internet, when I came across this ring on a shopping site - thought it was worth sharing with you all... it is described as 14k Chocolate/White Diamond & South Sea Cultured pearls "Gloria" Ring.....

Also wanted to try my hand at attachments and whether I'd be able to upload a pic or not....I think I did it - yipee!

Wow, I have one very much like it. I can't find the photo, but I'll have to take it again. It was so beautiful that I literally HAD to buy the ring!
