Sometimes you happen across a pearl that is just so amazing, you have to do something special with it.
This pearl has quite a story. I brought it to Mexico to show Blaire, Caitlin and Douglas with a few other, similar pearls. It it a color-changing, baroque, metallic freshwater pearl (tissue nuke).
The bag of "special" pearls was swiped from my hotel room and I thought the pearls were gone forever. After returning to LA, Douglas emails me to tell me that someone showed up at his farm trying to sell a bag of pearls that looked very much like the bag of pearls I had brought with me. He got them back!
Blaire and Caitlin talked me into turning this extra special pearl into a ring so I designed a ring to showcase the pearl.
Here it is! It's 18 karat, with just under one carat of VS2 diamonds and .4 carats of pink saphire.
