RJ 925 Sterling Silver Mother of Pearl Filigree Ring - Size 7
Sterling silver filigree ring centered on a large oval mother of pearl cabochon with a soft silky sheen and a warm cream cast toward one edge. The stone sits in a smooth bezel that holds it flush and unbroken, and the bezel is ringed by a raised border of round silver beads that circles the entire stone. Beyond that border the mounting opens into pierced filigree scrollwork, with S curves and spirals sweeping out to either shoulder and small beaded accents set into the curls. The band is wide and domed where it meets the setting, then tapers back to a narrower shank.
The layering is what carries this ring. Three distinct textures stack outward from the center, the flat glassy dome of the mother of pearl, then the tight run of polished beads, then the open scrollwork that lets light pass straight through the shoulders. That open piercing keeps a substantial ring from looking heavy, and the bright polish on the silver throws light back up under the stone so the nacre reads luminous rather than flat. The scroll motifs are cleanly cast with crisp definition in the curls.
Ring size 7. The wide domed profile gives it real presence on the hand while the tapered shank keeps it comfortable, and arrives packaged and ready to gift or add to your collection.

Fun Facts:
Mother of pearl is nacre, the identical material an oyster secretes around an irritant to form a pearl, built up in microscopic layers of aragonite platelets that bend light and produce the shifting iridescence.
The word filigree traces back to the Latin filum meaning thread and granum meaning grain, a direct reference to the fine drawn wires and tiny metal beads that define the technique.
