Sterling Silver / 14K Plated White 12mm Cultured Freshwater Pearl & White Topaz Ring A look of grand decadence and elegant sophistication. Crafted from brushed 14K yellow gold plated sterling silver, this lovely drop design features one semi-round 12mm cultured Chinese freshwater pearl, with one round cut 2mm white topaz directly above in a bezel setting. The wonderful piece measures 9/16"L x 3/4"W x 1/8"H and the total weight of the topaz is approximately 0.04ct. About Cultured Pearls Because natural pearls are extremely rare to find, most pearls are actually cultured pearls. Cultured pearls are created when a small bead is implanted manually into the oyster, kept track of, and gradually coated with layers of minerals and proteins over a long period of time, before they are then pulled from the oyster. Due to these layers, or "nacre" as they are called, cultured pearls have the wonderful color and luster they are known for. All weights pertaining to diamond weights are minimum weights.

Pearls may have pit marks. Size and color may vary slightly. Do not use jewelry cleaners to clean pearls, use warm water. Put pearls on last after hair products, makeup and perfume.
