14k Gold-Filled Graduated Pearl Ring

$260.00

This 14k Gold-Filled Graduated Pearl Ring is handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: a hand-fabricated 12 gauge 14k gold-filled ring set with 8-8.4 mm grade A and 4.5-4.8mm grade-A freshwater pearls in a graduated sequence that moves up the finger.

Graduating pearl sizes is one of the quieter techniques in jewelry design. The two pearl sizes -- 8 to 8.4mm at the center, stepping down to 4.5 to 4.8mm on each side -- create a tapered silhouette that sits low and wears clean without competing with anything else on your hand. I hand-fabricate the ring from 12 gauge 14k gold-filled wire, which gives the band real presence and keeps its shape through daily wear.

I choose grade A freshwater pearls for their luster and even surface. Because a pearl is soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and a ring meets the most contact of any piece, the order of wear matters: put this ring on last after lotion and perfume, take it off first. A little care is all it asks, and it will hold its luster for years.

This ring belongs in the Aglow collection -- a line of gilded, layered pieces built for stacking and everyday wearing. It holds its own alone or set alongside a plain band.

What is this ring made of?
A hand-fabricated 12 gauge 14k gold-filled ring with 8-8.4 mm grade A and 4.5-4.8mm grade-A freshwater pearls set in a graduated sequence. The band is fabricated from 12 gauge 14k gold-filled wire by Andrea Li in her Denver studio.
Is 14k gold-filled real gold?
Yes. Gold-filled is a U.S. federal standard requiring a bonded layer of 14k gold that is mechanically applied to a base metal core. It contains significantly more gold than plating and holds up to daily wear without fading or peeling the way plated jewelry does. The karat marking on this ring is 14k gold-filled, exactly as it sounds.
How do I care for the pearls?
Pearls are soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and a ring meets more contact than any other piece. Put it on last after lotion and perfume, take it off first before washing your hands or doing anything physical. Store it away from harder stones. With that routine the luster holds for years.
What is the Aglow collection?
Aglow is Andrea’s collection of gilded pearl pieces built for everyday wearing and stacking. Each piece is handmade and designed to layer with others in the collection or with your existing rings. The graduated pearl ring holds its own alone or alongside a plain band.
