14k Gold-Filled Graduated Pearl Ring
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.

The Statement Gold Three Pearl Floating Illusion Ring is handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: a 14k gold-filled open band engineered so that three freshwater pearls - two at 8.4mm and one at 10mm - appear to hover above the finger rather than sit on it. The open frame disappears against the skin. The pearls read as if they exist independently of anything holding them there.
Where most pearl rings press the stone into a visible bezel or claw setting, this band is designed to recede completely. The asymmetric pearl arrangement - the larger 10mm pearl anchoring the composition with the two 8.4mm pearls flanking it - is the design choice that makes this ring feel like a statement without adding weight or height. The structure is doing significant work without showing it. From the Aglow collection, where every piece is built around light-catching, minimal, sculptural forms.
Pearls ask for a little care on a ring your hands wear every day. They sit around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, softer than most gemstones, which means they absorb oils, perfume, and chemicals faster than harder stones. Put the ring on last, after lotion and perfume. Take it off first before washing your hands or anything abrasive. A soft cloth wipe keeps the nacre bright.
