Small Gold Open Circle Single Pearl Illusion Ring

$375.00

This small gold open circle single pearl illusion ring is handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: a 14k gold-filled floating open circle with one 8.4mm freshwater pearl seamlessly transitioning to a gilded arch open ring band. It is part of Aglow, her modular collection of barely-there, naked jewelry built to be stacked, layered, and lived in.

The circle and the arch appear to be separate forms, but the transition between them is what makes this ring interesting. Up close the geometry holds: the open circle reads as a frame around the pearl, and the gilded arch grounds it as a band rather than a pendant element. It is the kind of ring that catches the eye and then stays subtle, which is the whole point of Aglow.

The 8.4mm pearl is one of the larger stones I use in the collection, which is a deliberate choice here. Pearls are soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and a ring takes more contact than any other piece. I care for pearls the same way I always have: put it on last after lotion and perfume, take it off first, store it away from stones that can scratch it. With that much pearl in the circle, the luster is unmistakable and worth protecting.

From the Aglow collection.

What is this made of?
14k gold-filled floating open circle with one 8.4mm freshwater pearl seamlessly transitioning to a gilded arch open ring band, handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio.
How do I care for the pearl?
A pearl is 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, and store it away from harder stones that can scratch the surface. With that care, the luster holds for years.
Is this an illusion ring?
Yes. The open circle frames the pearl and the gilded arch forms the band, and the transition between them is seamless. The effect is that the circle and the band read as one continuous form, which is what gives this ring its name. It is part of the Aglow collection at andreali.com/aglow.
Is gold-filled real gold?
Gold-filled is a pressure-bonded layer of 14k gold over a base metal core. It contains significantly more gold than plating and does not flake or wear off with normal use, making it a durable everyday metal for a ring that lives on your hand.
