Classic Akoya Pearl & Diamond Halo Ring

Pearls have long been a fashion statement, with a strand of white pearls being the most iconic. When a look is so classic, it can be intimidating. We love this Akoya pearl ring because it is classy enough to complement a strand of pearls without making it tacky, and it can be worn on its own to add a touch of refinement without leaning too heavily into a complete pearl strand look. The center-round creamy-white Akoya pearl is large (over 7mm) with excellent nacre and luster, glowing off the hand as it catches the light. The halo of white diamonds adds a next-level sparkle, but the ring is still dainty and feminine; thus, this ring would look at home on anyone’s hand. Don’t forget that this is a June birthstone ring, too!

Details: estate 14k yellow gold halo ring set with 7.5mm round Akoya pearl (white, cream hue, excellent luster) and .30ctw round diamond accents (SI GH), circa 1970.
