Real pearl rings are never, ever ordinary. Set with the most beautiful cultured pearls in the world, they are absolute show stoppers. Each pearl ring offered by PurePearls.com is created by hand here in our Los Angeles CA production offices using only the finest pearls, gold, diamonds and gemstones. From romantic engagement and anniversary rings, to shout-out-loud modern solitaires and cocktail ring designs, our selection of cultured pearl rings has something for everyone.
Dazzle her with gorgeous saturated peacock pearls shining with colors and luster, like our Tahitian Pearls, or a sinuously twisting Solitaire Pearl Ring. We create every real pearl ring style by hand, to order using our In-House goldsmith. We employ only the finest AAA Quality South Sea, Tahitian and Freshwater pearls, every metal color you can think of, including 14K and 18K Gold and sparkling VS1 Diamonds. To learn more about Pure’s AAA Quality Only policy, read our Insider’s Guide to Pearl Grading – dedicated to teaching you how to evaluate and grade cultured pearls from around the world. Or contact us to speak with an experienced pearl jewelry consultant about your purchase!
We travel the world to find our stunning pearls, purchased from the pearl farms of French Polynesia, Australia, the Philippine Islands and China. Discover everything you could want to know about our legendary pearls by visiting our Expert's Guide to Cultured Pearl Types. From their exotic origins to popular pearl sizes and colors to a complete breakdown on pricing, our Pearl Education Center is a part of our site you won’t want to pass up. Our ability to buy and ship pearls direct from the source allows us to skip out on middleman markups that can range as high as 500% and gives us an unbeatable selection. That means you can shop with confidence knowing you'll find the highest quality pearls and craftsmanship at prices that can't be beat. The pearls in our store are a quarter of the price you’ll pay for similar items at brands like Mikimoto or Tiffany — with the same level of quality!
Our pearl ring collection features a diverse selection of the world's finest pearl varieties, each offering unique characteristics and beauty. From classic Akoya pearls to exotic Tahitian and South Sea pearls, we source only the highest quality specimens to ensure your ring becomes a treasured heirloom.
Getting the right ring size is essential for comfort and security, and we make it easy with several sizing options. We recommend using a professional ring sizer or visiting a local jeweler for the most accurate measurement, as finger sizes can vary throughout the day and in different weather conditions.
Most pearl rings can be resized, though the extent of resizing depends on the specific design and metal type. Simple solitaire designs and classic bands typically resize easily, while rings with intricate designs, channel-set stones, or certain structural elements may have limitations.
Pearl rings can absolutely be worn regularly with proper care and awareness, though pearls are softer than gemstones like diamonds or sapphires. Understanding pearls' organic nature and taking simple precautions will ensure your ring remains beautiful for generations.
We offer pearl rings in a variety of precious metals to complement different pearl colors and personal style preferences. Each metal option provides distinct aesthetic qualities and durability characteristics, allowing you to create the perfect combination for your taste and budget.
Proper care keeps your pearl ring lustrous and beautiful for a lifetime, and the cleaning process is simple and gentle. Because pearls are organic gems with a delicate surface, they require different care than traditional gemstones and should never be exposed to harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.
Absolutely! We specialize in creating custom pearl rings tailored to your exact specifications and preferences. Whether you want to change the pearl variety, metal type, or modify design elements, our expert team works with you to create a one-of-a-kind piece that perfectly matches your vision.
Pearl solitaire and halo rings represent two distinct design styles, each offering unique aesthetic appeal and presence. A solitaire features a single pearl as the focal point with minimal setting interference, while a halo surrounds the pearl with accent stones for added brilliance and visual impact.
Pearl rings make stunning and meaningful engagement rings or wedding bands, offering timeless beauty and rich symbolism of purity, wisdom, and lasting love. While less traditional than diamond rings, pearls have adorned brides for centuries and provide a unique, elegant alternative that stands out from conventional choices.
Custom pearl ring creation is a meticulous process that ensures your piece meets our exacting quality standards and your exact specifications. Timeline varies depending on design complexity, pearl selection, and current production schedule, but we keep you informed throughout every step of the creation process.
