A luminous Biwa freshwater pearl is encased by hand in golden Alchemia and set upon an adjustable band. Biwa pearls take their name from Japan’s Lake Biwa, where freshwater pearl cultivation was pioneered in the 1930s. Formed without a traditional bead nucleus, layers of nacre develop into beautifully irregular shapes, making every pearl entirely one of a kind. Long associated with purity, integrity, and protection, pearl is believed to calm the mind and bring clarity to the wearer. The freeform pearl gives this ring an easy, organic feel, while the warm golden setting adds dimension. Adjustable for your perfect fit. ✦ Pearl measures 1 inch long / Alchemia + Pearl ✦ Each piece varies naturally in size, shape, and color Handcrafted in Mexico + signed by Charles Albert
