Indulge in affordable elegance with this exciting ring, featuring a large round black shell pearl, centered on a fancy sterling silver band with shimmering cubic zirconia accents. Rhodium overlay gives the silver a beautiful finish that's both hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant.
Shell pearls are man-made simulated pearls created from organic materials. They are called “shell pearls†because each pearl nucleus bead is made from an actual shell of a clam. Many layers of pearl essence, made from crushed oyster shell, are applied until a lovely pearl luster is created.
Because they employ a shell nucleus and repeated layers of coating, shell pearls have a similar weight and feel, and the same deep luster found in excellent quality genuine pearls, at a fraction of the price.
