Pearl rings, just like other forms of jewellery, share a rich cultural history and continue to be a long-standing symbol for many different concepts such as literary works and even real-life, anecdotal accounts.
Among modern-day trends, rings serve various aesthetic purposes. Whether as a complementary accessory or part of an ensemble, rings can be some of the most meaningful gifts for your loved ones.
Pearl Rings – A Brief History
Although the true origin of pearl rings is still shrouded in pre-history, where history and archaeology intersect, it is widely believed that rings have been part of human culture for at least 6,000 years.
Since ancient times, rings have been used to seal important documents and seal contracts or agreements depending on the material used in conjunction with a gemstone. And to this day, rings signify authority, an expression of symbolic faith and something to commemorate meaningful bonds between people.
Historically, the earliest known application of pearls in rings was in 420 B.C. in ancient Persia. These early pearl rings were found in the sarcophagus of a Persian princess, along with other jewellery and accessories using pearls.
Ancient China venerated pearls with high regard and denoted power, status and important milestones. They were presented as gifts to Chinese royalty, dating back as early as 2300 B.C. Not only were these worn to display wealth and status, but they were also shared during wedding ceremonies to celebrate the unification of two people.
Benefits Of Owning Pearl Rings
Pearl rings make for a perfect go-to accessory for adding a quick flair to any fashion, making it a quick fix and easy solution for most fashion needs and dilemmas. This beautiful accessory adds sparkle to any outfit.
Aside from being quite the fashionable accessory, they can also be considered investments, especially if they’re of exceptional quality and craftsmanship. The combination of factors such as the types of materials used, the quality of craftsmanship and the uniqueness of design assures that your pearl rings will only appreciate in value as time passes. But most importantly, pearl rings make the perfect gifts for your beloved or special someone to commemorate a special day, an achievement, or to convey your feelings to your significant other.

Choosing the Right Pearl Ring
Like pearl necklaces and pendants, the availability of astounding pearl rings in the market today might overwhelm you at times, making it difficult for you to choose which one suits you best.
Pearl FALCO Is Here To Help You Choose The Right Jewellery For You!
Consider your finger’s measurements – The most crucial part of selecting pearl rings for yourself or as a gift for someone. Before anything else, it is vital to get precise measurements to ensure that you get the appropriate ring size.
Finger Length X Width + Ring Shape + Style = Perfect Match And Fit
Keeping this simple formula in mind can be helpful. Just as when choosing earrings, you should consider these measurements before selecting the style and design you desire, as some ring designs don’t suit certain hand builds or shapes. This matters even more with the size of the pearl used in the ring. Smaller, slender hands should refrain from using or wearing burly ring designs with large pearls as central stones. Likewise, larger hands would have no problems wearing designs like these. Still, minimalistic or wispy designs might not have much impact.
For the luckier ones with longer fingers, most styles will suit these people well, and they will barely have a hard time choosing. They need to get the appropriate diameter.
Choose a suitable metal for your ring. The base material used for your ring also matters even more when getting rings for engagement or wedding purposes.
Health and hygienic concerns are also involved because some people’s skin might be irritated by certain metal types and should be avoided. We recommend purchasing rings and jewellery made of high-purity silver vs alloys containing nickel, as nickel is known to cause dermatitis or skin irritation.
If you find yourself drawn to cooler hues and shades, going with silver-toned metals such as platinum, white gold and silver, complimented with like-coloured pearls and stones such as diamonds or even sapphires, might be a good option.
For those who may prefer warmer palettes, gold and rose gold accompanied with exquisite gold south sea pearls and gemstones like rubies are perfectly appropriate.
Know Your Pearl Jewellery Dealer And Their Sources
Knowing where your pearls and other materials come from is essential in confirming the quality of the design. Additionally, working with a reputable artisan or pearl jewellery vendor is highly recommended.
