INFORMATION
About the abalone pearls
The abalone pearls have already been described by experts previously, among the most notable documents that we recommend reviewing about the most innovative and valued abalone pearls is the work published by Renee Newman (Exotic Gems, Volume 4. How to Identify, Evaluate and Select Jade & Abalone Pearls, 2016), said publication indicates:
- “Abalone pearls usually have unique baroque shapes which are sought after by designers, and their iridescent colors may be any combination or shade of green, blue, pink, purple, silver, or on rare occasions cream white. Blue and green are the most common colors. Their size can be as small as a tiny seed or as large as a 500 carat pearl.
- For instance, the abalone pearl collection of Wes and Tish Rankin started with the natural cornupia pearl founded in 1990 of 112.08 carats valuated in $144.000 USD.
- The American Indians, New Zealand Maoris and Asian Indians were the first known people to have used the abalone for jewelry, rather than only for its meat. According to Elisabeth Strack, author of Pearls, examples of abalone pearls from the 16″ century are probably still found today ni the collections of several Indian maharajas. Abalone pearls were not mentioned ni gemological literature until the 19″ century. It wasnt’ until about the 1990s that abalone pearls gained worldwide interest.
- Abalone fishing is highly regulated now because of declining supply.
- Most abalone pearls have baroque shapes like horns, teeth, trunks, half-moons, discs and buttons. Near round, oval and egg- shaped pearls are also available, but are usually smaller than 10mm Round pearls are valued the highest followed by symmetrical shapes.”

FAQ's
How do i determine my ring size?
To find your ring size, you can measure the circumference of your finger using a piece of string or a printable ring sizer. Another option is to visit a local jeweler who can measure your finger accurately. Keep in mind that fingers on your dominant hand might be slightly larger. If you’re between sizes, it’s often recommended to choose the larger size for comfort. Also, consider the width of the ring – wider bands may require a slightly larger size. If you’re buying a surprise gift, you can borrow one of the recipient’s rings and measure the inside diameter to determine the size. Remember that factors like temperature and time of day can affect finger size, so measure at different times to get a consistent result. Always refer to the specific sizing guidelines provided by the jeweler you’re purchasing from.
What materials are used in your jewelry?
Gold jewelry with diamond and abalone pearls combines exquisite materials to create stunning pieces. The use of noble materials elevates the elegance and value of these accessories.
Gold, with its radiant allure, symbolizes luxury and timelessness. Often available in various shades like yellow, white, and rose, it serves as a foundation for intricate designs. Its malleability allows artisans to craft intricate details that enhance the beauty of the piece.
Diamonds, renowned as the hardest natural substance, add brilliance and sophistication. Their exquisite sparkle is a testament to their rarity and enduring beauty. Set in gold, diamonds create captivating contrasts that draw attention and reflect light with dazzling allure.
Abalone pearls, prized for their iridescent and vibrant hues, lend a unique touch to the jewelry. Sourced from the sea, these pearls exhibit captivating colors that shift as light dances across them. Their organic elegance complements the refined nature of gold and diamonds, resulting in pieces that capture the essence of nature’s beauty.
Together, the noble trio of gold, diamond, and abalone pearls harmonize to form jewelry that embodies opulence, longevity, and the mesmerizing wonders of both the earth and the ocean.
Is your jewelry hypoallergenic?
Gold is often considered hypoallergenic due to its inert nature and minimal reactivity with the skin. Unlike other metals that can cause allergic reactions, gold rarely triggers allergic responses. This is primarily because gold is a noble metal, meaning it doesn’t easily corrode or react with environmental elements, moisture, or body chemistry. Allergic reactions to jewelry often result from contact with metals like nickel, which is a common allergen. When nickel or other reactive metals are used in jewelry, they can cause skin irritation and allergic dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
Gold’s hypoallergenic properties make it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or metal allergies. Jewelry made from pure gold (24 karat) or higher karat gold (18 karat and above) is less likely to cause allergic reactions. However, it’s important to note that some gold alloys, which combine gold with other metals for durability and color variation, might still contain trace amounts of allergenic metals like nickel. To ensure hypoallergenic jewelry, individuals with sensitivities should opt for high karat gold pieces or inquire about the specific composition of the gold alloy used in the jewelry.
