Minimal and quietly luminous, Iris pairs a petite Japanese Akoya pearl with a slender band of light-catching accents. Its compact profile makes it easy to wear alone or stack.
The 8-9mm pearl size adds $50. All smaller listed pearl sizes are included in the selected quality price.
Where bright accent stones appear in the design, they are cubic zirconia rather than diamonds. Cubic zirconia is associated with clarity, light and focused intention.
Each cultured pearl is naturally formed, so subtle variations in shape, color, overtone and surface character make every ring individual.
