Huge Biwa Pearl Sterling Silver Flower Cocktail Ring / Israeli Artist - sz 7

Marked Sterling Silver 925 on inside of band. Ring is new and has not been worn. These are real Biwa pearls from Lake Biwa in Japan. I cannot insert a link to read about them here but you can Google Biwa Pearls and read about them. It is a fascinating story. Also, Lake Biwa in Japan is now severely threatened by pollution so, if pearls interest you, it is a good idea to acquire some soon.  This is an amazing and very large artistic rendition of a star or sea anemone by an Israeli artist who goes by the name Yehuda.  He had the most unusual and attractive designs - each a one of a kind creation inspired by the pearls he had to work with. There are no two alike. I think they look like mermaid's jewelry. This is definitely a "going out ring" or cocktail ring. It is meant to show off and call atttention to THE PIECE OF ART on your hand! So much fun! It is not really heavy - so will not weight you  down. And the ring is really well made, meant to last, as an heirloom. Very distinctive.  You need to be a bit careful of pearl jewelry. It should not be exposed to chemicals such as hand creams,  perfumes, or soaps. Those can damage and discolor the pearls. Thus someone should wash their hands  before wearing the ring and not apply hand lotion while wearing it. As I said it is a "going out" ring - meant for dressing up and showing off - not to wear while cooking, gardening, or other work.  This ring would make a perfect gift - for yourself or another special person.
