Pléiade Pearl Ring

Sterling silver (925), plated in rhodium for a bright white finish, set with a 9 mm round freshwater pearl and clear pavé stones. That is the maker’s own specification, published as given. Every Amaurine piece names its metal, its finish and its stone on its own page, in the same words as our published standards.

Rhodium holds its white colour, and on this piece it is the surface: rhodium-plated sterling silver. The plating sits over the silver and shields it, so keep the surface and you keep the finish. Last on, first off; off before water; a soft dry cloth after wearing; its pouch between wears. Leave silver dips and polishing cloths for solid silver: they work by lifting a surface layer, and here that layer is the rhodium. Every finish is covered by our 12-month craftsmanship warranty.

One size. The Pléiade Pearl Ring is adjustable: the split shank eases open or closed by hand to fit, so adjust it gently, a little at a time, rather than in one movement. The face reads 17.5 mm across, so it wears large on the hand while the narrow shank keeps it balanced. If you sit between sizes elsewhere, this is the ring that does not ask you to choose. If you would like your size anyway, our ring size guide for Australia shows how to measure at home.

A dry, soft cloth, and nothing more. Silver dips, polishing cloths and abrasive creams are made to lift a surface layer, which on this piece is the rhodium you want to keep. If it needs more than a wipe: warm water, a drop of mild soap, then dry it completely. Last on, first off, and its own pouch between wears. The full routine is on our care page. The pearls are organic, so keep perfume, hairspray and cleaning products away from them: put the piece on last and take it off first, wipe the pearls with a soft damp cloth after wearing, and let them dry fully before they go away. Never use a silver dip or an ultrasonic cleaner on a pearl.
