Ok, I'm very impressed, and I'm totally sold on big pearls in a ring! Nicely photographed, way to go!
I'm still not sure why folks think pearls are fragile...admittedly, the ones I wear on my wrist are CFW, but they get no special gentle treatment and are holding up really well. Perhaps the bead nucleated pearls are more vulnerable to chipping?
Have you folks with the big pearl rings ever given us updates on how they're wearing? Are they holding up well?
