The timeless styling of a pearl ring.

Pearls have been used in jewelry for many hundreds of years. Good quality pearls are highly prized and are often featured in top of the range jewelry items. Pearls can be incorporated into many forms of jewelry including pearl rings.

Pearl rings are formed from both silver and gold. The choice of metal is very much down to individual preference as pearls look equally stunning when combined with the cool white of silver and white gold as they do when matched with warm yellow gold.

There are many different types of pearl rings available. The range of pearl rings includes:

One of the best ways of showing off a high quality pearl is in a simple yet classic ring band. This allows the natural beauty of the pearl to stand out without other stones or adornments detracting from the pearl's quality. Pearls are set either deeply into a setting or set proud, to emphasize the pearl shape.

A traditional form of pearl ring is the pearl cluster. This is formed from lots of small pearls that are set together to make a dramatic centerpiece for a ring. This type of ring is available in both contemporary and traditional styles. Pearl cluster rings often include other gemstones such as diamonds or sapphires and these bring a touch of added sparkle.

Pearls are often set along side other gemstones in rings. One popular style is a pearl that is set in the center of two colored gemstones. This makes a pretty ring that is suitable for many occasions.

Small pearls are also often used in eternity and eternity type rings. The small pearls are set into a band that wraps the entire finger. These are sometimes interspersed with other gemstones.

One of the beauties of pearl rings is that they are available in both contemporary and traditional styles meaning that there is bound to be a ring to suit every taste. Many contemporary styles are interesting twists on traditional styles. Designer and artisan jewelers often work with pearls and create a range of unusual designs that will appeal to people looking for something a little different.

Many contemporary pearl rings use pearls that are colored or unusual shapes. Whereas at one time a colored pearl was considered inferior, now they are highly sought after and make an interesting alternative.

Here are some tips for buying pearl rings:

• Set a budget before starting to look for rings. It is very easy to get carried away when shopping and spend more than planned.
• Decide how the ring is to be worn, for example, will it be worn every day or just for special occasions. This will help to determine the most suitable style and design. The jeweler will be able to give advice on the best type of ring for a particular lifestyle.
• Shop around and look for not only the best buy, but also look for a jeweler who is experienced in dealing and working with pearls. Pearls are different to other gemstones and some specialist knowledge is required.
• Wear other jewelry when shopping for a pearl ring so you can see how the ring will look when teamed with other pieces of jewelry. Will a delicate pearl ring, for instance, get overshadowed by a large dress ring that is worn everyday?

A pearl ring will give many years of pleasure and in time will become a lovely family heirloom. Spending a little time buying the perfect ring now will ensure that the ring is enjoyed by generations to come.
