Description from the seller
Enchanting and timeless Mabe pearl ring set in 925 silver plated with gold.
Unlike 'regular' cultured pearls, Mabe pearls originate as protrusions of the mollusk's inner nacre layer, caused by external parasites that irritate it. The mollusk, to protect itself, covers the foreign object with several layers of nacre, thus creating the so-called 'mother-of-pearl bubble'. Mabe pearls are therefore pearls formed inside the mollusk but at the edge of the shell and not in the body of the oyster.

Pearl 17.50 mm
