Jewels: P E A R L S
'The tears of the gods'. A pearl is produced within the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusc. Just like the shell of a clam, a pearl is made up of calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, deposited in layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly round, but other shapes occur. The most valuable occur spontaneously in the wild ('natural pearls') but they are rare. Cultured (farmed) pearls are the majority of what is sold today. #Pearls #VonGiesbrechtJewels #ShaunaGiesbrecht

Custom Pearl ring with rubies and emeralds
This ring was a special order, designed to reflect a client’s specific list of criteria as a gift for his wife. Each color, shape and material used was chosen to symbolically celebrate elements of cultural significance for the couple. Pearls from Japan, a green and red color scheme, and a Jewish star were combined to create this token of their commitment to each other.
