Small freshwater pearls, creamy and soft, arranged in a V and set in dark electroformed copper. The combination is unexpected and exactly right. The warmth of the antique copper pulls the pearl's undertones toward ivory and gold, away from the cold of silver settings. This is a chevron ring that reads as both timeless and entirely current.

Pearl is associated with wisdom, purity, and emotional balance. It is the birthstone for June. Wear it when you want something elegant that doesn't try too hard.

Why Pearl

Freshwater pearls are grown in mussels in freshwater rivers and lakes, primarily in China. Unlike saltwater pearls, freshwater pearls are often cultivated without a bead nucleus, which means the pearl grows more organically and produces a slightly irregular, uniquely textured surface. No two pearls are identical. Pearl is the birthstone for June and has been used in jewelry for thousands of years across cultures. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful, organic material with a very long history.

Freshwater Pearl Chevron Ring: Materials & Specifications

  • Stone: Freshwater pearl, creamy white with natural surface variation. Stones arranged in a V-chevron shape.
  • Stone size: Approximately 3 to 5mm each
  • Stone count: Calibrated by ring size, typically 5 to 9 stones. Adjusted so the chevron arc sits flat and comfortable on the finger without wrapping into the finger gap. A size 7 typically carries 7 stones.
  • Setting: Smooth organic electroformed copper bezel, copper flows around each stone with no prongs
  • Metal: Electroformed copper with extremely dark oxidized antique finish, near-black patina in recessed areas with warm copper glints on raised surfaces
  • Band: Thin delicate electroformed copper band
  • Collection: Birthstone Chevron Ring Collection
  • Origin: Handcrafted in Santa Fe, New Mexico

How This Handmade Pearl Ring Is Made

Each pearl is hand-selected for surface quality and color before being set into an electroformed copper band built up around it through an electrolytic process. No casting, no molds. The copper grows directly around each pearl, creating a setting completely unique to each piece. The chevron shape is formed by hand, and the antique finish deepens the oxidation to bring out the electroformed texture.

A Note on Stone Variation

Freshwater pearls are organic and each piece will vary in surface texture, shape, and undertone. Your ring will be similar to the one shown but entirely one of a kind.

Care

Pearls are sensitive to acids, perfumes, and chemicals. Put this ring on last, after all lotions, perfumes, and hairspray. Wipe gently after wearing. Remove before swimming, bathing, or any activity involving water or chemicals. Store dry and separately from harder stones that could scratch the surface.

About Electroforming

Electroforming is an ancient technique reimagined for modern jewelry.
Copper molecules bond to each stone over several hours, creating organic textures and secure settings. Learn more about our process.

Each ring is electroformed in pure copper, a process that uses electricity to slowly grow metal over organic forms, stone, or wax-carved bases.
This ancient-meets-modern technique creates natural textures and one-of-a-kind variations — no two pieces will ever be the same.
All rings are nickel-free, can be sealed for daily wear, and finished by hand in our Santa Fe studio.

For centuries, copper has been worn as a grounding element — believed to balance energy, support circulation, and keep the wearer anchored in presence. It reminds us of our connection to the earth and our ability to return to stillness.

Care & Patina

Electroformed copper develops a natural patina over time — deepening into warm, earthy tones that tell the story of your wear.
To maintain brightness, polish gently with a soft cloth or a touch of lemon and salt.
To preserve the aged finish, simply wipe clean and store in a dry place.
Avoid wearing your jewelry while swimming, showering, or applying lotions, as moisture may alter the patina over time.

Copper Protection

Embrace the Patina

Some collectors love the rich, aged look that copper develops over time. This natural patina tells a story—of adventures taken, energies absorbed, and the passage of time. If you resonate with that earthy, vintage look, feel free to let your copper evolve organically.

Why add lacquer?

  • Slows the natural darkening (patina) of copper
  • Minimizes the chance of skin reactions
  • Keeps copper looking brighter for longer
  • Protects while preserving the earthy character of your jewelry

Details:

  • Optional upgrade available for $5
  • Applied directly to your copper ring, cuff, or bracelet before shipping
  • Clear finish — no change to the look or feel of your piece
