A closed ring in 18K yellow gold, built around a single silvery-white Baroque Keshi pearl. The whole piece measures about 30 x 40 mm.

I began with the pearl and asked what it would have become had it stayed in the shell a few more years. The ring is that answer. The gold continues the pearl's own curves and wraps it on both sides, sculpted by hand in wax and then cast. Keshi pearls grow without a nucleus, so no two share the same form.

The finish is matte, with polished veins that follow the form and lift its three dimensional shape, so the pearl and the gold read as one piece. Worn, it sits on the hand as a small sculpture rather than a setting.

The matte comes last. Many makers use a matte finish to hide flaws, so I do the opposite: the whole ring is first polished to a full shine, where any casting pore or imperfection shows. Only when the gold is clean do I apply the matte finish.
