Unique pearl rings are more attainable if you are willing to purchase an antique. Some of the most outstanding designs are the popular cluster designs which use pearls with odd shapes and even use the tiny seed pearl. Styles from the Victorian era and art deco are good choices for an engagement style ring if you would like something unusual.
A jewelry mall that deals in antiques is a good place to view rings like this, but since antiques are rarely found in mass quantities, the selection will be different day by day. It is not possible for them to keep a certain style is stock. You may be able to find a quad set of small pearls in fourteen carat gold created in a ballerina type design with leaves around it. A ring like this from the mid nineteen fifties can be found for under one thousand dollars. Another good buy would be an antique Victorian pearl ring from stores in other countries who carry selections of vintage European designs which are affordable and of good quality. These are a good purchase for someone ready to propose marriage or even for the discerning jewelry collector.
If you would like to find something that is very unusual and hard to find, look for the beautiful mother of pearl rings on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Ranging in price from just over four hundred dollars to just over eight hundred dollars, very exquisite pearl rings can be found here. Beautifully inlaid white gold that looks so sleek and new, the nacre with the high polish is set apart with diamonds that sparkle like stars. Pearl rings come in pink, flesh tones and lavender inlays and come with or without diamonds. Another choice you can make to purchase a ring totally your own is the way the ring wraps around your finger. It does not have to be the standard circle, but rather a ring that coils around the finger is strange new ways. These rings do not have to be antique today to be an heirloom tomorrow.
