Pearl of Paradise Ring

This ring's design makes the pearl look like it's floating. Instead of being set on top of the band, it's held in the space between the two open ends, creating a gap that makes you look twice.

This is an open ring made of polished 14-karat gold. The band splits into two fine, parallel wires that wrap around the finger without meeting. One end holds a single, round, white pearl. The other end terminates with a rectangular, baguette-cut zircon set horizontally. At the base of the ring, the shank has two small, open loops on either side, adding a small detail to the profile.

We build this ring from 14-karat solid gold, which is 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys. That composition is important for a ring, which means it has the hardness needed to hold its shape with daily wear. Solid gold won't flake or turn your skin a different colour. The pearl is a natural freshwater pearl, so each will have slight variations. The zircon is lab-grown and step-cut, giving it clean, geometric flashes of light that contrast the soft glow of the pearl.

Material: 14K Solid Gold
Gemstone 1: Natural Pearl
Gemstone 2: Baguette-cut Zircon
Sold as: Single Ring

You'll pick this ring for its architecture. It's not a simple band with a stone on top. The split shank and open-ended design create negative space on the finger. It's a different way to wear a pearl—less traditional, more focused on the interplay between the two different stones and the lines of the ring itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the open design of the Pearl of Paradise Ring get caught on clothing?

The open design is quite low-profile, so it's less likely to snag than a high-prong setting. However, like any ring, it can catch on knit fabrics or sweaters. We've smoothed all the edges, but it's always a good habit to be mindful when getting dressed or reaching into pockets.

Can I wear my 14k gold and pearl ring in the shower or while swimming?

No, you should remove the ring before showering, swimming, or washing your hands. While the 14k gold is durable, natural pearls are porous and can be damaged by water, soap, chlorine, and other chemicals. This exposure can cause the pearl's lustre to dull and its surface to degrade over time.

How do I know what size to get for an open ring like the Pearl of Paradise Ring?

You should order your usual ring size. While open rings have a little bit of flexibility, this one is not designed to be adjustable by bending. Forcing it could weaken the metal or the settings. We make it to a standard size to ensure it keeps its intended shape and structural integrity on your finger.

How do I start a return for my Pearl of Paradise Ring within the 30-day window?

To start a return, email us at returns@vanhess.ca within 30 days of receiving your ring. Please include your order number. We'll reply with a prepaid shipping label and instructions. The ring must be in its original, unworn condition to be eligible for a full refund.

How long does free shipping to the US usually take for a Vanhess ring?

Free shipping on qualifying orders typically takes 5 to 15 business days to reach addresses in the United States and Canada. For the UK and EU, it's also 5-15 business days. Please note these are estimates and can be affected by customs processing or postal service delays.
