The gold band passes straight through the centre of the pearl, so there are no prongs or settings to catch on your clothes. It’s a really clean design that makes the pearl look like it's floating right on your finger.
This ring is built around a single, white freshwater pearl. The band is a very fine, round wire of 14k gold, polished so it reflects a thin line of light. Instead of sitting in a setting, the pearl is drilled through its centre, and the band runs directly through it. The look is spare and modern, with nothing to distract from the pearl itself.
We make this ring from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold. The rest is a mix of alloys that make the metal strong enough for a piece you'll wear often. Unlike plated jewellery, solid gold won't rub off or change colour over time. The pearl is a freshwater pearl, so it has a natural lustre and warmth. Because it’s a natural gem, no two are perfectly identical.
- Material: 14k solid gold

Most pearl rings use a cup or prongs to hold the gemstone. This one doesn't. By drilling the pearl and running the band through it, you get a profile that's incredibly low and smooth. It's a modern take on a classic piece, and it's less likely to snag than a traditional setting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the pearl on the Sole Pearl Ring spin around or is it fixed in place?
The pearl is fixed in place. While the band passes through the pearl, it's secured so it won't spin or slide around on the band. It will always sit centred on your finger.
Can I wear my 14k gold Sole Pearl Ring in the shower?
It’s best to take it off. The 14k gold band is fine with water, but repeated exposure to soaps, shampoos, and heat can damage the pearl's surface and weaken the adhesive over time. To keep the lustre, put it on after you've showered and applied any lotions.
How does the thin band on the Sole Pearl Ring affect sizing?
The thin band means the ring fits true to size. Unlike rings with very wide bands that can feel tighter, this one should fit exactly as you'd expect from your standard ring sizer. If you're between sizes, we generally suggest sizing up.
What happens if my Sole Pearl Ring doesn't fit?
