Modern Pearl Rings for Your Jewelry Wish List

I got on a kick recently dreaming up what i could do with some treasured heirloom pieces. Who knew there was a whole industry dedicated to jewelry transformation? A few quick web searches turned up some experts in my own backyard, and a few jewelry stores and gemologists around the country that even seem to specialize in re-imagining your engagement ring, or a piece from your grandmother that’s just not getting as much wear as it could.

A trip east over 10 years ago allowed me to come home with some beautiful pearls that are truly special to me. But, as dangling little nubs on some silver threads, they’re just not fitting how my style and my accessories preferences have evolved over the years. Newly bent on thinking about how I could re-style them into something more exciting, I went searching for inspo. I found too much of it; you’re the beneficiary.

Also in the window shopping category, these tucked away baubles are so unique.

There is something so edgy and delicate about an uncut stone. The little gold anchor is a nice unexpected touch.
