Pearl rings are usually crafted from one of four types of pearls: the timeless Akoya, affordable freshwater, luxurious South Sea or exotic Tahitian varieties.

Akoya is renowned for its almost perfect roundness and lustre and lovely range of colours including white cream and pink hues. Freshwater pearls can cover an array of shades like ivory lavender peach plus black too! Splendidly large with rich creamy colours, you'll find nothing quite as luxe as South Sea Pearls while unique blacks, greens, and grays are exclusive features found only on lustrous Tahitian pearl rings. Most of the pearls used at Nina's are Australia's own South Sea Pearls.

Pearls are natural gems, porous and exotic, and are not designed for everyday wear. They require extra TLC to keep your pearl ring looking beautiful for years to come. Check out our guide on jewellery care and learn how to care for cultured pearls.

A pearl ring can symbolise a deep love and commitment between two people, purity of innocence in an individual's life journey or wisdom gained through experience - all depending on its context and personal significance.

Definitely not. While pearl rings may be associated with more traditional or vintage styles, they can also be incorporated into more modern and trendy designs.
