11.5 CT Round Pearl Round Ring in 18kt White Gold

David Stern Jewelers presents a sophisticated 11.5 CT Round Black Pearl Couture Ring set in premium 18kt white gold, a striking and elegant piece that showcases the exotic beauty of a substantial black pearl dramatically enhanced by sparkling diamonds. This exceptional creation features a magnificent round black pearl displaying lustrous black color with excellent surface quality, surrounded by 0.90 carats of brilliant round diamonds. According to the Gemological Institute of America, fine black pearls—particularly Tahitian pearls from French Polynesia—are among the most sought-after pearls in the world, prized for their natural dark colors ranging from charcoal to deep black with overtones of peacock green, purple, or silver.

The magnificent round black pearl represents substantial size and commanding presence. Pearls of this size with excellent surface quality and deep black color are increasingly rare and valuable. The International Gem Society explains that large black pearls with minimal surface blemishes command premium prices, as they represent the finest quality from limited harvests. The perfectly round shape is particularly prized, as truly spherical pearls are rarer than baroque or off-round shapes, representing less than 5% of pearl harvests.

This exceptional pearl is dramatically enhanced by 0.90 carats of round brilliant cut diamonds exhibiting H color and SI-1 clarity—substantial diamond content that creates spectacular surrounding brilliance. The H color grade falls within the “near colorless” range on the GIA diamond color grading scale, appearing virtually colorless when set in white gold. The SI-1 clarity provides eye-clean appearance with beautiful brilliance. Nearly a full carat of diamonds creates dramatic halo or accent setting that amplifies the pearl’s presence while creating stunning contrast between the dark pearl and brilliant white diamonds.

This Ring showcases the pearl’s Black color with Excellent clarity (surface quality). The “Excellent” designation indicates outstanding luster and minimal surface imperfections—the highest quality grade for pearls. The deep black color with its characteristic overtones creates sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic that stands apart from traditional white pearls. Black pearls have become increasingly popular for their bold, modern appeal and their ability to complement both casual and formal attire.

This Ring can be sized by David Stern Jewelers to ensure a perfect fit. Weighing 11.8 grams, the substantial construction is crafted in premium 18kt white gold, which contains 75% pure gold. According to the World Gold Council, 18kt white gold offers superior precious metal content and creates the perfect cool-toned backdrop for black pearls. The white gold and diamonds create maximum contrast with the dark pearl, making this sophisticated color combination particularly striking and contemporary.

Pearls require gentler care than gemstones—they should be protected from chemicals, perfumes, and hairsprays, and should be the last thing you put on and first thing you remove. Your appraisal includes detailed care instructions to preserve the pearl’s luster for generations.

This professional appraisal provides detailed documentation of specifications, pearl characteristics, and replacement value for insurance purposes. The GIA Graduate Gemologist credential represents the jewelry industry’s most respected gemological qualification.

This exceptional black pearl and diamond ring embodies contemporary sophistication with timeless elegance. The substantial black pearl with nearly a full carat of diamonds creates bold contrast and modern luxury.
