ABOUT THE ITEM
Tridacna pearls are very rare, organic gems produced by the largest living bivalve mollusk from the Cardiidae family, known as the Tridacna gigas or Giant Clam.  Tridacna clams can be found in the shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific, inhabiting coral reefs.  They can live for up to 100 years, can grow as large as 4 feet across and weigh up to 440 pounds! Natural Tridacna pearls are known for their porcelaneous appearance, sometimes displaying beautiful flame patterning.

This magnificent, 1-of-a-kind ring features an 8.64 carat natural tridacna pearl set in a darkened platinum setting with 2.35 carats of pavé diamond accents.  Accompanied by GIA Pearl Identification Report.

Accompanied by GIA Pearl Identification Report #2201324708.
