Biwa Freshwater Cultured Pearl and Diamond Bypass Cocktail Ring

This is a statement cocktail ring featuring two large, rectangular Biwa-style freshwater cultured pearls in a bypass setting. The pearls exhibit an iridescent white to creamy-pink luster with characteristic organic, uneven surfaces typical of high-quality freshwater cultivation. The pearls are bezel-set within yellow gold-toned metal, which appears to be polished 14k or 18k yellow gold based on the craftsmanship. Separating and flanking the two larger pearl settings are two arced channels of five small, round brilliant-cut diamonds (ten diamonds total) which serve as brilliant accents to the creamy nacre of the pearls. The ring's band is a wide, sturdy shank with ribbed or scalloped detailing on the exterior edges of the bezel, adding a textural contrast to the smooth metal and organic pearl faces. The condition of the item appears excellent with minimal surface scratches on the metal, no visible loss of nacre on the pearls, and all accent diamonds securely in place. The bypass silhouette and use of Biwa pearls suggest a manufacture date between the late 1980s and early 2000s, reflecting a bold, contemporary aesthetic focused on organic forms and luxurious materials.
