PANDORA Fine Pearl Rings
Founded by a Danish goldsmith in 1982, PANDORA produces designer necklaces, earrings, bracelets, watches, and rings. The smooth luster of pearls is attractive whether the pearls are featured as a single gem or a cluster of smaller gems in a ring design. Depending on the style, the piece can serve as an understated ring or a bold accent piece.

How do you find your size for a ring?
To make sure the jewelry fits around your finger, you will need to find the size for the finger you plan on wearing the jewelry on. You can find this by wrapping a piece of string around your finger and then straightening the string and measuring it with a ruler. Once you have the measurement for your finger, compare it to this chart:
- 3/5 of an inch: This is a United States 4 or European 45.
- 5/8 of an inch: Those with this measurement are a U.S. 5 or European 50.
- 21/32 of an inch: This measurement means your finger is a U.S. 6 or European 52.
- 11/16 of an inch: This is a U.S. size 7 or European 54.
- 23/32 of an inch: This measurement is a U.S. size 8 or European 57.
- 3/4 of an inch: Those with this measurement are a U.S. size 9 or European 60.
- 25/32 of an inch: This means you are a U.S. size 10 or European 62.
What metals does PANDORA use for their rings?
When you buy a ring from the brand, the gemstone may be set in one of the following metals:
- Gold: 14-karat gold is a mix of gold and other metals that add strength to the soft metal.
- Silver: Sterling silver is a cool toned metal with a grayish color and a high shine.
- Plated: Plated jewelry has a layer of yellow gold, rose gold, or sterling silver over a layer of a more affordable metal.
How do you clean a pearl ring?
Grime, dust, and oil can diminish the glow and sparkle of your jewelry. Follow these steps to make your jewelry look nice and clean.
- Clean the pearl carefully: Pearls are more fragile than other gemstones, so avoid abrasive cleaners, ultrasonic cleaners, harsh soaps, or ammonia solutions. You can make your jewelry shine by gently rubbing it with a soft cloth coated in mild soap and water.
- Remove tarnish from the silver or gold: Cleaners for sterling silver and other metals can damage the gemstone. Use a small brush to clean the metal without getting the cleaner on the gem itself.
- Dry thoroughly: Avoid leaving your jewelry sitting in water. Dry them with a soft rag instead of letting them air dry.
