On this piece
A single great pearl, and the papers to prove it. This ring from Ming’s of Honolulu centers a magnificent 14mm Tahitian South Sea pearl — the large, naturally dark, iridescent pearl that takes years to grow and commands the highest prices in the pearl world — set in solid 18K white gold and ringed with over a carat of diamonds. Ming’s was Hawaii’s most storied jeweler, and this is the house working at the top of its range: not the delicate jade florals it’s best known for, but a serious fine-jewelry statement built around one exceptional pearl. It’s signed Ming’s and accompanied by a 1995 appraisal from Falconer Jewellers at the Peninsula Hotel valuing it at $4,500 — real documentation, the kind fine jewelry should carry. A 14mm Tahitian of this quality is a collector’s pearl, and in this setting, with this provenance, from this house, it’s a genuine treasure. Hawaii’s finest, at its most ambitious.
