Mikimoto Pearl in Sterling Silver Bypass Ring

A lambent Mikimoto cultured pearl sits at the center of swirling arms of sterling silver. This variation on the bypass ring has a cool elegance. The interior of the band bears the Mikimoto maker's mark. Circa 1950.

Pearls were first cultured in 1893 by Mikimoto. Cultured pearls are created by adding an irritant, such as a grain of sand or small bead, to a pearl oyster to encourage it to cover the irritant in nacre, thus creating a pearl.
