Ring story · Pearl
A pearl with
a sense of fun.
The Large Candy Button Mabe Pearl Ring by Stephanie Gottlieb centres a luminous 12mm Mabe pearl in a smooth gold button bezel, ringed by a delicate halo of diamonds. Playful yet polished, sculptural yet timeless — a pearl cocktail ring that brings personality and glow to any hand.
Who she is
A ring for a woman who
loves polished, playful glamour.
This is for someone who adores the classic elegance of pearls but wants them delivered with a wink — bold, sculptural, and fun rather than demure. She loves a statement piece, appreciates fine craftsmanship, and enjoys jewellery with real personality. Confident, joyful, and effortlessly chic, with a soft spot for timeless beauty worn a fresh way.
Classic beauty with a fresh twist — whimsy and sophistication, glowing on the hand.
It’s made for the woman drawn to vintage and modern design — a bold cocktail ring, a special-occasion statement, or an elevated everyday piece to layer with fine gold bands.
What sets it apart
Three things that make it
joyfully special.
01
A large 12mm Mabe pearl
At the centre sits a luminous 12mm Mabe pearl — a domed, half-round pearl with a beautiful smooth glow. Its generous size and soft lustre give the ring real presence, while the rounded “candy button” shape is what makes it feel playful rather than formal. It’s a fresh, joyful take on the timeless elegance of pearls.
The finishing touch
A halo of 0.21ct diamonds rings the pearl — enhancing its natural glow with soft sparkle, without ever overpowering it.
02
A delicate diamond halo
A halo of 0.21 carats of diamonds surrounds the pearl in a fine gold button bezel, adding refined sparkle around the soft glow. The halo lifts the whole design from sweet to sophisticated — the diamonds catch the light while the pearl stays the star. It’s the balance of whimsy and elegance that defines the piece.
03
Sculptural gold, heirloom quality
Set in solid yellow gold with a smooth, rounded, sculptural silhouette, the ring is made with heirloom-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. The bold button shape feels modern and architectural, while the pearl-and-gold pairing stays timeless. It’s a statement piece built to last and to be treasured — polish and personality in one.

In real life
A statement piece,
made to enjoy.
This is a joyful cocktail ring designed to be worn and noticed — bold on the hand but polished enough to dress up or down. One honest note on pearls: they’re softer than gemstones and diamonds, so they reward a little care — best kept from knocks, lotions, and perfumes, put on after fragrance, and wiped gently after wear to keep the lustre. Treated kindly, a good Mabe pearl lasts beautifully. The diamond halo and solid gold add durability and polish. A characterful piece you’ll reach for whenever you want a little glow.
Common questions
FAQ — what people
actually ask.
What is a Mabe pearl?
A Mabe pearl is a domed, half-round pearl that grows against the inside of a shell, giving it a flat back and a beautifully rounded, lustrous top. Its shape makes it perfect for a bold ring like this — big presence and smooth glow — and its generous size is a large part of the “candy button” charm.
Can a pearl ring be an engagement ring?
It can — for someone who wants something classic yet unconventional and deeply personal. Pearls symbolise purity and timeless love, and a diamond halo adds sparkle and durability. It’s an unexpected, elegant alternative to a traditional diamond, though because pearls are soft it’s worth treating it with a little extra care as an everyday ring.
How do I care for a pearl ring?
Pearls are softer than gemstones, so keep the ring away from knocks, and from lotions and perfumes — put it on after fragrance, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth after wear. Store it separately from harder jewellery. With that simple care, a quality Mabe pearl keeps its glow beautifully for years.
Is this an everyday ring or an occasion ring?
Both, with a little thought. It’s bold enough to be a standout cocktail and special-occasion ring, but polished enough for elevated everyday wear and lovely layered with fine gold bands. Given pearls need gentle handling, many people wear it for dressier days and moments rather than the roughest hands-on tasks.
