Estate beautiful mystery pearl ring

mystery pearl
A complete mystery to me, I found this pearl on ebay from an estate jewelry seller. It was love at first sight.
The ring is heavily made, and the gold work echos the imperfections in the pearl. The setting appears to be handmade. Some of the flower petals are smooth, and some made "baroque" to echo the pearl shape. In the light, the pearl has almost a metallic look and depth - a silver color, but then has a sheen of mauve and iridescent green
I wish I knew more about my mystery pearl ring. If you have a hunch to the type of pearl, I would love to hear it!
