Black Mother of Pearl Butterfly Ring
Probably this, but without the diamonds.

Or, if you're for want of space, just
"Black Pearl Butterfly Ring".

Note from asker:
| You both were actually. There was no request for pronunciation help, and if you have a JE dictionary that lists 黒蝶真珠、you should probably start your own dictionary store. |

Black butterfly pearl
The first character (黒) is pronounced as 'koku' and it means 'black'. The second (蝶) is pronounced 'choo' (long 'o' sound) and it means 'butterfly'. The last two are pronounced as 'shin' (真) and 'ju' (珠) respectively and together they form the compound 真珠 'shinju' which means 'pearl'. HTH.

: Hey, Will. I don't which one of us was providing the "余計な情報" (probably both of us), but I do know that a certain ingrate should start using a basic J/E dictionary if he's so smart.
