14k Yellow Gold Tahitian Carved Pear And Diamond Pendant
Item #103249Pendant Description
Both of these are part of the Galatea collection we carry in our Bellevue, WA showroom, and you can stop by to view or try on these and similar pieces any time. This designer is known for utilizing traditional materials in new and creative ways, and their pieces often make use of light to highlight the natural beauty of the materials and to explore organic themes.
Carved Pearl
The main portion of this pendant is made from a large, black Tahitian pearl, with a pattern of overlapping leaves carved into it on all sides. The detail here is exquisite, with deeper grooves outlining the leaves themselves, while smaller grooves provide texture within each leaf. The pattern at once evokes organic overtones while simultaneously highlighting the symmetry and geometric beauty found in nature. Pendants
Bale Design and Diamond Accent
The sleek bale connects to the top of the pearl directly, with rounded arms branching out slightly as they reach the pearl’s surface. From this contact point, the metal tapers quickly before opening out again to form the bale and connect to the chain. At the narrowest point of the metal, a single round 0.03 carat diamond is flush set, and its brilliant white sparkle adds a striking elegance to the piece.
The use of the diamond is also an interesting counterpoint to the large, dark pearl below. Tahitian pearls are known for their rich, black color as well as for their large size, and the multiple layers of contrast between the two main elements of the piece makes for a truly dynamic display.
Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
