This designer is known for using conventional materials in innovative ways, continually pushing the boundaries of fine jewelry design, and this piece is an excellent example of that. The organic themes running through it are hallmarks of Galatea jewelry as well, and we are proud of the long-standing relationship we have with this designer. Design Your Own Pendant
Carved Tahitian Pearl
The main body of this pendant is composed of a 10mm black Tahitian pearl, and it’s carved in an organic pattern made up of curving lines and teardrop shaped indentations. This creates a sense of something flowing down the pearl, a dynamic but gentle movement that references raindrops and running water.
Tahitian pearls are notable for their rich, black color, accented by hints of gold, pink, yellow and green. In the case of this piece, the carving helps highlight these accents, adding another dimension to the design. The large size of these pearls also makes them an excellent choice for a piece like this, as it allows space for the exquisite detail in the carving to be fully realized. Pendants
Pendant Design
The pearl is connected to the bail by a cap that extends across its top with small rounded protrusions. This detail adds to the organic style of the design, and it complements the carved pattern nicely.
Emerging from the top of this cap is a single loop of metal that the chain can pass through. This minimalist bail design helps keep the focus solidly on the pearl below, and it works well with the overall natural feel of the piece.
