Carved Turquoise Tahitian Pearl And Diamond Pendant
Item #102573Pendant Description
As this piece demonstrates, Galatea designs continually push the limits of what’s possible in fine jewelry creation. They incorporate light and natural themes through innovative uses of conventional materials, and they’re notable for their creativity.
Carved Tahitian Pearl
A large Tahitian pearl makes up the main body of this pendant, and its rich black color produces a striking contrast with the other elements included in the design. The pearl is carved in an organic style, with a circular depression in the center of the front and swirling teardrop-shaped depressions extending out from the circle to wrap around the sides of the pearl. This gives the pendant a dynamic quality when viewed straight on from the front, and it contributes to the overall natural feel of the piece as well. Pendants
Diamond and Turquoise
At the center of the circular depression, a 0.04 carat round diamond is bezel set, and the metal lines the angled sides of the depression as well. The shiny surface of the metal serves to reflect more light down onto the diamond, and its highly polished surface also helps intensify the brilliance of the stone.
Each of the teardrop-shaped sections holds an inlay of turquoise, which adds a dynamic contrast to the piece. The turquoise also helps to clarify the carved design, as it stands out dramatically next to the rich, dark surface of the pearl. A hole located just above the middle of the pearl allows the chain to pass straight through the pendant, eliminating the need for a separate bale and ensuring that the pearl is oriented properly at all times. 100% Satisfaction

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.
