Dolphin Design
The body of this pendant is in the outline of a dolphin, with its body curved to one side as if it had just leapt out of the water. It’s a simple outline with a few embellishments, including some intricate curves in the tail and a small circle for an eye. These touches give it a slightly whimsical quality and help it to stand out as unique despite the minimalist nature of the design.
Diamond Accents
Small round diamonds are bright cut set along parts of the middle of the dolphin outline, with a section running from the tip of the dorsal fin to the middle of the head, and another starting in the middle of the body and running up to the tip of a flipper. These bring wonderful sparkle to the piece, as well as an elegance that combines nicely with the lovely lines of the pendant overall. Pendants
Customization Options
Some ways to customize this piece include extending the diamonds to cover the entire top surface of the dolphin, and switching to a different type of gemstone such as a blue sapphire to replace the diamonds. Alternately, you could remove the accent diamonds all together and integrate only one to represent the dolphin’s eye. Or you could change the shape of the piece to that of an animal or symbol with special meaning to you while keeping other elements of the design intact.

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.
