Can't wait to see it!!I took a pearl and a gold chain to my jeweler and asked him to make me a floating pearl necklace. I’m sure he will need to google it! I’m waiting for a call to ask for details!
I realized I had all the materials to make one. After trying to drill a pearl and scratching the heck out of it, I gave up. Thus my trip to the jeweler. Lol
The pendant I've had for a few years. The earrings I just got this month from my friend, David Norman, an Australian wholesaler. Carved pearls have been around for a while.Have never seen a carved Tahitian!
I didn’t even notice the earrings until you said something...I was admiring the carved Tahitian pendant wondering how they do that!The pendant I've had for a few years.

It's all done by hand. There are people who specialize in carving pearls. David got me the earrings for me because I needed yellow gold since the pendant is in yellow gold. They're very green in orient & have wonderful luster. The carvings are different on each pearl.I didn’t even notice the earrings until you said something...I was admiring the carved Tahitian pendant wondering how they do that!
Truly magnificent!Headed to dinner wearing my new 12-16mm round Tahitian pastel strand I got for my birthday! Paired with diamond & platinum Tahitian drop earrings.View attachment 4476921
