After visiting Tahiti, Shawn and Sara reached out to us to create a necklace using the loose black pearl they purchased while on vacation. Sara's design idea was to create a pendant encasing the pearl that struck a balance between the hard lines of geometric shapes like triangles with softer, free-flowing organic shapes. The result is this custom 14K white gold and diamond necklace that houses their Tahitian pearl memento right in the center.

After creating the finished necklace, Sara was kind enough to write about her experience:
"When we were thinking about how and what we could create with the Tahitian pearl I had, I just knew the one thing that I wanted was for it to be unique. I wanted it to be interesting and different, and Takayas made that happen. It was a pleasure working with him - the communication was great and it was very easy to be a part of the process as we went along. I felt comfortable making a few tweaks here and there in order to make it perfect. But it really was his creativity that made my vision come to life, and I absolutely love the necklace."
It was such a pleasure working with Sara and Shawn. We hope that this small piece of Tahiti brings them joy wherever their next set of travels take them!
