Tahitian Pearl Pendant with 18k White Gold and Cognac Diamonds

A study in depth, color, and contrast—this Tahitian pearl pendant in 18k white gold is anything but ordinary. Designed and handcrafted in our Midtown Greenville shop + studio, this one-of-a-kind pendant features a luminous 14.44mm brown Tahitian pearl with rich grey undertones, perfectly paired with the warmth of cognac diamonds. With 0.71 total carat weight in natural diamonds, the result is a striking and sophisticated Tahitian pearl pendant that carries presence and poise.

This pendant is designed for collectors who want something distinctive. The bold scale of the pearl, paired with the unusual diamond color palette, brings balance—earthy and luxe, bold yet timeless. The 18k white gold setting enhances the cool hues of the pearl while also offering a clean, structured silhouette.

It’s a piece that speaks to those who want more than just a classic Tahitian pearl pendant necklace—they want story, artistry, and a wearable form of expression.

A Deeper Look at the Materials

Brown Tahitian Pearl

Sourced from the warm waters of French Polynesia, the pearl's dark grey-brown tone is naturally occurring and rare. Unlike standard black pearls, this brown Tahitian pearl has a subtler glow and reflects light with a mysterious, moody sheen. It’s polished but organic, grounding but glamorous.

18k White Gold Setting

The pearl is suspended from an 18k white gold Tahitian pearl pendant setting—cool in tone but sturdy and sculptural. The white gold serves as a modern contrast to the warm cognac diamonds, making this piece versatile for pairing with both silver and yellow gold jewelry.

Cognac Diamonds

Richer than champagne and softer than chocolate, the 0.71 ctw of cognac diamonds adds nuance and understated brilliance. Each diamond is hand-selected and precisely set to complement the body and color of the pearl.

A Pendant Made for Personal Style

This pendant stands on its own—no chain included—so you can style it your way. Thread it onto a sleek white gold chain for a contemporary look, or pair it with a yellow gold strand for mixed-metal contrast. Its size, craftsmanship, and color palette give it a quiet authority that works equally well layered or solo.

This piece isn’t shy. It was designed for clients who want to express individuality with polish and power. Clients who already know that Tahitian pearl pendants aren’t just about tradition—they’re about making a statement.
