Description
Embrace a sleek, avant-garde aesthetic with this minimalist Tahitian pearl pendant necklace. Handcrafted for Holly Zhang Pearl Gallery, this contemporary 16-inch necklace pairs an innovative, clean white designer cord with a substantial, investment-grade 11.5mm Tahitian saltwater cultured pearl centerpiece.
Suspended from a brilliant 14K yellow gold bail, the dramatic black pearl creates a striking visual statement floating against the stark white band. The pearl showcases an exceptional mirror-like luster with shifting natural green, silver, or peacock overtones—perfect for those who appreciate an art-forward, clean, and modern jewelry style.

Frequently asked questions
Is my piece ready to ship or made to order?
Each product page says which. A piece marked “In stock, ready to ship” is on our shelf and leaves the gallery within 1 to 3 business days. A piece marked “Made to order” is chosen and strung for you once you order and ships in 3 to 4 weeks. Bespoke designs from a custom consultation follow their own timeline, typically 4 to 6 weeks.
How long will my order take to process and arrive?
Pieces in stock are typically processed within 1 to 3 business days; made-to-order pieces ship in 3 to 4 weeks. Standard domestic shipping takes 5 to 7 business days following dispatch. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.
Do your pearl items come with a certificate?
A certificate is not included in the price. For pearl pieces you can add one, issued by an independent gemological laboratory, for $110. It documents the type, size, color, luster and surface of the pearls in your piece. Tick “Add a lab certificate” on the product page, or ask when you order. Pieces without pearls, such as gemstone strands, do not qualify. Our AA+ to AAAA grades are our own; the laboratory report is separate from them.
What is your return and exchange policy?
Unworn pieces in their original packaging can come back for a full refund to your original payment within 14 days of receiving your order, or for full store credit within 30 days. To start a return, contact the gallery or bring the piece to our Bellevue gallery. Custom and altered pieces are final sale.
The full terms are in our refund policy.
How should I clean and care for my pearl jewelry?
Remember the rule: “Pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.” Keep them away from perfume, hairspray, and household chemicals. Wipe them gently with a soft microfiber cloth after each wear. Never submerge pearls in ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemical dips.
