Abalone Pearl Pendant 12x9mm in 14K Yellow Gold with Diamond

An oval natural abalone pearl, 12 by 9mm, sits at the heart of this 14K yellow gold pendant, with a single diamond set above it as a bright accent. The pearl was gathered from wild abalone in the chilly Pacific waters off Mendocino, California, and abalone pearls rank among the rarest natural pearls there are. Each one carries its own swirling mix of blue, green and silver, shifting as it catches the light. That individuality means this abalone pearl pendant is one of a kind, shaped by hand in Richard Lewis’s California studio.

The diamond adds a crisp spark of white that lifts the pearl’s deeper ocean tones, while the yellow gold gives a warm, classic finish. Treat this organic gem kindly: abalone pearls are soft, so avoid perfume, hairspray and chemicals, skip ultrasonic cleaners entirely, and tuck the pendant away from harder stones so its surface stays unscratched.
