Before you choose
How to choose a necklace
Length is the whole look
16 inches sits at the collarbone, 18 at the first button, 20 and up reads as a layer. Measure a chain you already love.
One pendant or a layer
A single stone on a fine chain works every day; layers want mixed lengths two inches apart so they never tangle.
Chain gauge matters more than metal
Under 1.2 mm kinks with daily wear. Ours start at 1.4 mm for anything carrying a stone.
Clasps are a daily ritual
Lobster clasps for security, slider bolos for one-handed dressing. We fit either at the same price.
The short answer
Tahitian pearl necklaces at Made With Color: 2 one of a kind works from $1,480 to $2,400, each built around a stone chosen loose, in daylight, in New York. Gunmetal and peacock pearls from black lipped oysters. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words.
About tahitian pearl
Gunmetal and peacock pearls from black lipped oysters. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
CHOOSING THE STONE
Start with hardness
Tahitian pearl is 3 / 10 on the Mohs scale. For daily rings, choose a bezel or low prongs; for earrings and pendants, wear it freely.
Fit before beauty
16 inches sits at the collarbone, 18 at the first button, 20 and up reads as a layer.
Then the look
Choose the chain length before the pendant. Measure a chain already loved.

Prices are per work, as of 16 Aug 2026, and move with the stone, never with a formula. Each piece is one of a kind.
Is tahitian pearl good for necklaces?
Tahitian pearl is 3 / 10 on the Mohs scale. Pendants swing free of hard knocks, which makes them the right home for softer stones.
Which birthstone is tahitian pearl?
Tahitian pearl is the Jun birthstone and the traditional stone of the 30th anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Are these stones treated?
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
How much do tahitian pearl necklaces cost?
Today, $1,480 to $2,400 across 2 works, most near $2,400. Each is one of a kind, so the page moves as stones sell and new ones are set.
How long until it arrives?
Ready-now works leave the studio within two business days, insured and signed for. Made to order pieces state their bench time on the page, most within three to four weeks.
What if it does not suit?
Thirty days from delivery, in original condition, in the slate box. Resizing is free for life on rings, and any stone we set can be reset into a new mount as taste changes.
