True luxury adapts to the wearer. Historically, high jewelry was designed for singular, grand occasions, but modern bespoke design demands versatility without sacrificing opulence. At Stark Jewelers, we believe a true masterpiece should offer multiple ways to express your personal style. Our latest creation—a 14k White Gold Natural Diamond, Onyx, and Pearl Pendant designed and handcrafted by Larry Stark—is a testament to this philosophy through its ingenious modular construction.
Engineering the Two-Part Design
The brilliance of this piece lies in its hidden mechanics. The pendant is composed of two distinct sections connected by a precision-engineered catch mechanism.
The top section serves as the anchor. Featuring a brilliantly diamond-set bail, it boasts an impressive array of round brilliant diamonds, including a stunning 0.88-carat bezel-set center stone, all framing a custom-cut 13.3x18 mm Onyx and two exquisite Tahitian pearls. Worn independently, this top section is a bold, elegant statement piece perfect for evening galas or sophisticated daytime events.
Seamless Transformation
When the occasion calls for unparalleled drama, the bottom section is seamlessly added. Utilizing a secure, handcrafted catch mechanism, the bottom tier drops down to introduce a 12x16 mm Onyx, a magnificent 12mm White South Sea Pearl, and perfectly matched Akoya pearls, surrounded by an additional 1.40 carats of pave-set diamonds. This transformation turns an already stunning pendant into a breathtaking, cascading work of art, offering two completely unique silhouettes in one unified design.
