    Default High quality settings with Tahitian pearls?

    On my wishlist is a pair of Tahitian pearl drop earrings and a pendant. I have found earrings that I like, but I am having trouble finding a pendant with a substantial and high quality setting in white gold, preferably 18k. I don't mind a small diamond, but I don't want a super dressy piece as I'd like to be able to wear it with more casual clothes.

    Any recommendations?

    For starters, we need to know a little about the earrings, as I presume you would like the pendant to match as closely as possible. If you could tell us the size, color, overtone, findings, etc. or better yet post a picture, then I'm sure you'll get some help.

    Well, the earrings are pretty simple. They actually have a matching pendant, but it has a very small bail which looks a little too small for a Tahitian pearl, at least to me.

    But I am not stuck on those earrings. I just wanted ones that were not too dressy.

    I have seen some pendants that match those earrings at:

    However if you find the bail too small, you might like the finding at:

    Thanks for looking, Nathan! Yes, you found the matching pendant that I was referring to above. The Overstock link has a couple that are possibilities, except I really would be afraid to order a Tahitian where I couldn't specify overtone and quality. They have some amazing prices, though!
