Jay King — Black Mother of Pearl & Faceted Onyx Necklace

A stunning statement necklace from Jay King’s Mine Finds collection — featuring meticulously handcrafted, graduated spherical beads, each showcasing a brilliant mosaic tile inlay of iridescent black mother-of-pearl and abalone shell that offers a captivating, ever-shifting play of light with every movement. The graduated design transitions from large, commanding mosaic center beads to smaller, sleek black beads on the back half — a considered composition that flatters the neckline and ensures the piece drapes beautifully at any length. Adjustable up to 24 inches via an extender chain, signed with the DTR (Desert Rose Trading) hallmark, and stamped .925 on the sterling silver findings. Presented in the original Jay King “Mine Finds” black presentation box — gift-ready and collector-complete.

About Jay King & Mine Finds

Jay King is an American jewelry designer and gemologist whose Mine Finds collection has earned a devoted following among collectors of fine gemstone jewelry. King travels the world sourcing exceptional natural stones directly from mines and artisan cutters, bringing materials of unusual quality and rarity to his designs. His work is characterized by a deep respect for the natural beauty of the material: bold, generous forms, rich color, and settings that allow the stone to speak entirely for itself.

The pairing of black mother of pearl and abalone shell — two materials of entirely different optical character, both luminous and iridescent in their own distinct register — creates a mosaic of extraordinary depth and movement. Against the cool neutrality of sterling silver, the effect is at once dramatic and refined: a piece that commands attention in any light.
