Designed and curated by fine jewelry designer Amy Certilman, The Perfect Setting's pearl jewelry collection brings together the world's most prized cultured pearls with exceptional diamond and gold craftsmanship. Available in ready-to-wear, semi-custom, and fully custom designs.
Exceptional Quality Across All Pearl Types
Whether you're drawn to the classic elegance of Akoya pearls, the exotic beauty of Tahitian pearls, the rare luxury of South Sea pearls, or the versatile charm of freshwater pearls, our expertise ensures exceptional quality across every type. Each pearl is evaluated for the characteristics that matter most—luster, surface quality, color consistency, and overall beauty.
Custom Pearl Jewelry
Many of these designs were commissioned as new or restyled using existing unworn pearls mostly on strands. All can be customized or recreated with your pearls or with different pearl types and sizes. If you love a piece but want to adjust the pearl selection, metal type, clasp style, or length, we can create a custom version tailored to your preferences. We also offer jewelry box evaluations to help you discover and repurpose unworn pieces.

Not at all — the majority of our clients work with us remotely from across the country. The entire custom jewelry process, from initial consultation to final approval, can be done via phone or video call. Finished pieces are shipped securely and fully insured. Distance has never been a barrier to creating something extraordinary together.
Semi-custom starts from an existing design with targeted modifications — changing the metal, adjusting proportions, or swapping a stone. Fully custom begins from scratch with an original design created just for you. Amy will help you determine which approach fits your vision and budget.
Absolutely — Amy welcomes heirloom stones and can design an entirely new piece around them. She has extensive experience resetting inherited diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and pearls into contemporary settings.
Most fully custom pieces are completed within 4–6 weeks depending on complexity. Rush timelines may be available for special occasions. Semi-custom modifications on existing designs can often be completed more quickly.
Custom pieces typically start around $2,500 and range upward depending on design complexity, metal choice, and stone selection. Lab-grown diamonds offer a more accessible price point without compromising quality. Amy works with a wide range of budgets and is always transparent about costs before any work begins.
It begins with a complimentary consultation where you share your vision, inspiration, and budget. Amy then develops the design concept, guides you through stone and metal selection, and oversees production from start to finish. You're involved at every stage with approvals before anything is finalized.
