"Mossy" Large Teardrop Pendant in Yellow Gold with Tiny Frog on Moss Agate
About the Item
What to do with a little 14 karat frog that's been hopping around the store for so long no one remember where he came from?
Answer? Attach him to the kind of gemstone a frog will love: a big drop-shaped faceted cabochon of moss agate. This is a type of quartz with a white or clear body color, but shot through with fern-link green inclusions (mostly made out of manganese and something called hornblende, the description of which is so geoscience-y that we just don't want to go there).
This chubby little frog has diamond eyes (about 0.01 carats each) and that sweetly contented expression that makes frogs so lovable, despite the fact they live in swamps and don't really seem to be all that sociable toward humans. We can dream, can't we?
The stone is wrapped in a 14 karat gold frame made from a hand-sculpted wax mold by Eytan Brandes.
The bale, made from hand-pulled 14 karat gold wire that's been artfully banged about to match the gold frame, is big enough to accommodate most chain hardware, but we're including the pearl, gold and moss agate necklace* you see in the photos.
This necklace is 19" long and has freshwater "potato" pearls (oblong like rice pearls only nice and smooth) with stations of moss agate tube beads girded by 14 karat gold balls. This necklace was professionally strung to our specifications on mustard-colored thread with full knots. The closure is a 14 karat gold fluted ball clasp salvaged from another necklace; it's probably around 30 years old but has been thoroughly cleaned and works grand. This necklace is removable, so you can mix and match.

- "Mousies" Pendant Pair in Yellow Gold with Tahitian Pearls on Aquamarine ChainBy Eytan BrandesLocated in Sherman Oaks, CATwo fat little mice in 14 karat yellow gold with silver-blue Tahitian pearl bodies hang happily by their tails from a string of sparkling aquamarine beads. These mice are based on an antique silver charm that we've had in the store for a while. The silver version had a rock crystal bead for a body and no tail, but we thought he would be a great delivery system for pearls. The pearls are smallish Tahitians and in an unusual silver-blue shade you'd more likely associate with Akoya pearls. They're from our trusted pearl dealer, George Hajjar of Seven Seas Pearls with offices in Tokyo and Los Angeles. Mr. Hajjar deals only with saltwater pearls (Akoya, South Sea and Tahitian), and he only deals directly with the pearl farms, so we always know we're getting the real deal. The pearls are baroque in shape and measure 9mm and 11.3mm in diameter. They both show great color and luster, plus some natural flaws -- a few dents, lumps and bumps and a circle (on the larger pearl) but no off-color pits or dull spots. Their long wire tails form loops for hanging from a chain or cord. We think they look great with the aquamarine bead chain...Category
