The body color of this huge Ethiopian opal is sort of a pastel orange, but green, yellow and red flashes abound. The entire effect changes in every lighting situation. Even in indirect natural light, when some orange opals tend to look soupy, this stone takes on a gorgeous moire sheen. Eytan Brandes bezel-set the stone in a heavy, bold solitaire -- over twenty grams of rich, unmistakable 18 karat gold -- with a beautiful satin finish. (Nice detail: the bezel's rim and the ring's interior are high-polish.) This ring is a size 8; resizing is complimentary for full-price buyers within a range of 6.5 to 9.5. Please contact us if you have resizing requirements outside of this range. Weights and Measurements: Opal Dimensions: 28mm long x 19.4mm wide x 14.3mm deep Opal Weight: 35.7 carats Ring Weight: 29.4 grams Face Height: 30mm (1.2") Face Width: 22mm (0.9") Band Width: 4.5mm Band Thickness: 2mm Note: Opals are difficult to photograph! The color shown in the main photo best captures this stone's true body color. Also note: Ethiopian opals are more porous than those from Australia or Brazil, so it's important that this ring be treated with care as a cocktail ring rather than as an everyday ring. While exposing the ring to water is not going to damage it (as long as you dry it off), this isn't a ring to wear while doing dishes...

Two opals -- one a lively precious white opal, and the other a stormy dark blue boulder opal -- both broken. What to do?

This lustrous white South Sea baroque pearl is set in a Byzantine-flavored, satiny 18 karat yellow gold two-part pedant handmade in our shop by Eytan Brandes.

The cap is linked to a nicely oversized bale that will accommodate just about any chain or cord. We think it looks great with the rhodolite necklace...

Eytan Brandes designed this ring using various elements he likes from Edwardian engagement rings, such as the carinated shank, the coin-edged pavé setting plates, and the elevated, almost bombé face. This is the second time he has used this mounting, and this is the first time he's set it entirely in diamonds. The center prong-set diamond is a clean and beautiful brilliant cut round stone weighing 1.03 carats. The prongs rise from a band (not actually a bezel) around the stone, minimizing the prongy effect, and keeping the stone's elevation at a graceful minimum. The dramatically curved face of the mounting is made up of little coin-edged plates, joined from below. Each plate hosts between one and five stones meticulously set by our best gem-setter. The little banner-shaped plates around the center stone give it a whimsical eight-pointed star halo, while the long plates...

Story time! Eytan Brandes was asked to make an engagement ring with a bulgy band and a setting for a nice two carat diamond. When the ring came back from the caster, the band was about half as thick as the band he'd designed. This kind of thing happens occasionally; usually the undersized, or oversized, or upside-down, or backwards, or misspelled, or otherwise misbegotten bauble just goes into the melting pot and we all move on. In this case, however, Eytan liked the ring's frankly unbalanced look -- its giant center basket hovering over the whisper-thin band. It doesn't work as an engagement ring, but it makes for a cool solitaire. He therefore set the band with ten itty-bitty diamonds and, for the center, he set a delicious, richly hued rhodolite garnet. The diamonds are natural (earth-mined), untreated little brightlings -- G-H color and VS1-2 clarity. They're full-cut and set in little raised pits spaced evenly across the front half of the ring; discreet prongs hold the stones in place. The stone basket in the center of the ring is cleverly formed by the four triple prongs that reach up from the bottom of the basket to grab the four corners of the center stone -- a gorgeous rhodolite garnet in deep red with chocolatey undertones and flashes of pink. It's nicely cut with a huge table and a modified Swiss-cut pavilion. We like the way the ring looks on its own, but we also like it beefed up a bit, so we're including two twisty bands that stack nicely with the garnet -- giving the wearer either option. Eytan made these bands ages ago; they were just sitting in the safe until The Boss realized they'd make a great set with his garnet ring. And they lived happily ever after! Measurements & Details: Size: Currently a size 5.5, we will resize all three rings at no charge for full-price buyers. Resizing is otherwise negotiable. Gold: The garnet ring is 14 karat gold. The twisty bands are 18 karat...

These simple, elegant wire drop earrings by Eytan Brandes feature two Tahitian pearls that Eytan purchased in Tahiti several years ago. They are absolutely beautiful, very dark, very rich green shimmering with blue and purple undertones. The surfaces show only a few small pits, as shown in our video. Hand-picked by Eytan from hundreds of different options, this pair is a good, but not cookie-cutter perfect, match. One pearl is slightly larger and slightly darker than the other. The shepherds hooks...

This fabulous and absolutely one-of-a-kind pendant is an assembled piece showcasing some sort of winged insect (a mayfly?) in 14 karat rose gold with bright ruby eyes and white gold wings set with six very old diamonds.

Four different components came together to make this sexy 14 karat yellow gold chain. The curb chain itself is standard jeweler's inventory that's been kicking around the store for a few years. Eytan Brandes removed the lobster clasp and added the toggle, which is newly cast from an antique silver toggle. For the end ring, he pried one of the rings off of a boring brooch -- one of those pins where a cluster of rings makes a kind of wreath. The ring looks great -- it's thick and has squared edges -- but it's hollow and too lightweight to stand up to the solid toggle. (Strangulation alert!) Rather than lose the ring, Eytan decided to add some weight. The tassel -- from his mysterious pile of 1950's gold tassels acquired several years ago -- is his happy solution. It moves freely from a large matching bale and is the perfect finishing touch! Measurements: Chain length (including the end ring): 19" Tassel length (including bale): 2" Chain thickness: 1.4mm Chain width: 3mm Marks: The original chain plate has been left in place (you can see in the photos that it's like a little added link...
