"Vectra" Earrings with Ethiopian Black Opals, Diamonds & Tsavorites in 18K Gold
About the Item
A brand new design by Eytan Brandes, his "Vectra" earrings are strands of gold, twisting and turning, but just as they're about to head off in three different directions, they're stopped in their tracks by some very interesting gemstones.
The gorgeous Ethiopian pear-shaped opals are obviously the main event. They're fraternal twins, being the same size and shape but otherwise distinctly different. One opal is more streaky, more blue (though an eerie shade of watermelon pink in certain lights, as shown in our photos), and more subtle, while the other is darker and more of the electric confetti variety. But since they're opals, they will always surprise you with new colors and flashes with every move and each change of lighting.
The 0.15 carat bezel-set diamonds are both natural (i.e., earth-mined) and untreated, brilliant cut rounds -- our supplier grades them G-H color and VS1-2 clarity and Eytan concurs: these are clean, white, sparkly little devils set in open-bezels to allow plenty of light to dance through them.
Finally, the "arrow" strand ends in a point that's pavé-set with ten bright and feisty tiny green tsavorite garnets.
These earrings are one-of-a-kind humdingers, over 2" long and rigid but lightweight and comfortable to wear. They are fashioned in rich, high-polish 18 karat gold with 18 karat gold butterfly backs.

Carved Amethyst Teardrop Earrings in 18 Karat Gold with Diamond Accents
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Eytan Brandes bought a trio of carved amethysts (cut for earrings and a pendant) at a trade show several years ago. Originally, he intended them as a matched set with a lot of diamonds, but he never got around to it and eventually put the project aside. Coming across the stones earlier this year, he decided he didn't want to create a matching set, opting instead for something more casual (although "casual" is relative when you're talking about a 30 carat amethyst...

35 Carat Orange Ethiopian Opal in Brushed 18 Karat Yellow Gold Cocktail Ring
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
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...
