"Chocolate Drop" Brown Sapphire Slice Earrings in 18 Karat Gold with Diamonds

About the Item

Eytan Brandes' new shimmery slice earrings feature natural brown sapphires and bright white diamonds in rich, unmistakable 18 karat gold. The tops are actually left over links from an extremely expensive diamond bracelet Eytan shortened for a customer several years ago. The workmanship is daffy-good. Usually, to set diamonds over white metal, especially for such small diamonds, rhodium plating over the yellow gold would be used, but here the designer went the extra mile and inserted little white gold plates. We love this kind of attention to detail! The eight pavé-set diamonds are small (0.01 carats each) but high quality, clean, natural and earth-mined brilliant cuts. The sapphires are gorgeous. They are very rough quality -- flaws a'plenty -- but they're nicely cut and polished and have the distinctive silky, soulful shimmer that you only find with rough corundum (i.e., rubies and sapphires). They're also only 3.5mm thick, which means they're deceptively lightweight, despite their size and solidity. The total length comes to 46mm (just over 1-3/4"). The bottom width is 16.4mm (5/8"). Note that our earring mannequin is life-sized, if on the petite size. With the 18 karat butterfly backs, the total weight of these earrings is 10.9 grams. The sapphire weight is just under 30 carats and the diamond weight is 0.08 carats.

  • Mabe Pearl "Serendipity" Earrings with Orange Sapphire Halos in 18 Karat Gold
    By Eytan Brandes
    Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
    Eytan Brandes made the halo frames for these earrings before picking out the center stone because he knew wanted to use orange sapphires, which he loves, but wasn't sure what would look best inside a ring of these fiery little bad boys. It turns out EVERYTHING looks good in an orange sapphire halo. But what ultimately won the day were these two gorgeous 16mm shimmery blue-gray mabe pearls. We call these our Serendipity earrings because it was just by idle chance that Eytan happen to spy a pair of dated clip-ons that have been sitting in his pearl drawer for about a century. And it was a minor miracle that they fit his new halos perfectly -- like they've been sitting in that drawer all these years waiting for Eytan to save them from fusty, dusty, musty clip-on purgatory! The 56 sapphires -- totaling 0.99 carats -- are natural, faceted and meticulously hand-set with tiny beads, pavé-style. The closures are simple shepherd wires.
