Dangle Wire Hook Earrings with Baroque Freshwater Pearls and 22K Gold Beads

About the Item

We've had these ornate openwork 22 karat gold beads kicking around the store for ages. They're from Turkey, made in the 1970s or 1980s, and they were originally links on a bracelet. Eytan Brandes used two of these 11.5mm beads to make a pair of cool dangle earrings, combining them with a couple of "gourd" pearls -- big white baroque freshwater pearls with long, skinny necks. The pearls are 13mm and 14mm in diameter. (They're 19.5mm and 21mm long, respectively.) The shepherd's hook closures are constructed of hand-pulled wire made of recycled 18 karat gold. The total drop, including the wires, is roughly 50mm (just about two inches long). Note for comparison purposes that our creepy disembodied ear mannequin is life-sized. The total weight of these earrings is 12.6 grams.

  • "Tony & Maria" Long Wire Hook Dangle Earrings in 18 Karat Gold
    By Eytan Brandes
    Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
    Eytan's inspiration for these earrings was a Polish movie poster for "West Side Story" that he saw on-line. The figures of Tony and Maria were shown as Giacometti-like silhouettes, each inside a box, unable to get to each other, against a dark and shadowy "urban" backdrop. Eytan liked the graphic symbolism, but now instead of gang rivalries and prejudice getting in the way of True Love, our star-crossed...

  • 11mm Tahitian Black Pearl and Diamond Shepherds Hook Earrings in White Gold
    By Eytan Brandes
    Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
    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...

  • 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. Measurements: Total length: 1-1/4" Width: 3/4" (Note that our ceramic ear model...
