Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Earrings in 18 Karat Gold with Diamonds & Sapphires

About the Item

These extraordinary new earrings by Eytan Brandes feature 9 carats of chewy, natural, undyed Sleeping Beauty turquoise. We purchased these cabochons at a trade show in 2022 from Lunawat Gems, which carries an impressive stock of this costly and increasingly rare turquoise variety. To show them off, Eytan created textured, drippy frames of rich 18 karat yellow gold and set them with a half carat of round precious gemstones: dark and light sapphires, white diamonds and green diamonds, Each earring is different, and the pair is one-of-a-kind. With the graceful shepherd's hook wires, the total drop is 34mm (1.34") and the total weight is 7.7 grams. (Note for size comparison purposes that our creepy disembodied ear mannequin doo-dad is life-sized.) The stone weights and measurements are provided below. 10 dark sapphires (1.3mm each): 0.11 carats 6 light sapphires (1.6mm each): 0.12 carats 7 white diamonds (1.2mm to 1.5mm each): 0.05 carats 16 green diamonds (1.7mm each): 0.26 carats 2 turquoise cabochons (15.5mm x 12.4mm each): 9.45 carats All stones are earth-mined. Please let us know if you have any questions about this dazzling pair.

  • 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...
