Watermelon Tourmaline Slices in 14K Gold Freeform Dangle Earrings with Diamonds

About the Item

These gorgeous new, one-of-a-kind earrings by Eytan Brandes feature bicolor tourmaline slices framed in textured gold randomly smattered with with tiny diamonds. The vivid pink and green Brazilian tourmalines have plenty of interesting natural inclusions. One is about 25% larger than the other. The stones are framed in 14 karat gold with prongs holding them in place, front and back. Eytan fashioned the frames by hand specifically for these unusual shapes, then sculpted the openwork, vaguely topographical lattice above each stone. To compensate for the difference in sizes, he made a longer frame for the smaller stone so that both earrings are about 2" long. The 44 burnished (aka flush-set) diamonds are all from Eytan's Big Box o' Recycled Diamonds -- stones that he's pulled from thousands of pieces of jewelry (some in the process of making repairs or alterations but most in the process of getting melted) that have come in to the store in his long career as a goldsmith. They are all natural (i.e., earth-mined) and some of them are obviously pretty old based on their cuts. They range in quality, but most are in the SI clarity and H-J color ranges. Just under half the stones are either single cuts or Swiss cuts and the rest are brilliant cuts. The total diamond weight is just under 0.26 carats. In solid 14 karat gold. Signed by Eytan Brandes. WEIGHTS & MEASUREMENTS: Earring length: 2" (49mm and 52mm) Tourmaline weight: 18.5 carats. Diamond count: 44 Diamond sizes: 1.1mm to 2.2mm Total diamond weight: 0.258 carats Earring weight: 11.5 grams NOTE: The stones appear dark -- with the pink looking almost red -- in some of our photos. This is just a matter of lighting and whatever's behind the stones, which are translucent. The main photo is an accurate depiction of the stones color.

"Tearaway" Long Dangle Earrings with Old & Single Cut Diamonds in White Gold
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
These sexy, drippy, not-entirely-matching diamond earrings are crafted from bits and pieces of a frankly hideous 1950's two-tone diamond brooch we've had in the safe for about two thousand years. The boss, Eytan Brandes, didn't like the pin (nor did the consuming public), but he liked elements of it -- specifically the white gold parts, which have a sort of dishabille quality. He melted most of the pin, but tore off several bits and pieces to make these fabulous earrings. The diamonds are mostly single cuts of average quality (probably I color and SI1 clarity), all pavé-set in their own little coin...
