Reversible Diamond and Emerald Quatrefoil Chain Necklace in 18 Karat Yellow Gold

About the Item

Eytan Brandes cast little quatrefoils from a very old station chain brought in by a customer many years ago. Her chain was pot metal, and in terrible condition, but had a lot of sentimental value since it had been brought to the U.S. when her grandmother immigrated. Eytan made our customer an exact replica of her grandmother's chain in 18 karat gold and has been using the same little mold to cast station chains in gold and platinum ever since. The little quatrefoils on his new reversible necklace are two such castings with a scaled up version in the middle. The three quatrefoils cover the center 2.5" of a 17.5" necklace. The bezel of each quatrefoil is set with a diamond facing one way and an emerald facing the other, so one necklace offers two different looks. The diamonds are high quality, natural (i.e., earth-mined) stones, G-H color and VS1-2 clarity. The total diamond weight is just a skoosh over 0.14 carats. The bright green, diamond-cut emeralds are from Brazil and total just under 0.11 carats. The quatrefoils are cast in solid 18 karat gold. The Italian-made cable chain is also 18 karat gold, finished with a lobster clasp. We will shorten to your specifications at no additional charge. WEIGHTS & MEASUREMENTS: > Diamond & emerald sizes: 1.7mm (2) and 3mm (1) > Diamond weight: 0.142 carats > Emerald weight: 0.109 carats > Big quatrefoil: 17.5mm (0.7") long & 2.9mm thick > Small quatrefoil: 10mm (0.4") long & 1.9mm thick > Chain thickness: 1.8mm > Necklace length: 17.5" > Necklace weight: 12 grams

Princess Length Curb Chain with Toggle Closure & Tassel Ornament in Yellow Gold
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Four different components came together to make this sexy 14 karat yellow gold chain. The curb chain itself is standard jeweler's inventory that's been kicking around the store for a few years. Eytan Brandes removed the lobster clasp and added the toggle, which is newly cast from an antique silver toggle. For the end ring, he pried one of the rings off of a boring brooch -- one of those pins where a cluster of rings makes a kind of wreath. The ring looks great -- it's thick and has squared edges -- but it's hollow and too lightweight to stand up to the solid toggle. (Strangulation alert!) Rather than lose the ring, Eytan decided to add some weight. The tassel -- from his mysterious pile of 1950's gold tassels acquired several years ago -- is his happy solution. It moves freely from a large matching bale and is the perfect finishing touch! Measurements: Chain length (including the end ring): 19" Tassel length (including bale): 2" Chain thickness: 1.4mm Chain width: 3mm Marks: The original chain plate has been left in place (you can see in the photos that it's like a little added link...

Antique Book Chain Bracelet in 18 Karat Yellow Gold with Chrysoprase Box Clasp
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
This unusual chain is a segment from an 18 karat gold 40" long necklace that one of our customers inherited from a great-great-great-blah-blah aunt. We know it's European, because her people immigrated from Poland, and we know it's at least a hundred years old (by the number of "greats" in front of the distant aunt) but that's about it. The mark on the original clasp just says "18K," with no tasty hallmarks to help with identification. We've never seen a chain like this. It resembles a book chain, but the construction is different. Basically, it's two lengths of rolo-style cable chain connected to each other by horizontal oval loops with links on each end. It's got great, loose-snaky movement, and every other center loop has been stamped with a bubbly pattern, just to give it a little more visual oomph. We're going to cut this chain down for various projects because it doesn't really work as a necklace. (It's the kind of thing you'd wear with your metals of office, which you don't have, and neither does anyone else.) Project numero uno is this one-of-a-kind, absolutely unique bracelet, which combines the chain with a fantastic vintage 14 karat box clasp, salvaged from an ugly bead bracelet, that's been sitting around the shop just waiting for this chain to come along. It's a big oval box clasp set with a chewy chrysoprase cabochon, nicely cut, great color, and about 15 carats. The clasp is stamped "585" and "14" on the back, along with the maker's mark (MG) for Manchu Gems, which was a Hong Kong jeweler that produced a lot of distinctively "oriental" jade, coral and chrysoprase jewelry...
