We acquired this dramatic and sexy collar in 2024. It's a custom piece, reportedly made sometime between 1960 and 1980 by a Los Angeles goldsmith, but the piece is not signed. We would find this surprising if not for the fact that our own goldsmith rarely signs anything unless we ask him...repeatedly. So leaving that mystery aside, we are proud to offer such a stunning piece. The front-facing half of the necklace is made from five graduated plaques, each boasting meticulously finished openwork plus diamonds and "Big Three" gemstones. Each plaque is hinged to its neighbor with a sturdy ring. The back of the necklace has a nicely integrated box clasp (with figure 8 safety catch) plus four solid, unembellished bar links, curved and carefully graduated. The plaques graduate from 40mm wide x 25mm tall in the center front to 21mm wide x 7mm tall at the back. All but the back two solid plaque links are trapezoids -- not rectangles -- fashioned to angle perfectly in the three dimensional human space where the necklace will hang. Between the front and back, on each side, are two "transition" links -- a great detail that highlights some real design talent: First is a link that includes three bezel-set gemstones but no openwork, and next is a link that just includes a triangular sliver of open space, thus creating a natural transition to the solid links. Amazing workmanship! The nine diamonds are all brilliant cut rounds pavé-set in little white gold square plates...

Eytan made a pendant like this in 2020 using some stray 18k discs and tubes that he had acquired so long ago he doesn't remember where they came from. That pendant sold immediately, but it was basically a one-off since he had 15 stray discs and 14 stray tubes and the pendant used up all of them. But Eytan has been making jewelry for almost fifty years and in fifty years, things get moved around, stuff gets separated, boxes get shoved here, envelopes get shoved there, the moon waxes and wanes, and before you know it, your shop is like an advent calendar...

Combining a great new bale design by Eytan Brandes with a great big golden South Sea pearl, this knockout pendant is modern, unique (literally, there's only one), and immediately eye...
