"Blue Moons" Toggle Necklace in White Gold with 2.40ct Sapphire Drops + Diamonds
About the Item
Eytan Brandes tore apart a dressy sapphire cuff link (see final photo in array) to make this incredible, one-of-a-kind* toggle necklace.
The sapphire balls are an incredible feat of stone-setting; it's not easy to pave-set stones on a sphere! Six rows of faceted round sapphires -- slightly graduated in size so that the largest stones are set on the "equator" -- work their way down to the bottom where -- just to make the stone-setting challenge more challenging -- an oval (not a round!) sapphire is set in a tidy bezel.
Topping each sapphire ball is a neat little white gold cone. The upper ball hangs directly from the toggle ring, but the lower sphere is connected to the ring by a chain segment plus a little diamond rondelle link (part of the original cuff link).
We counted a total of 224 round sapphires plus the two ovals and came up with an estimated sapphire weight of at least 2.40 carats. The sapphires are a gorgeous range of medium blue, with a couple of lighter stones mixed in.
The diamonds are all full-cut flyspecks. We counted 32 stones with a diamond weight of no more than 0.15 carats.
All stones are guaranteed natural and earth-mined.
The cufflinks were probably made in the 1970s; they aren't stamped (maker or purity) which, along with the workmanship, suggest a custom piece.
The chain is new from our existing stock -- an Italian cable chain, 2mm wide with oval links.
The toggle bar is the oldest component in the bunch -- Eytan filched it from a pocket watch chain, and it's probably around 100 years old, with a nice wavy pattern engraved or stamped on each long side.
We like the choker (15.5") length, but we're not wedded to it. If you would prefer a longer length, just let us know and we'll give you an adjusted price (which be based on labor and additional gold weight -- no big deal).

- "Rose Drop" Pendant with Sapphires & Old Cut Diamonds on Chain in Mixed GoldBy Eytan BrandesLocated in Sherman Oaks, CAEytan Brandes assembled this graceful, sexy little pendant from three different pieces: The 18 karat yellow gold "rose" came off of a frankly hideous 1940s brooch. (The sum of its parts has proved greater than the whole; we're still using bits torn off this monster, and the pieces -- little petals and flowers and leaves and stems -- always look great when they're separated from the mother ship, but when combined in one brooch: a garish mess!) The "stem" was actually a link from a very old (pre-1900), very fabulous but very fussy (and very prongy) diamond bracelet which Eytan resized for a customer, keeping a link as payment. The bottom diamond was badly damaged so rather than trying to match the top diamonds, Eytan replaced it with a nice sapphire. The little 14 karat white gold tri-tipped top piece was the bale from a 1960s birthstone pendant, which Eytan scored and trimmed to match the stem. Finally, Eytan added the perfect delivery system: a choker-length Boston link...Category
