About the Item

Webster and his web of gold and diamonds make a gorgeous splash hanging from a string of multi-colored tourmaline beads. This one-of-a-kind piece was created by Eytan Brandes. The frog, originally a brooch made around 1960, is by Cellino, which produced many iconic mid-century designs, including massive swag brooches, humorous figural pieces (poodles!) and pieces with blue and green enamel. Our frog has the distinctive Florentine finish perfected in Italy, and, of course, it's 18 karat gold. The eyes are set with 2mm ruby cabochons -- dark but strong pink, probably around 0.05 carats each. The "web" was a piece of unsuccessful 14K yellow gold studio jewelry. It was apparently one of several plates that were to be linked together, like chain mail, but the project was abandoned and ended up in our shop, filed under "Interesting But What Do We Do With It?" The surface of the web was littered with little bumps and nodules, so Eytan used some of them as prongs, left some of them alone, and cut off the rest. He used the prongs to set three extremely peppery diamonds. These stones are natural (i.e., earth-mined) diamonds, but they are very low clarity due to interesting, large crystal formations in very prominent locations. These diamonds, totalling 0.68 carats, are described in more detail at the end of this description. The chain is a string of faceted 3.5mm natural tourmaline rondelles in a range of pinks and golds and browns. It's finished with a cool vintage magnetic clasp (very strong) in 14 karat gold. The total length of this necklace is 17". Note that we can restring the pendant on any length of chain you want, and if you prefer a metal chain, we can source one for you and do all the required surgery. Just contact us for details, options and pricing. WEIGHTS & MEASUREMENTS: 18 Karat Gold Weight: 9.5 grams 14 Karat Gold Weight: 5.8 grams Total Necklace Weight: 25.5 grams Ruby Weight: 0.10 carats (est.) Diamond Weight: 0.68 carats Pendant Width: 35mm (1.4") Pendant Drop: 50mm (2") Webster's Back Leg Span: 32mm (1.25") THE DERANGED DIAMONDS: Moving left to right, the stones are described below: Diamond A is a round, brilliant cut stone, 3.5mm in diameter and 0.16 carats. It's the cleanest and smallest of the three stones with a signficiant black crystal hiding under one prong. Eytan rates it J color and SI2 or I1 clarity. Diamond B is cushion-shaped and brilliant cut. It's 4.3mm square and 0.30 carats. It has a long, thick black crystal growing right under the table and another smaller crystal off to the side. While the rest of the stone isn't too bad, those big black crystals are hard to miss, even with the naked eye. Eytan rates this stone I-J color and I3 clarity. Diamond C is round, brilliant cut, 3.9mm and weighs 0.22 carats. It has a nutty heart-shaped black crystal right under the table, and a big bubbly cloud in the pavilion. Eytan rates this stone J color and I3 clarity.

"Rose Drop" Pendant with Sapphires & Old Cut Diamonds on Chain in Mixed Gold

By Eytan Brandes

Located in Sherman Oaks, CA

Eytan 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...
