About the Item
Story time! About ten years ago, one of Eytan Brandes' customers bought this enormous quartz at a gem show and asked Eytan to make her a diamond pendant to show it off. Eytan made the pendant, set the diamonds, added a fixed chain, then, well, he dropped the quartz.
It didn't break, but it suffered an internal (not surface-reaching) fracture that is more or less visible depending on the angle of the pendant. You can see it in the photos for yourself. Eytan told the client, went back to the original gem dealer, and ordered up another enormous custom-cut quartz. Since the measurements of the new stone were different, he made an entirely new pendant for the new stone and the customer went away happy. Phew.
That left Eytan with a big flawed quartz and a big gold pendant. Fast forward to 2022: after years of languishing in the back of the safe, Eytan decided that it would be a shame to deny these two outlandish baubles a chance. He made some changes, though. First, he dipped the pendant in rhodium, turning it white. Then he removed the chain, which oriented the pendant horizontally, and he added a new bale (fashioned from a 1950s white gold wedding band!) so that the pendant now hangs vertically.
The 82 diamonds on the halo are all tiny but good quality (G-H color and VS clarity) natural, untreated earth-mined and full cut diamonds with a total weight of 0.40 carats. The four diamonds on the bale are of lower quality (probably more like J-K color and SI clarity), with an estimated total weight of about 0.04 carats.
The quartz is a 150 carat cut-corner rectangle with a simple step cut -- just 12 facets. However, all of the facets (with the exception of the table and the crown's small corner facets) have ridged surfaces, creating the amazing effect you see in our photos.
The stone is prong-set in the pendant, which is open in the back. The gallery has scrollwork along its frame and loopy, openwork interiors.
This is an extremely large and commanding pendant; we think it looks best with a prominent chain, or with a strand of pearls. We're including the thick twisted silk cord, shown in the photos. It's 16" long and has a black brass push-in tube closure. If you would like us to source a white gold or platinum chain or a pearl necklace for this piece, just let us know.
