Brown Sapphire in 0.78 Carat Diamond & White Gold Halo on Boulder Opal Necklace

About the Item

Eytan Brandes has baked up a chocolate lover's dream: Nearly 12 carats of shimmery brown sapphire set in a halo of sparkling white diamonds suspended on a string of tiny faceted ironstone beads flecked with opal. The sapphire is a checkerboard faceted slice with a flat bottom, cut in a graceful teardrop. Eytan made a 14 karat white gold halo specifically for this pretty and unexpectedly elevated stone. The halo is set with 26 natural, earth-mined and untreated diamonds. Eytan always uses good quality small diamonds, but these are a smidgen above ("collection quality," as they say in the trade) - perfectly cut VS1 clarity and G color or better for maximum sparkle. The boulder opal chain is more boulder than opal -- we picked it because we love the varying shades of brown. But the little touches of opal -- most just a silicate luster but sometimes a fiery charge of color -- give these beads a distinctive sparkle.* The closure is a 14 karat white gold diamond barrel clasp with figure eight safety catch. It's set with three diamonds. The diamonds are about the same size as the halo diamonds but are of typical "findings" quality -- SI clarity and H-I color. Weights & Measurements: Sapphire - 22mm x 15.5mm x 3.5mm (11.7 carats) Pendant - 28mm long and 21mm wide at the widest point Diamonds (on pendant) - 2mm (0.03 carats) each x 26 stones = 0.78 carats Diamonds (on clasp) - approximately 2mm (0.03 carats) each x 3 stones = 0.06 carats Beads - 3mm each Total necklace length: 16" Total necklace weight: 12.1 grams * If you like the pendant but would prefer a more traditional white gold chain, just let us know; our feelings won't be hurt, and we can give you options and pricing.

"Open Halfsies" Hamsa with 0.78cts Diamonds in 18K Gold on Carnelian Necklace
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
This hamsa is one of Eytan Brandes' older designs, but he has realized it in many different iterations over the years, always keeping it fresh. In shimmery, satin-finished 18 karat yellow gold, this latest version is the first time he's tried opening up one side. The other side is pavé-set with 25 diamonds. In keeping with tradition, he used all different size stones because this design is one of Eytan's favorite ways of using diamonds from Eytan's Big Box o' Recycled Diamonds! These are stones, mostly of average or below average clarity -- pulled from the thousands of pieces of jewelry that have come through the store over the years on their way to be melted and made by Eytan into something better. The stones used for this pendant range in size from 0.8mm to 2.2mm for a total diamond weight of 0.78 carats. Eytan used diamonds that would be considered "slightly included," avoiding the ones that would be classified as "included." (In other words, he used SI1-2's and avoided the I's, with the exception of the stone at the very top, which is a straight I2.) Most of the stones are full cut, but since a lot of these diamonds came from older jewelry, there are a few single cuts as well. Meticulously set, everybody gets their job done, especially set against yellow gold, which can't help but elevate their color. All stones are earth-mined, natural and untreated. We love putting these stones to good use, and we love the way a bit of careful sorting can bring stones from 25 different pieces of uninspired jewelry together to act as a unified team in something new, beautiful and wearable. Go team! The bale* is teardrop-shaped and decent-sized (8.5mm x 6.5mm), allowing for many chain options, but we like our bright red carnelian bead necklace...
