Brown Tahitian Pearl with 14k Gold & Sapphire Bale on Iolite & Quartz Necklace
About the Item
This one-of-a-kind necklace features a near-round 13mm Tahitian pearl in an unusual brown shade. Topping it off is a vintage 14 karat gold stickpin set with a light blue sapphire. The chain continues the brown and blue color scheme with dark blue iolite in the center and smoky brown quartz at the ends.
The Pearl: Among the many gorgeous and interesting colors produced by the black lip oysters of Tahiti, brown is one of the more unusual, and it's particularly beautiful here, with pink and green overtones. We got this pearl from George Hajjar of Seven Seas Pearls, with offices in Los Angeles and Japan. Mr. Hajjar deals only with saltwater pearls -- akoya, South Sea and Tahitian -- and he buys directly from the pearl farms, so we always know we're getting the real thing. This pearl is 13mm and shows some divots, but they're not discolored, so difficult to see without a close inspection, and most of the divots faces to the back. The skin is beautifully mottled, attesting to its thick nacre.
The Stickpin: The stickpin is 14 karat gold and features concentric squares with a sapphire set in the middle. Assuming the sapphire is the original stone, we think the stickpin probably dates from the 1950's or possibly a little later. While the style is very Art Deco, the sapphire is too small to be so well-cut for that era. The sapphire -- probably no more than 0.05 carats -- is nice, though included, with light (but not pale) blue color and a well-executed, high-table cut. The width of the stickpin (corner to corner) is 15.3mm.
The Chain: The pendant is fixed on a 17" necklace of sparkling, faceted 4mm gemstone beads -- dark blue iolite rondelles in the middle and light brown, transparent smoky quartz beads on the ends. Strung on blue silk with a 14 karat gold pearl clasp. Note that the pendant is fixed on the chain (i.e., you can't remove the pendant without spilling a whole lotta beads on your floor).*
The pearl weighs 3.04 grams (0.81 momme). The necklace (pendant and beaded chain) weighs 13.5 grams.
*If you need a different length of chain, or a different type of chain, or don't want a chain at all, just let us know and we'll give you adjusted pricing and options.

16mm Tahitian Pearl "Roar" Pendant with Vintage Gold Lion Bale on Garnet Chain
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
This bonkers, one-of-a-kind pearl fob features a huge baroque Tahitian pearl -- grey on the bottom, fading to rare silvery white on the top. Light brown ring plus a some interesting bumps oriented toward the back only add to the package. Topping the pearl is the head from an old stickpin -- a 14 karat gold lion, growling for all he's worth.
The pearl is from our trusted pearl dealer, George Hajjar of Seven Seas Pearls. Mr. Hajjar deals only in saltwater pearls -- Tahitians, South Sea and Akoya. He deals directly with the farms that produce the pearls -- never through brokers or auctions -- so we always know we're getting the real thing, though with a pearl like this, it's hard to mistake it for anything other than a Tahitian. This drop-shaped pearl is notable for its white top, white being a prized and rare color for Tahitian pearls. The way the white section is defined by the center rings (circles) is absolutely exceptional.

Snakes upstairs and snakes downstairs, with a big, beautiful Tahitian pearl in the middle: this one-of-a-kind pendant from Eytan Brandes celebrates all things slithery.
Snake North is one of Eytan's original designs, usually seen as earrings, but this wee snake is acting as the link between the pendant's bale and the pearl cap. He's crowned with a faceted emerald (recycled from an old brooch) and he's 18 karat gold.

"Mousies" Pendant Pair in Yellow Gold with Tahitian Pearls on Aquamarine Chain
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Two fat little mice in 14 karat yellow gold with silver-blue Tahitian pearl bodies hang happily by their tails from a string of sparkling aquamarine beads.
These mice are based on an antique silver charm that we've had in the store for a while. The silver version had a rock crystal bead for a body and no tail, but we thought he would be a great delivery system for pearls.
The pearls are smallish Tahitians and in an unusual silver-blue shade you'd more likely associate with Akoya pearls. They're from our trusted pearl dealer, George Hajjar of Seven Seas Pearls with offices in Tokyo and Los Angeles. Mr. Hajjar deals only with saltwater pearls (Akoya, South Sea and Tahitian), and he only deals directly with the pearl farms, so we always know we're getting the real deal.
The pearls are baroque in shape and measure 9mm and 11.3mm in diameter. They both show great color and luster, plus some natural flaws -- a few dents, lumps and bumps and a circle (on the larger pearl) but no off-color pits or dull spots.
Their long wire tails form loops for hanging from a chain or cord. We think they look great with the aquamarine bead chain...
