"Caviar Time" Pendant in Yellow Gold w Mechanical Watch Movement & Spinel Chain

About the Item

Mechanical watch movements are amazing. Every jeweler has a zillion of them, since the cases are frequently melted for their metal value. Eytan Brandes has always appreciated these tiny marvels and has made a few of them into pendants, but he likes them to be a bit stealthy -- not scream, "HEY! I'm watch guts!" His latest pendant, in 14 karat yellow gold, is a perfect example -- with the border of raised dots -- Eytan's "caviar" pattern -- blends interestingly into the busy landscape of a mechanical watch movement, with its red jewels and steel wheels. This particular movement isn't very old -- it was probably made in the 1990s or thereabouts by Gotham Watch Co. For the chain, we decided to go with beads -- in this case glossy black natural spinel, individually knotted with golden brown thread. The clasp is from Eytan's Big Box o' Old Clasps -- a squared bayonet in 14 karat gold with a figure 8 safety catch. The chain is removable, so you can wear the pendant with other chains (and the top loop is oversized to accommodate just about every chain in your chain wardrobe). Boring Details: Pendant length: 1.2" Pendant width: 0.8" Chain length: 19" Bead size: 4mm Pendant weight: 7.8 grams Total necklace weight: 25.4 grams 14 karat gold weight (not including clasp): 4.8 grams Note: If you would like to purchase the pendant without the chain, or with a different chain, just let us know; we'll provide options and adjusted pricing.

  • "Spinal Spinel" Pendant in 18K Gold with Black Spinel Drop & Beaded Necklace
    By Eytan Brandes
    Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
    Eytan made a pendant like this in 2020 using some stray 18k discs and tubes that he had acquired so long ago he doesn't remember where they came from. That pendant sold immediately, but it was basically a one-off since he had 15 stray discs and 14 stray tubes and the pendant used up all of them. But Eytan has been making jewelry for almost fifty years and in fifty years, things get moved around, stuff gets separated, boxes get shoved here, envelopes get shoved there, the moon waxes and wanes, and before you know it, your shop is like an advent calendar...

  • "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...
