"Clown Strike North" Baroque South Sea Pearl Pendant with Chain in Yellow Gold

About the Item

We found the perfect cap for this adorably dimpled baroque south sea pearl: the top of a vintage articulated clown pendant! We had this pendant for a while, but it's frankly sort of creepy, and the world doesn't need any more creepy articulated clown pendants at the moment. What the world needs is more pearls -- specifically, more big baroque South Sea pearls! Taking a principled stand for both creepy clown population control AND big, glorious pearls, Eytan Brandes ruthlessly tore Mr. Clown apart and created TWO distinctive pendants -- one from Mr. Clown's head and collar ruff (presented here) and the other from Mr. Clown's bejeweled duncecap-shaped torso (sold to our favorite person in Chicago). To see the Before and After, please refer to the last photo in our array. Mr. Clown's head now tops a 10.5mm baroque South Sea pearl, slightly elongated, with an adorable dimple on the bottom. It has good luster and rich white color shot with pink and blue. It also has some natural surface flaws, the most visible of which is a slightly sooty lesion near the top. Since the pendant has a very obvious front and back, Eytan mounted the pearl with this flaw facing backward. Also visible to the naked eye is a stillborn ridgeline around the pearl's middle. This ridgeline gets a little more pronounced on one side, but happily it's not near the center front. The 14 karat gold Italian cable chain, shown in the photos, is included. If you don't need the chain, just let us know and we'll provide you with an adjusted price.

    This lustrous white South Sea baroque pearl is set in a Byzantine-flavored, satiny 18 karat yellow gold two-part pedant handmade in our shop by Eytan Brandes.
