About the Item

Eytan Brandes used the head of an old stickpin to create the bale for this unique pearl pendant. The bale mirrors the pearl's goofy center "porthole," which, combined with it's slightly flattened sides, reminds us of an old-fashioned diving bell. The pearl is a 12.4mm genuine Tahitian pearl from our trusted pearl dealer, Seven Seas Pearls, with offices in Los Angeles, Japan and Tahiti. Its color (which proved difficult to photograph) is technically black (but not very dark) with pink overtones. Two way circular ridges and some distinct color-banding help to create a little more chaos in this utterly adorable, one-of-kind pearl. The stickpin is 14 karat yellow gold and, with it's classic symmetrical design, probably dates from the 1920s or 1930s. The diamond is about 0.06 carats and is a classic old European cut -- very small table, very high crown, very visible culet. The chain is new -- a lightweight 20" paper clip link chain with a lobster clasp. This chain is removable so you can mix or match. (If you don't want the chain, or would prefer a different style or length, just let us know and we'll give you adjusted pricing and options.) Weights & Measurements: Pearl: 12.4mm x 14.5mm - 3.02 grams Diamond: approximately 2.5mm - 0.06 carats Pendant: 28mm long - 3.7 grams Chain: 20" (2mm link width) - 2.5 grams Total necklace weight: 6.2 grams
