"Diving Bell" Black Pearl Pendant with Art Deco Stickpin Top & Paper Clip Chain
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.)

- "Mousies" Pendant Pair in Yellow Gold with Tahitian Pearls on Aquamarine ChainBy Eytan BrandesLocated in Sherman Oaks, CATwo 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...Category
