Extremely Cute 18K Gold Tassel Fob on Extremely Long Removable Sapphire Necklace

About the Item

This 18 karat gold tassel was one of two attached to an extremely damaged, early 20th Century chatelaine that came into our shop at least 20 years ago as scrap-in-trade. We melted most of it, but Eytan held on to the tassels because they are the cutest little tassels ever, so why the hell wouldn't he? Fast forward twenty years and it's finally time to do something with these adorable doo-dads. We sold the first tassel as soon as Eytan converted it to a pendant. For the second tassel, presented here, Eytan wanted an interesting accompaniment so we made an extra long chain of tiny (2mm) sapphire beads. It can be worn doubled or tripled, with or without the tassel. Lots of versatility here! The tassel's top cap has a nice brushed finish, while the skirt is made of twenty little flat cable chain segments with gold bead ends. (Note that one of the chain segments is missing it's gold bead.) The necklace is 52" -- over four feet -- long. Thirty-seven 14 karat gold beads are randomly strung over the length of the necklace, except at the ends, which finish in a nice alternating pattern of five gold beads and five sapphire beads. The recycled vintage 14 karat gold clasp is a triggerless lobster clasp -- very easy to use because you just push the end ring over the lobster's claw. Weights & Measurements: > Total pendant length (including top links & jump ring): 1-3/4" (45mm) > Width (diameter of cap): 3/8" (9mm) > Necklace length: 52" (132cm) > Necklace thickness: 2mm > Pendant weight: 4.9 grams > Total necklace weight (tassel pendant + beaded chain): 13.5mm Marks: The tassel is not marked but we guarantee it's 18 karat gold. The clasp is stamped "K14." We guarantee the clasp and the round gold beads are 14 karat gold.

Emerald & Tahitian Pearl "Snaky McSnakums" Fob in Gold on Zoisite Necklace
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
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. Snake South is actually the head of an antique hatpin...

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. The pearl has a graceful egg shape with a pronounced ridge at the top, mostly obscured by the "petals" of the cap.

"Gosh" Freeform Pendant in 18K Gold with Diamond & Beryl Slice on Sapphire Chain
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
This one-of-a-kind pendant by Eytan Brandes features a freeform slice of gold, set with a diamond, over a freeform slice of goshenite. Goshenite is a variety of beryl -- basically aquamarine without color. We acquired a little pile of this stuff -- the palest of pale blue and oddly cut -- and were at a loss as to what to do with it until Eytan hit on the idea of setting one of them in a bezel with an oxidized (blackened) inside pan. We love the end result. The swirly pattern of the oxidization plus the faceting plus the minute coloration of the stone combine to give this humble gem a truly unique, shimmery look -- worthy, even, of a hearty "Gosh!" (if anyone actually said "gosh" anymore...) By contrast, the diamond, bezel-set to float in the opening of Eytan's 18 karat gold shard, involves absolutely no hanky-panky. It's an earth-mined, natural and untreated stone weighing 0.04 carats -- a small but high quality sparkler (Eytan rates it G-H color and VS2 clarity). The hand-wrought pulled wire bale is roughly oval-shaped and oversized, since Eytan envisioned his pendant would be paired with beads (which generally require a bigger bale than a chain), but removable. We think our choker-length strand of faceted but rough sapphire...
