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.

Princess Length Curb Chain with Toggle Closure & Tassel Ornament in Yellow Gold
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Four different components came together to make this sexy 14 karat yellow gold chain. The curb chain itself is standard jeweler's inventory that's been kicking around the store for a few years. Eytan Brandes removed the lobster clasp and added the toggle, which is newly cast from an antique silver toggle. For the end ring, he pried one of the rings off of a boring brooch -- one of those pins where a cluster of rings makes a kind of wreath. The ring looks great -- it's thick and has squared edges -- but it's hollow and too lightweight to stand up to the solid toggle. (Strangulation alert!) Rather than lose the ring, Eytan decided to add some weight. The tassel -- from his mysterious pile of 1950's gold tassels acquired several years ago -- is his happy solution. It moves freely from a large matching bale and is the perfect finishing touch! Measurements: Chain length (including the end ring): 19" Tassel length (including bale): 2" Chain thickness: 1.4mm Chain width: 3mm Marks: The original chain plate has been left in place (you can see in the photos that it's like a little added link...
