"Handy Heart" Necklace in Mixed Yellow & White Gold with White Diamonds

About the Item

This is a fun little necklace Eytan Brandes assembled from various bits and pieces. The 18 karat yellow gold hands, with their cuffed gloves and frosty finish, are two of about a dozen hand charms acquired in a kooky mixed lot Eytan acquired several years ago. This lot came from a retired jeweler in San Francisco and consisted of stock and findings made in the mid-1940's or earlier. The 18 karat yellow gold wheat chain is about ten years old and is in excellent condition. It's a loose weave, about 1.3mm thick, with a spring ring closure and full markings. The 14 karat white gold heart started out in life as an earring. It probably dates from the 1990s and features eight tiny channel-set full-cut white diamonds. The total diamond weight is estimated at 0.05 carats. All together, the centerpiece is about 1-3/4" wide and the necklace is just under 18" long. The total weight is 5.6 grams, of which about 0.5 grams is 14K gold. The remainder (other than the trace weight of the diamonds) is 18 karat gold.

  • "Rose Drop" Pendant with Sapphires & Old Cut Diamonds on Chain in Mixed Gold
    By Eytan Brandes
    Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
    Eytan Brandes assembled this graceful, sexy little pendant from three different pieces: The 18 karat yellow gold "rose" came off of a frankly hideous 1940s brooch. (The sum of its parts has proved greater than the whole; we're still using bits torn off this monster, and the pieces -- little petals and flowers and leaves and stems -- always look great when they're separated from the mother ship, but when combined in one brooch: a garish mess!) The "stem" was actually a link from a very old (pre-1900), very fabulous but very fussy (and very prongy) diamond bracelet which Eytan resized for a customer, keeping a link as payment. The bottom diamond was badly damaged so rather than trying to match the top diamonds, Eytan replaced it with a nice sapphire. The little 14 karat white gold tri-tipped top piece was the bale from a 1960s birthstone pendant, which Eytan scored and trimmed to match the stem. Finally, Eytan added the perfect delivery system: a choker-length Boston link...
