"Hummy" Necklace with 18k Gold Enamel Hummingbird on 14k Franco Link Chain
About the Item
This adorable hummingbird -- about a third the size of a real hummingbird -- came to us as a bale pendant (which was, we believe a conversion from a brooch), but we converted it to a fixed pendant and added a soft, just-thick-enough franco chain.
The hummingbird is 18 karat gold with shimmery blue and green enamel and a tiny ruby cabochon eye. He measures 1-1/2" wide and just under 7/8" tall. He weighs 8 grams and is stamped 18K on the back but there are no maker's marks. Note that the tip of the bird's right wing showed some enamel loss so we had it restored by a professional enamelist.
The chain is a substantial 1.7mm franco link in 14 karat gold with squared sides and a nice swivel lobster clasp.
The total length of this necklace is just over 16" and the total weight is 14.6 grams.

- Condition:Additions or alterations made to the original: We think this piece was originally a brooch. By the time it landed in our shop, it had been converted to a bale pendant. We re-converted it to a fixed pendant. Polished. Repaired: The hummingbird had some enamel loss on his top right wing but we had it restored by a professional enamelist. The hummingbird and chain were sourced separately; both pieces are vintage. The chain is in excellent condition.

- "Gosh" Freeform Pendant in 18K Gold with Diamond & Beryl Slice on Sapphire ChainBy Eytan BrandesLocated in Sherman Oaks, CAThis 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...Category
