About the Item
This one-of-a-kind showstopper by Eytan Brandes features two gorgeous and lively Australian boulder opals framed in gold and accented with natural brown diamonds.
The opals are from our good friends at Broken River Mining. Their Yaraka mine, named for the nearest town (population: 10) in the Queensland Outback, produces exceptionally graphic boulder opals with unusual blond potch. We purchased these two triangular stones from Broken River at a trade show a few years ago and they are great examples of Yaraka's surprising colors and Broken River's expert cutting and polishing. The top piece (Maxine's "head") has a large swath of deep blue, plus pinpoints of green, purple and yellow fire. Veins of underlying ironstone show throughout. The bottom piece has streaks of cornflower blue along with flashes of green and points of red, but the distinctive blond potch is much more prevalent.
Eytan set both pieces in 18 karat gold cast from hand-sculpted wax molds. He finished the gold with a satiny, nonreflective polish that emphasizes its rich color and sheen. Secured in the back with prongs, tendrils of gold (set with five sparkly full cut cognac diamonds) complete the job in front.
The pendant hangs on an 18 karat gold twisted rope chain with lobster clasp for a total length of 17"*

"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...
