About the Item

This large and sexy pendant was a brooch that's been sitting in the safe since dinosaurs roamed the earth. Eytan Brandes always liked the color of the gold and the contrast with the stones, but he didn't really like it as a piece of jewelry until he conceived of hanging it face down as a pendant. The leaves are highly detailed with veins and texture, and their outer edges are polished to give them definition, but the inner surfaces manage to be frosty and matte at the same time, giving the gold a pale, slightly rosy appearance. The citrine berries, on their polished stalks really pop against this background. The leaves are gathered by a ribbon, complete with a "fibrous" Florentine finish. The back is high polish and almost as beautiful as the front. The hidden bale is located behind one of the stems and is large enough to accommodate most chain hardware. We've paired it with a 17" long necklace of polished and faceted 4mm lapis beads. The closure is a 14 karat gold box clasp with figure 8 safety catch. This chain slips easily through the bale of the pendant for mixing and matching. We love the gold against the blue, but if you would like the pendant without the chain, with a different chain length, or with a different kind of chain, just let us know and we'll give you options and an adjusted price. Measurements: Pendant length: 2-1/2" Pendant width (at widest point): 1-1/8" Chain length: 17" Chain thickness: 4mm Marks: The back of the pendant is stamped "14K" for 14 karat gold, but the original maker of the pin is unknown. The tongue of the box clasp is stamped "14K." Weights: The stones weigh about .055 carats each for a total stone weight of about 1/3 of a carat. The pendant weighs 11.7 grams. The lapis chain is not included in the weight.
