About the Item

What to do with a little 14 karat frog that's been hopping around the store for so long no one remembers where he came from? Answer? Attach him to the kind of gemstone a frog would love: a big drop-shaped faceted cabochon of moss agate. This is a type of quartz with a white or clear body color, but shot through with fern-link green inclusions (mostly manganese and something called hornblende, the description of which is so geoscience-y that we just don't want to go there). The chubby little frog has diamond eyes (about 0.01 carats each) and that sweetly contented expression that makes frogs so lovable, despite the fact they live in swamps and don't really seem to be all that sociable toward humans. We can dream, can't we? The stone is wrapped in a 14 karat gold frame made from a hand-sculpted wax mold by Eytan Brandes. The bale is made from hand-pulled 14 karat gold wire that's been artfully banged about to match the gold frame. It's big enough to accommodate most chain hardware.. The pearl, gold and moss agate necklace* you see in the photos is included with the pendant. This necklace is 19" long and has freshwater "potato" pearls (oblong like rice pearls only nice and smooth) with stations of moss agate tube beads girded by 14 karat gold balls. This necklace was professionally strung to our specifications on mustard-colored silk thread with full knots. The closure is a 14 karat gold fluted ball clasp salvaged from another necklace; it's probably around 30 years old but has been thoroughly cleaned and works grand. This necklace is removable, so you can mix and match. Weights & Measurements: > Pendant length (including the top ring): 61mm (2.4") > Pendant width: 30mm (1.2") > Pendant weight: 19.8 grams > Pendant bale inside measurements: approx. 6.5mm x 4.5mm > Necklace length: 19" > Necklace thickness: 3.5mm to 4.5mm > Total weight (pearl necklace + pendant): 29.3 grams * We're happy to sell just the pendant, or the pendant with a different chain, or the pendant with the same chain in a different length. Just contact us for details, options, timing and pricing.

"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...
