About the Item

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 chain in high-polish 14 karat white gold with a lobster clasp.* The top diamond is an old European cut, reasonably clean but low color -- you can see its pale yellow-green tone in some of the photos -- and showing some dings off the table. We decided to leave it in place because, unlike the bottom diamond, which was visibly chipped, the top diamond looks good and has a lot of presence -- not worth risking the prong bed to replace or polish it. Eytan rates this diamond M-N color and SI2 clarity, with an estimated weight of about 0.33 carats. The second diamond is some unspecified old cut, but very tall with a very small table, making it a nice match for the sapphire, which has a similar tall cut. Eytan rates the second diamond K-L color and SI2-I1 clarity with an estimated weight of 0.12 carats. The 2.5mm sapphire is probably around 0.07 carats. The bottom sapphire is new and was added by us. It is a natural, untreated (other than heat) dark blue Thai sapphire weighing 0.27 carats. Measurements: > Pendant length: 42mm > Pendant width (at widest point): 13.5mm > Chain length: 16" > Chain thickness: 1mm Weights: > Total diamond weight: 0.45 carats (est.) > Total sapphire weight: 0.34 carats (est) > Total stone weight: 0.79 carats (est.) > Chain weight: 3.1 grams > Pendant weight: 3.5 grams > 18K gold weight: 1.1 grams > 14K gold weight: 5.3 grams (est.) > Total pendant weight: 6.6 grams Marks: The chain is fully marked. The pendant is unmarked. We guarantee the flower is 18 karat gold and the remaining metal is 14 karat white gold. * If you would like the pendant without the chain, or if you would like the pendant with a different length or link chain, just let us know.

"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...
