"Spiked" Diamond & Tahitian Pearl Pendant in Platinum on White Gold Chain

About the Item

This smart, sinewy new pendant by Eytan Brandes is actually a very clever re-use of a vintage (circa 1960's) diamond leaf brooch. The "spike" was the center vein of the leaf, but he removed it, added a bale at one end and an extremely gorgeous Tahitian pearl at the other. (The photo array includes a picture of the original brooch and the two pendants Eytan made from it.) The diamonds are all marquises and narrow straight baguettes. The eight marquise diamonds are brilliant cut, with good clarity and color. Eytan rates them G-H & VS2 to SI1. We estimate their weight at somewhere between 1.20 and 1.40 carats. The thirteen baguettes are amazing -- each one has been carefully chosen to create a line that not only curves side-to-side but also up and down. This technically difficult channel setting has been reinforced for a couple of the stones which have tiny Russian-style extruded prongs that can barely be seen with the naked eye. You don't see this kind of work anymore! Eytan rates the baguettes G-H color and VS1-2 clarity. We estimate their weight at 0.60 carats. The total diamond weight of all 21 stones is estimated to be between 1.80 and 2.00 carats. These stones are all natural (i.e., earth-mined) and untreated diamonds. The drop-shaped pearl is a stunner. At 10.4mm, it's not large by Tahitian standards, but it boasts absolutely incredible luster, nearly flawless skin and gorgeous silvery green color with strong pink overtones. This is an exceptional and entirely genuine Tahitian cultured pearl; it has not been dyed, bleached or treated in any way. To match this pendant's sparkle and sheen, we paired it with a high-polish octagonal snake chain in 14 karat white gold with a lobster clasp. We think it looks great with this pendant, but if you'd rather buy the pendant without the chain (or if you would prefer a different kind of chain), just let us know!

"Mousies" Pendant Pair in Yellow Gold with Tahitian Pearls on Aquamarine Chain
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Two fat little mice in 14 karat yellow gold with silver-blue Tahitian pearl bodies hang happily by their tails from a string of sparkling aquamarine beads. These mice are based on an antique silver charm that we've had in the store for a while. The silver version had a rock crystal bead for a body and no tail, but we thought he would be a great delivery system for pearls. The pearls are smallish Tahitians and in an unusual silver-blue shade you'd more likely associate with Akoya pearls. They're from our trusted pearl dealer, George Hajjar of Seven Seas Pearls with offices in Tokyo and Los Angeles. Mr. Hajjar deals only with saltwater pearls (Akoya, South Sea and Tahitian), and he only deals directly with the pearl farms, so we always know we're getting the real deal. The pearls are baroque in shape and measure 9mm and 11.3mm in diameter. They both show great color and luster, plus some natural flaws -- a few dents, lumps and bumps and a circle (on the larger pearl) but no off-color pits or dull spots. Their long wire tails form loops for hanging from a chain or cord. We think they look great with the aquamarine bead chain...
