About the Item

This extraordinary one-of-a-kind pendant by Eytan Brandes shows off a large baroque Tahitian pearl with a clip-on enhancer bale, perfect for pairing with a nice pearl strand. In fact, we are offering it with just such a nice pearl strand: an 18" necklace of super-lustrous silver-blue baroque Akoyas. The Tahitian pearl is from our trusted pearl supplier, George Hajjar, the owner of Seven Seas Pearls, a family-owned and operated business based in Los Angeles. George deals exclusively with saltwater pearls (Tahitian, Akoya and South Sea) -- no freshwater and nothing from China. He buys pearls directly from the source: pearl farms in Australia, Indonesia, Tahiti and Japan, never through brokers or at auctions, so we always know we're getting the real deal. This particular pearl is exceptional for its size (ranging from 17.6mm to 18.1mm), but it also has interesting brown color splashes, a graceful near-round shape, and steely luster. While its skin is otherwise smooth, it does have some natural surface flaws which you can see in the photos. There's a doozy of a pit, but Eytan oriented it to face backwards, so: problem solved! The thick, prominent oval-shaped bale is crafted of 18 karat gold with a crinkly texture and nine flush-set diamonds. The diamonds are 2.2mm (0.04 carats) each, natural (i.e., earth-mined) and untreated. Our dealer rates them G-VS1. The total diamond weight is 0.37 carats. The necklace features 7mm - 7.5mm baroque Akoya (Japanese saltwater) pearls, also from Seven Seas, in extraordinary shades of icy blue and silver with pink overtones. These pearls are strung in pairs, with their pointy ends facing each other, separated by a knot. Each pair is, in turn, separated by a sparkly faceted rondelle of natural zircon.* The necklace is finished with a sturdy and secure 14 karat gold bayonet clasp. We love the way these pieces look together, but let us know if you would like to buy either the pendant or the pearl necklace separately. Also, if you would like the necklace in a shorter or longer length, please let us know. MEASUREMENTS & WEIGHTS: Pendant Length: 32mm (1-1/4") Bale's Inside Dimensions: approx. 10mm x 6mm Pearl Dimensions: 18.1mm x 18.4mm Pearl Weight: 8.8 grams Diamond Weight: 0.35 carats Pendant Weight: 13 grams Necklace Length: 18" Necklace Weight: 27 grams Total Weight (Necklace + Pendant): 40 grams *If you're not familiar with zircon, it's an earth-mined stone that rivals diamond for brilliance. It also naturally occurs in a range of gorgeous colors. It is NOT the same as -- or related to -- cubic zirconium, which is a man-made stone. Here in our shop, we're big fans of zircon, and we really, really wish the CZ folks had come up with a different name for their crappy diamond simulant!
