Wendy Brandes Engravable Twisting Locket With 1 oz 18K Yellow Gold and Diamonds
About the Item
Hatshepsut was an Egyptian queen who, after her husband died, apparently proclaimed herself Pharaoh. While some historians believe that Hatshepsut served as co-regent with her husband's son, others are convinced that Hatshepsut was recognized as the true ruler. She was depicted with all the traditional regalia of Pharaoh, including a false beard. As a tribute to her, Wendy created what initially appears to be a statement pendant with a relatively simply design. You have to be in on the secret of the pendant's complex engineering to know that this is actually a locket that first unscrews and then slides open, revealing space for an engraving, a lock of hair, a good-luck charm, or a sentimental note.
1 ounce of 18K gold with satin and high-polish finishes.
10 points of diamonds.
One-of-a-kind.
Made in New York City.

Wendy Brandes Jewelry
About the Designer: Jewelry design is Wendy Brandes’s second career. Wendy started out as a business journalist at the Wall Street Journal and CNN, later switching to pop-culture coverage during her tenure as managing editor of People magazine’s website. Her story-telling skills remain as strong as ever, but they’re now expressed in carat weight and grams of gold instead of word count. Wendy's “Fine Jewelry for Witty People" is distinguished by its stellar workmanship; warm, satin finish; hidden and symbolic details, including mechanical parts; and wry commentary on everything from history to iPhone addiction. Her award-winning 18K yellow gold collection -- featured here -- is inspired by fascinating women, and all designs are limited-edition or one-of-a-kind. Wendy has been featured in the New York Times, W Magazine, and British Vogue, and her jewelry has been spotted on Rihanna, model Bella Hadid and Britney Spears.

Wendy Brandes 18K Yellow Gold Medallion Necklace With Skull-Shaped Black Diamond
By Wendy Brandes
Located in New York, NY
Medallions are worn to invoke guidance and luck, or remind you of what you've overcome and where you're headed. This pendant combines the ancient jewelry concept of Memento Mori with modern-day gem-cutting technologies in the form of a single black diamond cut into a skull shape. The whole design is filled with markers of the wearer’s life. White diamond baguettes pointing in four directions, invoking a compass. The Latin phrase “CARPE DIEM” is inscribed as a reminder to live life to the fullest each day, no matter which direction that takes you. Because Wendy intended this medallion to speak to the wearer’s personal mantras, the inscription is written in Leonardo da Vinci-style mirror writing, so that the message is clearest when you're looking at your own reflection.

About vitreuos enamel:
The inimitably luminous colours are literally created "in the fire": layer by layer, enamel is carefully fired in at 800 degrees Celsius. During guilloching, the finest wave patterns are engraved into the gold, creating a unique depth effect. Vitreous means made of glass: the ancient technique is almost forgotten today and Victor Mayer is perhaps the last manufactory to master it at the highest level.
For two decades (1989 to 2009) the renowned German jewellery firm VICTOR MAYER was authorised to create exquisite Fabergé jewels...
