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 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. 18K yellow gold, satin finish with distressing. Fancy-cut black diamond in skull...
