"Cloud Dancer" Necklace in 18K Gold, Diamonds & Baroque Pearl by Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
This necklace features one of Eytan Brandes' signature designs - a dancer spinning in her own web of movement. This version includes a little extra -- a barqoue freshwater pearl "cloud" that our dancing dervish seems to be plucking out of the air. The pendant is meticulously set with 51 tiny round diamonds in various sizes up to 1.3mm; Eytan wanted them to look like they just naturally collected into little pools of light. These diamonds are all natural (i.e., earth-mined) and untreated stones with a total diamond weight of 0.34 carats. Our supplier rated this parcel G-H color and high SI or low VS clarity. The pearl is a freshwater baroque, glossy white and chosen specifically for its shape: our dancer appears is pressing her cloud at both ends, so we wanted a pearl that appeared to be a bit smooshed-looking -- like a pillow being caught between two hands. The chain* is cut from a gorgeous vintage 18 karat gold chain that we acquired at a vintage jewelry show...

Antique, New and Vintage Pearl Necklaces

Vintage pearl necklaces have been a jewelry-box essential since, well . . . let’s call it forever. The 16- or 18-inch strand, made popular in the 1950s by Marilyn Monroe (whose Mikimoto akoyas were a gift from Joe DiMaggio), is exceptionally chic, beloved by ingenues and grande dames alike. Plus, the natural oils and warmth of your skin will enhance their luster over time. 

Pearls are elegant and versatile — just ask Coco Chanel or Jacqueline Kennedy — and valuable. In 1917, Pierre Cartier famously traded a double-strand of natural pearls for a Fifth Avenue mansion, the Cartier brand’s flagship store ever since. “Pearls remain timeless because they are an organic matter that renews itself over the generations; as long as there is life there will be pearls,” says Talila Gafter, president of Ella Gafter, a New York–based pearler specializing in classic necklaces and statement designs.

Adding a subtle glow to your face and skin, a string of pearls is appropriate for every occasion, whether you’re interviewing for a job or sipping swanky cocktails. And if you already own a necklace? The next must-have, according to Gafter, is earrings or a longer style that incorporates colored gemstones.
