Old Cut Diamond
Pearl Pendant in 12 Gold
Sterling + Akoya Pearl Necklace
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
We acquired this extraordinary pendant from an antique jewelry dealer in New Zealand.
Sort of a hybrid between a garland and a wreath, it boasts at least 1.7 carats in old cut diamonds plus eight pearls, all meticulously set from its hinged bale to its hinged diamond "tail."
The enhancer bale is split in the back so that it can be worn with pearls. To that end, we're including a gorgeous 16" strand of 5.5 to 6mm Akoya saltwater pearls. We had these pearls strung specifically for this pendant, and to give the necklace a more contemporary feel, the pearls have been fully knotted in black silk, which we think really pops with the oxidized face of the pendant. The closure is a 14 karat white gold pearl clasp.
WEIGHTS & MEASUREMENTS:
> Pendant Length: 2"
> Pendant Width (at widest point): 1-1/8"
> Pendant Weight: 7.15 grams
> Necklace Length: 16" (See below for more information about these pearls)
> Total Weight (pearl necklace + pendant): 17 grams
> Diamonds: 54 stones ranging from 1.2mm to 3.9mm for a total estimated diamond weight of 1.73 carats. More information on the diamonds is provided below.
> Pearls (Pendant): Eight pearls ranging from 3.5mm to 5.6mm for a total estimated pearl weight of 0.59 grams (0.157 momme). More information on the pearls is provided below.
METALS & PENDANT AGE:
We think this pendant probably dates from the late 19th or very early 20th century. While the pearls and the diamonds provide clues, the big tipoff is the fact that the stones are set in a thin layer of silver soldered onto 14 karat gold. This technique -- a thin layer of white metal (platinum was also used after around 1870) -- was used until white gold came into general use in the mid- to late 1910s. The distinctive black metal finish is nothing more than generations of the silver's natural oxidization.
THE DIAMONDS:
The diamonds on this piece predate the proliferation of bright white and clean South African diamonds...

"Skinny Twist" Stacker Set: Rhodolite Solitaire w Diamonds + Two 18K Gold Bands
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Story time!
Eytan Brandes was asked to make an engagement ring with a bulgy band and a setting for a nice two carat diamond. When the ring came back from the caster, the band was about half as thick as the band he'd designed. This kind of thing happens occasionally; usually the undersized, or oversized, or upside-down, or backwards, or misspelled, or otherwise misbegotten bauble just goes into the melting pot and we all move on.
In this case, however, Eytan liked the ring's frankly unbalanced look -- its giant center basket hovering over the whisper-thin band. It doesn't work as an engagement ring, but it makes for a cool solitaire. He therefore set the band with ten itty-bitty diamonds and, for the center, he set a delicious, richly hued rhodolite garnet.
The diamonds are natural (earth-mined), untreated little brightlings -- G-H color and VS1-2 clarity. They're full-cut and set in little raised pits spaced evenly across the front half of the ring; discreet prongs hold the stones in place.
The stone basket in the center of the ring is cleverly formed by the four triple prongs that reach up from the bottom of the basket to grab the four corners of the center stone -- a gorgeous rhodolite garnet in deep red with chocolatey undertones and flashes of pink. It's nicely cut with a huge table and a modified Swiss-cut pavilion.
We like the way the ring looks on its own, but we also like it beefed up a bit, so we're including two twisty bands that stack nicely with the garnet -- giving the wearer either option. Eytan made these bands ages ago; they were just sitting in the safe until The Boss realized they'd make a great set with his garnet ring.
And they lived happily ever after!

14K Gold Necklace with Large Drop Pendant Hosting Tiny Frog
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
What to do with a little 14 karat frog that's been hopping around the store for so long no one remembers where he came from?
Answer? Attach him to the kind of gemstone a frog would love: a big drop-shaped faceted cabochon of moss agate. This is a type of quartz with a white or clear body color, but shot through with fern-link green inclusions (mostly manganese and something called hornblende, the description of which is so geoscience-y that we just don't want to go there).
The chubby little frog has diamond eyes (about 0.01 carats each) and that sweetly contented expression that makes frogs so lovable, despite the fact they live in swamps and don't really seem to be all that sociable toward humans. We can dream, can't we?
The stone is wrapped in a 14 karat gold frame made from a hand-sculpted wax mold by Eytan Brandes.
The bale is made from hand-pulled 14 karat gold wire that's been artfully banged about to match the gold frame. It's big enough to accommodate most chain hardware..

35 Carat Orange Ethiopian Opal in Brushed 18 Karat Yellow Gold Cocktail Ring
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
The body color of this huge Ethiopian opal is sort of a pastel orange, but green, yellow and red flashes abound. The entire effect changes in every lighting situation. Even in indirect natural light, when some orange opals tend to look soupy, this stone takes on a gorgeous moire sheen.
Eytan Brandes bezel-set the stone in a heavy, bold solitaire -- over twenty grams of rich, unmistakable 18 karat gold -- with a beautiful satin finish. (Nice detail: the bezel's rim and the ring's interior are high-polish.)
This ring is a size 8; resizing is complimentary for full-price buyers within a range of 6.5 to 9.5. Please contact us if you have resizing requirements outside of this range.
Weights and Measurements:
Opal Dimensions: 28mm long x 19.4mm wide x 14.3mm deep
Opal Weight: 35.7 carats
Ring Weight: 29.4 grams
Face Height: 30mm (1.2")
Face Width: 22mm (0.9")
Band Width: 4.5mm
Band Thickness: 2mm
Note: Opals are difficult to photograph! The color shown in the main photo best captures this stone's true body color.
Also note: Ethiopian opals are more porous than those from Australia or Brazil, so it's important that this ring be treated with care as a cocktail ring rather than as an everyday ring. While exposing the ring to water is not going to damage it (as long as you dry it off), this isn't a ring to wear while doing dishes...

"Cloud Dancer" Necklace in 18K Gold, Diamonds
Baroque Pearl by Eytan Brandes
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...

"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...

The diamonds are mostly single cuts of average quality (probably I color and SI1 clarity), all pavé-set in their own little coin...

22 Karat Gold Coin in Platinum Frame on Pyrite Chain
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Eytan Brandes cast one of his old silver coins in 22 karat gold. It shows a beardless youth, possibly an early emperor (most of them wore beards after 117AD), as suggested by the diadem tied at the back of his neck.
No clue about the image on the back. With the lettering oriented north (and upside down), you can maybe see the neck of a horned animal, but that might just be us seeing things in a Rorschach test.
To frame this little homage to ancient commerce, Eytan crafted a platinum frame with four prongs on each side.
The pyrite chain, which we made specifically for this pendant, has a 14 karat white gold lobster closure.*

Coin diameter: 17mm

Pendant total length (including top loop & bale): 32mm (1-1/4")

Tahitian Pearl "Snaky" Fob on Zoisite Necklace in 10K, 14K
18K Gold

Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Snakes upstairs and snakes downstairs, with a big, beautiful Tahitian pearl in the middle: this one-of-a-kind pendant from Eytan Brandes celebrates all things slithery.
Snake North is one of Eytan's original designs, usually seen as earrings, but this wee snake is acting as the link between the pendant's bale and the pearl cap. He's crowned with a faceted emerald (recycled from an old brooch) and he's 18 karat gold.
Snake South is actually the head of an antique hatpin...
