About the Item
This gorgeous, unapologetically large pendant was originally a gorgeous, unapologetically large brooch, custom-made by a New York jeweler in the mid-1980s.
Eytan Brandes converted the brooch to a showstopping pendant -- a much sexier and more contemporary look when you consider the only garment heavy enough to support a pin this large would be a coat or a heavy wool dress -- not very sexy. As a pendant, on the other hand, you can wear it against bare skin. Add a simple black cocktail dress and you've got instant impact.
The workmanship here is completely astounding. Because some of us at Eytan's have OCD, all 133 stones have been painstakingly measured to come up with an estimated total diamond weight of just over 11 carats, summarized for your sanity as follows:
1 brilliant cut pear: 0.62 carats
2 brilliant cut rounds: 0.41 carats
14 tapered baguettes (0.03 carats to 0.14 carats): 1.17 carats
20 brilliant cut marquises (0.07 carats to 0.50 carats): 2.99 carats
96 straight baguettes (0.01 carats to 0.19 carats): 5.89 carats
Ninety-three of the meticulously graduated baguettes are horizontally channel-set to create the pendant's vertical "ribbons." The remaining 17 baguettes are vertically channel-set to create three "stems." The other stones are all prong-set to suggest leaves or berries.
All of the diamonds are excellent quality, earth-mined, natural
untreated; Eytan rates them G color and VS1 or VS2 clarity.
The setting, including the new bales added to the back, are platinum. The pendant weighs 27.5 grams and measures 1.5" wide x 2.5" long.
The accompanying round omega chain* is new and weighs an additional 6.4 grams. It's 14 karat white gold, 16" long and 1.5mm thick. This chain will be a workhorse; not only does it look great with our pendant, you can wear it with just about any other pendant -- no matter how small the bale -- because the lobster clasp screws off! (The bales on this pendant are not, it should be stated, unusually small; the interior dimensions of each loop are about 3.5mm x 3.5mm.)
Truly a one-of-a-kind piece. Please contact us with any questions or if you want to see the ridiculous four page spreadsheet listing all of the stone measurements and estimated weights.
* If you would like just the pendant without the chain, or you would like us to help you source a different kind of chain, please just let us know!
