Eytan Brandes Chain Necklaces

Four different components came together to make this sexy 14 karat yellow gold chain. The curb chain itself is standard jeweler's inventory that's been kicking around the store for a few years. Eytan Brandes removed the lobster clasp and added the toggle, which is newly cast from an antique silver toggle. For the end ring, he pried one of the rings off of a boring brooch -- one of those pins where a cluster of rings makes a kind of wreath. The ring looks great -- it's thick and has squared edges -- but it's hollow and too lightweight to stand up to the solid toggle. (Strangulation alert!) Rather than lose the ring, Eytan decided to add some weight. The tassel -- from his mysterious pile of 1950's gold tassels acquired several years ago -- is his happy solution. It moves freely from a large matching bale and is the perfect finishing touch! Measurements: Chain length (including the end ring): 19" Tassel length (including bale): 2" Chain thickness: 1.4mm Chain width: 3mm Marks: The original chain plate has been left in place (you can see in the photos that it's like a little added link...

Eytan Brandes made this pendant to showcase the clean little emerald cut center diamond. Drawing on an Art Deco palette of symmetry and geometric shapes, his sparkly little box frame with cut-in corners resembles nothing so much as an envelope, sealed with a diamond kiss. The bezel-set center stone is 0.32 carats in a classic emerald cut. Eytan rates the stone VS1 clarity and G-H color. The twelve surrounding pavé-set stones are high-quality brilliant cut melee, about 0.12 carats total. Eytan has always loved station...
