About the Item

These new (but inspired by Very, Very Old) earrings by Eytan Brandes feature two flecky faceted kyanites. The design is based on some gold drops Eytan saw in a magazine article about relics found around the ancient Roman town of Pompeii, buried under tons of ash from a volcano, giving us the gift of some very well-preserved artifacts of ancient life. Eytan used kyanite because he liked the stones' underlying shimmer, the rose cut faceting, and the crushed glass effect of all the stones' interior inclusions. You'll see in the video that one stone is markedly darker than the other, but this is not as obvious under natural lighting. We don't work with kyanite very often because it can be brittle, but we were able to makes these two rose cuts work with some very careful stone-setting by our pro setter, Sako Barsonian, and we love the results! These stones are from India and weigh a total of 5.98 carats. The earrings are 1-3/4" (44mm) long. The bottom discs are 5/8" (16mm) wide. These earrings weigh 9.7 grams.
