About the Item

This sexy, one-of-a-kind necklace was assembled by Eytan Brandes using old and new components. The sneaky little fox was the top of an old stickpin, circa 1900. He's finely detailed right down to his tiny ruby eyes. He's creeping along a freeform landscape of solid gold, hand-made by Eytan Brandes specifically for this pendant, with a bezel-set diamond at one end. (The diamond is natural, H color, SI1.) Two strands of cable link drape through the bale and the opening under his tale to connect the fox to a twisted rope chain. (Note that you can hang his tail chains anywhere in this large opening; there's no wrong answer.) The cable links are new, from our existing chain stock. The twisted rope chain, which has a nice burnished tone and a spring ring closure, is probably around 70 years old. Weights & Measurements: > Necklace length: 16" > Pendant: 43mm wide x 23mm long (roughly 1-3/4 x 7/8") > Rope chain thickness: 1.4mm > Diamond: 2.5mm (approximately 0.06 carats) > Necklace weight: 12.96 grams Note with regard to gold purity: The fox was on a stickpin that was stamped (on the needle) "750" for 18K. The fox does not, however, test as 18 karat gold. It does pass a 14K test with flying colors, so we suspect it's a typical antique gold piece where the purity of the gold is closer to 18K than 14K and no one got too fussed about it. With 18K gold currently selling at $106 per gram, we DO get fussed about it , so we are pricing this fox as 14K gold. All the other components are solid 14 karat gold. Also, the color of the pendant looks different in just about every photo, for which we apologize. We use a light box as well as various indoor/outdoor settings and the results, especially with yellow gold, are all over the place. The best representations of the actual color of this necklace are the mannequin photo and the the hand photo.

"Rose Drop" Pendant with Sapphires & Diamonds on 16" Chain in 14K & 18K Gold

"Rose Drop" Pendant with Sapphires & Diamonds on 16" Chain in 14K & 18K Gold

By Eytan Brandes

Located in Sherman Oaks, CA

Eytan Brandes assembled this graceful, sexy little pendant from three different pieces: The 18 karat yellow gold "rose" came off of a frankly hideous 1940s brooch. (The sum of its parts has proved greater than the whole; we're still using bits torn off this monster, and the pieces -- little petals and flowers and leaves and stems -- always look great when they're separated from the mother ship, but when combined in one brooch: a garish mess!) The "stem" was actually a link from a very old (pre-1900), very fabulous but very fussy (and very prongy) diamond bracelet which Eytan resized for a customer, keeping a link as payment. The bottom diamond was badly damaged so rather than trying to match the top diamonds, Eytan replaced it with a nice sapphire. The little 14 karat white gold tri-tipped top piece was the bale from a 1960s birthstone pendant, which Eytan scored and trimmed to match the stem. Finally, Eytan added the perfect delivery system: a choker-length Boston link...

Moss Agate, Pearl & 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.. The pearl, gold and moss agate necklace...
