About the Item

This one-of-a-kind choker features a great new bale design by Eytan Brandes. Here, his box bale shares the stage with a knockout boulder opal from Broken River Mining in Australia. The 18 karat gold bale is pavé-set on three sides with forty-four earth-mined natural and untreated white diamonds -- a total diamond weight of 0.49 carats. These are tiny but high-quality stones with plenty of sparkle; our supplier rates them G-H color and VS clarity. The opal, mounted in an 18 karat gold bezel, comes from the Yaraka mine, located in the middle of nowheresville, Australia, but producer of some very distinctive opals -- those blond/creamy patches you see on our opal are Yaraka trademarks. The right side of the opal features a swath of brilliant green and blue that suggest to us the foreground of Van Gogh's Starry Night over the Rhone. For the chain, we modified a simple but substantial 1.5mm neck wire of solid 14 karat gold. The closure is a hook-in-hook. The hole in the pendant's bale is very small so while the bale is not fixed on the chain (i.e., it can slide back and forth along the wire) it can not be removed from the wire.* Weights and Measurements: Opal: 26.4mm x 14.7mm x 4.8mm (15.67 carats) Bale (not including bottom loop): 14.8mm x 4.7mm x 4.6mm Diamonds: 1mm to 1.5mm (0.49 carats total) Pendant length: 1.89" Pendant width (at widest point): 0.65" Pendant weight: 10.6 grams Total 18 karat gold weight: 7.4 grams Wire length: 14.5" (this is the inside circumference) Wire thickness: 1.5mm Wire weight: 9.8 grams (14 karat gold) Total necklace weight: 19.8 grams *If you would prefer a different kind of chain, just let us know and we'll give you options and pricing. Eytan can do the surgery required, but this pendant is meant to be mounted on one chain and stay there.

"Gosh" Freeform Pendant in 18K Gold with Diamond & Beryl Slice on Sapphire Chain

"Gosh" Freeform Pendant in 18K Gold with Diamond & Beryl Slice on Sapphire Chain

By Eytan Brandes

Located in Sherman Oaks, CA

This one-of-a-kind pendant by Eytan Brandes features a freeform slice of gold, set with a diamond, over a freeform slice of goshenite. Goshenite is a variety of beryl -- basically aquamarine without color. We acquired a little pile of this stuff -- the palest of pale blue and oddly cut -- and were at a loss as to what to do with it until Eytan hit on the idea of setting one of them in a bezel with an oxidized (blackened) inside pan. We love the end result. The swirly pattern of the oxidization plus the faceting plus the minute coloration of the stone combine to give this humble gem a truly unique, shimmery look -- worthy, even, of a hearty "Gosh!" (if anyone actually said "gosh" anymore...) By contrast, the diamond, bezel-set to float in the opening of Eytan's 18 karat gold shard, involves absolutely no hanky-panky. It's an earth-mined, natural and untreated stone weighing 0.04 carats -- a small but high quality sparkler (Eytan rates it G-H color and VS2 clarity). The hand-wrought pulled wire bale is roughly oval-shaped and oversized, since Eytan envisioned his pendant would be paired with beads (which generally require a bigger bale than a chain), but removable. We think our choker-length strand of faceted but rough sapphire...
