About the Item

Here's something you're not going to see everyday! This knight was originally part of a 1960's over-the-top "Etruscan"-style charm bracelet -- lots of lanterns, lots of cannetille, lots of beadwork, lots of lots. This knight is a fairly common design from the period but is now difficult to wear as a charm (it's just too big for modern life) or as a pendant (the fact that it just sort of ENDS at the breastplate gives it an unfortunate macabre look, like he lost the joust and the rest of his body is back in the tilt yard.) Eytan decided what this knight needs is a bottom -- something to give him a more ovate, integrated shape. And what could make a knight feel more integrated than a gorgeous Tahitian pearl?? The pearl is an extraordinary silvery white Tahitian. If you know anything about Tahitian pearls, you know they come in all colors but white like this is pretty unusual, especially in this size. The pearl is baroque but all the yucky bits are now covered in knightly armor, leaving near-flawless skin (no pits or dark discolorations), excellent luster, and a graceful oval shape. The knight faces sideways (we tried him facing out and he insists on wobbling), showing off his ridiculous plumed helmet. His breastplate is set with turquoise, red and green stones. Eytan added a simple round wire bale, roomy enough to accommodate a thick chain or cord. We've paired it with a three-strand pearl and gemstone necklace which plays off the colors of the pendant and can be worn separately when Mr. Chivalry is off having his hinges oiled. The 3mm pearls on the necklace are Akoya, not freshwater, which makes them very special. Apparently, as the availability of nutrient-rich waters used for culturing Japanese saltwater pearls continues to decline, the economics of producing pearls in small sizes no longer makes sense, and that part of the market has basically been conceded to the Chinese freshwater pearl industry. Thus, very small Akoya pearls are now hard to find and outlandishly expensive. But the pearls on this necklace are vintage Akoya from an estate necklace we purchased in 2025. We initially assumed they were freshwater (we bought the necklace for the clasp!) but because of the age of the necklace, and because the pearls don't have that slightly chalky sheen of freshwater pearls, we showed them to our pearl dealer, just in case. Were we ever delighted when he not only pronounced them Akoya, he also wanted to buy them from us! But we decided to keep them for The Future, and here it is: The Future! We alternated these pretty little guys with stones chosen to complement our knight: turquoise, ruby and golden yellow tourmaline. The necklace is finished with a vintage bolt ring, large enough to work as a charm holder. Weights and Measurements: Pendant length: 49 (just under 2") Pearl diameter (width, not length): 16mm Pearl weight: 7.16 grams Necklace length: 21" Bead diameter: 2.5mm to 3mm Pearl diameter: 3mm Pendant weight: 13.4 grams Necklace weight: 21.3 grams Total weight: 34.7 grams Note with regard to the gold that the bolt ring is stamped "585" for 14k gold, but the knight is not stamped. We guarantee he's 14 karat gold; let us know if you would like to see photo of the acid scratch test results. Also, these items are available separately; just send us a message and we'll provide adjusted pricing. Thanks for looking!

This lustrous white South Sea baroque pearl is set in a Byzantine-flavored, satiny 18 karat yellow gold two-part pedant handmade in our shop by Eytan Brandes.

"Mousies" Pendant Pair in Yellow Gold with Tahitian Pearls on Aquamarine Chain

"Mousies" Pendant Pair in Yellow Gold with Tahitian Pearls on Aquamarine Chain

By Eytan Brandes

Located in Sherman Oaks, CA

Two fat little mice in 14 karat yellow gold with silver-blue Tahitian pearl bodies hang happily by their tails from a string of sparkling aquamarine beads. These mice are based on an antique silver charm that we've had in the store for a while. The silver version had a rock crystal bead for a body and no tail, but we thought he would be a great delivery system for pearls. The pearls are smallish Tahitians and in an unusual silver-blue shade you'd more likely associate with Akoya pearls. They're from our trusted pearl dealer, George Hajjar of Seven Seas Pearls with offices in Tokyo and Los Angeles. Mr. Hajjar deals only with saltwater pearls (Akoya, South Sea and Tahitian), and he only deals directly with the pearl farms, so we always know we're getting the real deal. The pearls are baroque in shape and measure 9mm and 11.3mm in diameter. They both show great color and luster, plus some natural flaws -- a few dents, lumps and bumps and a circle (on the larger pearl) but no off-color pits or dull spots. Their long wire tails form loops for hanging from a chain or cord. We think they look great with the aquamarine bead chain...
