Wendy Brandes Tudor-Inspired 18K White Gold Sunburst With 2 TCW Diamonds

About the Item

Like many of Wendy's designs, this sunburst pendant was inspired by a powerful woman -- the Tudor dynasty's Queen Elizabeth I. Elizabeth I carefully crafted a supernatural, deity-like image of herself through portraits, jewelry, dress, and literature. In Edmund Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene," Elizabeth is referred to as Gloriana. And in one especially famous portrait, Elizabeth holds a rainbow in her right hand, near the Latin motto “Non Sine Sole Iris," meaning “no rainbow without a sun”. 18K white gold. Over 2 carats of F/G VS diamonds. 2 1/2"" wide pendant on 16"" quadruple chain. Only one white gold version of this limited-edition design was ever made. Made in New York City.

Wendy Brandes 18K Yellow Gold Medallion Necklace With Skull-Shaped Black Diamond
By Wendy Brandes
Located in New York, NY
Medallions are worn to invoke guidance and luck, or remind you of what you've overcome and where you're headed. This pendant combines the ancient jewelry concept of Memento Mori with modern-day gem-cutting technologies in the form of a single black diamond cut into a skull shape. The whole design is filled with markers of the wearer’s life. White diamond baguettes pointing in four directions, invoking a compass. The Latin phrase “CARPE DIEM” is inscribed as a reminder to live life to the fullest each day, no matter which direction that takes you. Because Wendy intended this medallion to speak to the wearer’s personal mantras, the inscription is written in Leonardo da Vinci-style mirror writing, so that the message is clearest when you're looking at your own reflection. 18K yellow gold, satin finish with distressing. Fancy-cut black diamond in skull...
