His and Hers – Volume Two

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Modern Rings

These days, anything goes with wedding bands.  The choices are eclectic and varied – everything from classic to contemporary with a bit of whimsy thrown in for fun.  I love the challenge of helping each couple find the pair of bands that speaks to them.  It’s the only tangible evidence of the commitment they’re about to make – as such, these rings should be the perfect combination of beauty and function.


One of our newest pieces in the estate department is this ultra modern gents band.  Made from a subtle combination of 14 karat white and rose gold, this ring is sleek and sophisticated.  The outer perimeter creates a gently rounded square that has been accented by a series of parallel grooves.  The white gold edges feature a high polish finish, while the rose gold center has a satin sheen.    One shining diamond accents the ring, a princess cut weighing exactly .32 carats.  Moderately priced at $1,275 – this is one handsome wedding band!

Once I had the men’s band in my hand, I began the search for the ideal complement to it.  I wanted something equally as elegant, and I think I found the perfect choice!  Made from a colorful trio of 18 karat gold, this contemporary gem is a real find!  It, too is part of our estate collection.  Would you ever guess that those three bands spin?  They do!  Each one turns independently, creating what just might be the best fidget spinner ever!  Twenty-four round brilliant diamonds add a quarter carat of sparkle to this Oh-So-Cool ring.  It’s available on our website for just $1,550.

If you and your significant other are searching for wedding bands, consider an estate piece from Joden Jewelers.  You won’t be disappointed.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 62

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Sometimes, it’s all about basics…  the staples of every wardrobe; a little black dress, a classic clutch, and a great long chain.  Every girl needs one – whether you wear it in one endless loop, double it up for a layered look or wrap it around your wrist like a stack of bracelets – it’s a must have accessory!  I wasn’t at all surprised to discover this gem in Joe’s Special Box.  

Fifty three inches of endless beauty – this sterling silver chain is accented by rose gold-filled links.  Crafted around the turn of the century, each oval-shaped component is handmade.  I love the dual textures – a high polish outer ring with a beaded inner ring – highlighting that soft rosy center.  This necklace pairs perfectly with everything from jeans to stilettos.  Wear it to work or out on the town.  Layer it with your favorite strand of pearls or diamond pendant.  You can’t go wrong with a classic… make this one yours for just $925.00.  Available now in our Facebook store.

No Two Are Alike

Baubles, Bling and Frozen Things

The weather is so fickle in the Spring; the sun was shining all day last Saturday – hot enough to leave a crimson glow on my cheeks and nose.  But, almost overnight the sun turned cold.  For the last few days, we have had a harsh nip in the air -making it feel more like November than May.  I almost expected to see a few white flurries floating in the air.  Fortunately, there’s only been one snowflake at Joden this week; and just like it’s real life counterpart, it took my breath away.  

I can hardly believe that someone was able to create such layers of rich detail in something so small…   this Art Nouveau beauty is just a touch bigger than a dime, measuring 3/4 of an inch from edge to edge.  Speaking of the edge, can you see the delicate pattern showcased there?  That repeating scallop is not part of the enamel as you might have thought…  it’s actually a centuries old technique known as guilloché.  This extremely meticulous method consists of engraving an intricate and repetitive design into the metal via engine-turning.  This particular piece features a complex arrangement of parallel lines overlaid with a series of garlands, vines, and bows.  

Next, the artisan would coat the jewel with a translucent enamel, usually in shades of blue, gray, or green.  Never before have I seen this bright coral colored enamel – it’s glorious!  The red-orange color allows the stunning pattern underneath to really shine.  The final detail is the crowning glory.  Handmade from platinum and painstakingly set with ninety-one rose cut diamonds,  there is no other snowflake quite like this.  It is the epitome of precise perfection.  

As you might imagine, such skill comes at a price, and this one is no bargain.  In fact, it’s extremely expensive, but worth every penny of it’s $2250 price tag.  Available exclusively at Joden.
