Joe’s Special Box – Volume 89

I love vintage wedding bands…  and if they are eternity bands, so much the better.  Call me a romantic, but I adore the sentiment behind the eternity band.  Infinite or unending time…  the ultimate definition of marriage.  My own wedding band features a continual pattern of platinum diamond daisies with textured 18 karat yellow gold centers – check it out!  

Each time I stumble across an old wedding band, I do several things.  First and foremost, I try it on.  I want to know how it fits, what it feels like, and how it looks on my hand.  Then, I go all over it with my loupe…  inside and out.  Does it have any hallmarks?  Inside engraving?  Finally, I ask myself “Is this blog worthy?”  This band is most definitely blog worthy!

This 14 karat two tone beauty from Joe’s Special Box is absolutely divine.  Where to begin?  Perhaps with that scalloped edge created from a series of half-moon designs.  This utterly feminine detail enhances the lacy pattern of the center section.  Ten east/west oriented marquise shapes are carefully fitted between ten narrow parallel bars.  Each marquise has been set with a single round diamond for a combined weight of .30 carat – a little sparkle is always good!

It looks great on the hand and is quite comfortable.  This little gem is perfect alone but would also work well in a stack.  It’s available now on our site for just $560.00.  Make it yours now.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 88

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Scarves have been a favored accessory for the last few years – they define form and function…  and, of course, fashion.  At Joden, we have a scarf unlike any you have ever seen.  Woven from thousands of miniature seed pearls, this elegant beauty brings a classic wardrobe staple to a whole new level.

The main body of the piece is approximately 42 inches long and just half an inch wide and has a decidedly delicate feel.  Each end features a multi-stranded tassel topped with a platinum cap.  Twelve tiny petals fan out from the cap’s center and are set with three rose cut diamonds each.  While it’s beauty is certainly captivating, it’s the versatility of this pearl scarf that has me mesmerized.

Recently, this piece was borrowed  by a long-time friend of Joe.  His daughter wore it in her wedding…  but perhaps not in the way you would think.  For the ceremony, she wrapped it around her neck allowing the tassels to flow down her back.  Later, at the reception, she looped the length of it through her chestnut colored tresses, with the tails nestled at the nape of her neck.  We have re-created the look here along with two additional styles.

   

There are so many manners in which to wear this piece… around your neck, around your wrist, threaded through your hair.  With more than twenty-five ways to sport a scarf, what would you do with this pearl beauty?  Priced at $5,500…  the possibilities are endless.

Baubles, Bling, and Holiday Things

The first snowflakes fell today, covering everything in a glittering white blanket.  Snow is the one thing sure to get me in a festive spirit, and with Thanksgiving just two weeks away…  there’s no denying it.   The holiday season is officially upon us – let the celebrations begin!  

My favorite part of this time of year are the parties and gatherings – whether they be with family or friends, there’s nothing quite like spending time with the ones you love.  Twinkling lights, clinking glasses, platters overflowing with delicious treats and SO much laughter!  Silly as it may seem, one of my biggest dilemmas always seems to be the same…  “What do I wear?”  

Joden to the rescue!  We have the perfect gems and jewels for every occasion.  Whether you’re snuggled in for movie night in warm flannel jammies or glamming it up to dance the night away in sequins and heels – make sure your jewelry is from Joden.  

These platinum and white gold dangles are so festive!  Resembling snowflakes, each one features a .50 carat diamond at the center.  These round brilliants are surrounded by an additional eighty-six sparklers that have a combined weight of 2.25 carats!  These 1960’s vintage earrings are finely made; expertly set with bright white diamonds.  Add a bit of dazzle with these beauties for $4,800.00.

I absolutely adore the ultra-modern feel of these sleek numbers.  An 18 karat yellow gold marquise-shaped band encapsulates the outer edge of a fancy-cut lemon yellow citrine.  Reflecting light like a mirror, these earrings have a chic vibe about them.  Each stone swings freely from a long wire…  they’re available now for $2,100.00.

These flower-esque gems might have you asking “Are those earring old, or are they new?”  It’s a good question, considering that the center stones are rose cut diamonds – a cutting style that has been around for more than 150 years.  The diamonds weigh 1.00 carat each and are surrounded by a series of vibrant ruby petals.  The twenty-four rubies have a total weight of 3.00 carats!  These botanical beauties are brand new, moderately priced at $8,750.00.

These and countless others are waiting for you at Joden.  Stop in and find the ideal accessory for each and every holiday party on your calendar!
