Joe’s Special Box – Volume 96

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

How can a 3.00 carat pear-shaped diamond necklace be both casual and formal at the same time?  How can the same necklace be perfectly mated with a great pair of jeans and T-shirt or also be the ideal accessory for a formal gown?  Allow me to introduce you to exactly that…  a high-end pendant so well designed that it can slip seamlessly from outfit to outfit, day to night without batting an eye.

Seventeen inches of 18 karat yellow gold beauty – first a bar-style link comprised of a section of ribbed black chalcedony followed by a small bezel set round diamond and then another bar-style link of precisely the same design minus the chalcedony.  There are a total of eight black bars, two round diamond bezels, and eight plain gold bars with a toggle clasp. 

The crowning glory of this piece is that pear-shaped diamond…  what a gem!  Weighing 3.00 carats, it is positively dazzling.  Well cut, bright white (H-I color) and eye-clean (SI1-2) – it amps up the volume of this already amazing piece.  Flip the pendant over and you’ll discover the “Jaques” signature in two spots, the hallmark for 18 karat gold as well as a number.  

This showstopper is accompanied by an Appraisal Report from the International Gemological Institute of America valuing it at a whopping $57,115.00!  At Joden, we do our best to buy well and often.  So, today, I ask you… “What is the Joden price?”  Comment on Facebook or Instagram!  I can’t wait to see your answers!

Baubles, Bling and Three Deco Rings

When it come to the number three there is much myth and mystique that surrounds this divine digit.  Most of the hype revolves around religious connotations…  the number is used 467 times in the Bible.  It also signifies the holy trinity, perfection and completeness.  I cannot think of any words more accurate to describe these rings than those….  

This late Art Deco stunner dates back to the 1930’s.  A series of eleven European cut diamonds decorate each and every angle of this square-shaped gem.  Handmade with 1.00 carat of sparkling bling, delicate beaded edges and fine pierced filigree – this platinum piece is tough to beat.  Priced at $3,500, you would be hard-pressed to find a ring in better condition that also offers so much visual appeal.  It’s a treat for the eyes, no doubt.

This botanical beauty is my favorite of the threesome.  If you’re a regular reader, you know that I am a sucker for jewels that rock that flower vibe.  So, you can imagine my excitement when I discovered this multi-colored blossom.  A .60 carat Old European Cut diamond winks from a scalloped halo of alternating French cut emeralds and sapphires.  It’s made entirely of platinum – adding physical strength and durability to its delicate appearance.  This ring sits flawlessly on my right hand, but would also make an unconventional engagement ring.  Moderately priced at $2,380, this ring will not disappoint.

Closing out the grouping is this little sparkler.  Made from a combination of platinum and 18 karat white gold, this ring speaks softly with quiet beauty.  Lightly engraved patterns on the shoulders pair with French and single cut diamonds to create a superb setting for the singular stripe of blue sapphires filing down the center of the ring.  Priced at $1,650 – this ring may not knock your socks off at first glance, but upon closer inspection…  the charm of the subtle details will have you falling in love a little more every day.  

At Joden, this trio is just the beginning.  The eclectic and extensive inventory can only be outdone by the outstanding assistance and knowledge of our staff.  We pride ourselves on providing unmatched customer service to every client we meet. Check us out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 95

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

The pieces in Joe’s Special Box never cease to amaze me.  Recently, I noticed a change in the contents of the boxes…  there are decidedly more pieces than ever before.  Joe has been hard at work, carefully sneaking stellar gems into his personal stash!  This chain caught my eye right away.  

Thirty five inches of 18 karat gold links…  there are tiny little cable rings, each one textured.  There are larger oval halos, also textured and there are also six pavé diamond segments.  Featuring a toggle style clasp and over 2.50 carats of diamonds, it’s so unique.  Not one single part of this beauty is high-polished…  and I love that.  It’s not something that you find in just any store…  but it’s available here for $5,250.00.

The piece is made in two parts, allowing it to be worn as one long chain or two shorter chains.  Versatility is key in jewelry.  Wear it long with a tunic for work, or style it short for an evening look.  Cruise into 2020 in style with this necklace available exclusively in Joe’s Special Box.
