Pick of the Week – An Introduction

by

Joden Girl

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Much like the story of The Elves and the Shoemaker, we took full advantage of the hours and days that our store was closed.  While our customers were away, we worked diligently to ensure that we are continually offering the best of our inventory to our dedicated clients each and every day.  

While it is no secret that every showcase at Joden Jewelers is positively overflowing with both modern and vintage treasures, we were still a bit shocked to discover that we have many beautiful pieces that have been overlooked – put on the back burner, so to speak.  And so, we put our heads together and devised a plan.

Every week we will be offering an old favorite with new updated pricing.  This is your opportunity to score a piece or two of Joden inventory at VERY special pricing!  The new price will last one week, so it’s up to you to press that “buy” button!  Don’t miss out on these steal deals! 

If you have a piece that you’ve been dying to get but was just a bit beyond your comfort zone…  send me a message.  You just never know what the Pick of the Week might be!  Check out Facebook, Instagram and our website for these unbeatable savings…  look for the gold heart!

Take Time To Smell The Roses

by

 Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Botanical Things

Lately, life has slowed down.  The days roll out before me like an old country lane.  If I didn’t know better I would think I had stepped into a time warp and jumped back thirty-five or forty years.  The hot summer days are spent working in the yard, planting bountiful gardens, riding bicycles and swimming at the local fishing hole.  There are family dinners and family game nights.  We have time to stop and smell the roses.  

These roses may not exude a perfumed scent, but they are no less intoxicating.  Made around 1910, the central part of this brooch is crafted from a singular piece of Rock Crystal.  Carved into the reverse side is an elegant arrangement of four roses; their petals and leaves cascade over the edge of a petite, squatty vase.  Each of the two ends has been etched and frosted from the front side forming a scalloped three-dimensional motif.  This unique process gives an air of realism to this delicate blossom.  

Further accenting the artistry are a series of six calibré-cut natural sapphires.  Small in size, but definitely not insignificant.  This cerulean hint of color adds yet another layer of interest to this late Edwardian piece.  Finally, two bezel set rose cut diamonds mark the center of each endcap, bringing a faint sparkle to this subtle beauty.  Priced at $3,150 – these roses will last forever.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 115

by

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Today we honor all the men and women who have died in the service of the United States Military.  Proud and fierce, they stood tall to protect our great country…  the land of the free, the home of the brave.  From sea to shining sea, flags will be placed on gravestones and the patriotic words of our national anthem will be sung in every city and small town in America.  

Crafted from 9 karat yellow gold in the 1860’s, this tiny ring is bursting with symbolism.  The three leaf clover in the center is a widely recognized representation of three things…  faith, love and loyalty.  Many also believe the three leaves signify the Holy Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  For me, it’s both.  The two interpretations are synonymous – one meaning the very same thing as the other.  

Additionally, our nation’s colors are showcased using a red ruby, a white diamond, and a blue sapphire.  This trio of bold hues are also deeply rooted in symbolism:

Red – Hardiness and Valor

White – Purity and Innocence

Blue – Vigilance, Perseverance, and Justice

Every time I hear the opening notes of The Star Spangled Banner, I feel my heart swell with pride.  My skin prickles with goosebumps…  patriotism.  Being the daughter of an Army Veteran, each word resounds with me as does every aspect of this ring.  If you love it as much as I do, it’s available now for just $325.00.

“And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”
