Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Our newest edition of the blog, the “Pick of the Week” is entering it’s fourth week… while we’re just beginning to gain momentum, we’d love your feedback. Have you been tempted to push the “buy” button? If you didn’t make that purchase, what stopped you? Perhaps we just haven’t had the perfect fit.

Speaking of the perfect fit… sometimes a piece of jewelry is like Cinderella and the glass slipper. This week, we are offering a trio of bands from the ultimate in designer jewelry – Cartier. Each one is brand new and accompanied by the signature red box. But just like that glass slipper – it’s all about the fit.

First, we have an identical pair of 18 karat white gold “Love” rings with diamond accents. Each of these highly coveted bands is set with three round brilliant diamonds that have a combined weight of .22 carat. Alternating between each diamond is the iconic carved screw design – the signature of the “Love” collection. Settling on the mandrel at size 5.5, these beauties were priced at $3,450.00 each. For the next week, you can nab one of these for the steal of a deal price of just $2,250.00!

And then we have this gem… the Cartier Maillon Panthere ring. This unique three-row design is a bit more industrial but every bit as desirable. Comprised of eighteen interlocking bars of 18 karat white gold, this ring is the ideal choice for your wedding band. Also sized at a 5.5 and previously priced at $3,450.00 – this killer band is available for only $2,250.00!

If you’ve been watching and waiting for the right “Pick of the Week” for you, don’t wait another minute! If you thought Cartier was always just out of your reach, this is the week for you. Go to our site and grab of these enchantresses for yourself.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Baubles, Bling and a Victorian Ring

Clues. Jewelry is filled with them… and it’s up to us to play detective to find them and discover everything we can about a particular treasure. Sometimes we get lucky and the clues are crisp and clear, stamped right on the item. They’re called hallmarks, maker’s marks, or assay marks.

As you can see, this sweet little ring has a series of these marks and they do, in fact, tell a story. I used my mini magnifying glass (a loupe) to interpret each one:

LBS – This is the “Maker’s Mark”. These letters signify the jeweler who made the ring. I searched the internet as well as our in-house library to try to find out just who LBS might be with no luck. Not gonna lie, I was a bit bummed… but not deterred!
CROWN – This is called the “Gold Standard Mark”. All gold jewelry in the United Kingdom that is 9 karat, 14 karat, 18 karat or 22 karat will bear this symbol.
18 – This is the “Gold Fineness or Purity Mark” noting that this ring is made from 18 karat gold.
ANCHOR – This is the “Assay Mark” that tells where the ring was stamped. The anchor is the symbol for the Burmingham Assay office in the United Kingdom.
h – The small letter “h” shows that this ring was made and assayed in 1882.

Unique details add to the rich history of this delicate beauty. Deeply etched scrolls create an unusual pattern on each shoulder while the center plaque has a diagonal flourish handset with a bright blue sapphire and two tiny rose cut diamonds, adding a bit of whimsical charm to this Victorian darling. Two additional sapphires are set within the side scrolls, a pop of blue against the buttery 18 karat yellow gold.

This ring is low profile and easy to wear. Perfect alone as a non-traditional wedding band or right-hand ring or piled high with your favorite stackables – make this one yours for just $775.00.

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Sometimes, it’s all in the name… the third Pick of the Week is from one of the most recognized brands in luxury engagement rings – Tacori. This iconic design house was founded in 1979 but didn’t become a household name until much later. The stars of the first season of “The Bachelorette“, Trista and Ryan exchanged vowels with wedding bands made by Tacori. Other celebrities, including Ellen Pompeo have selected dream rings from this iconic designer. At Joden, we have several Tacori rings, including this one.

The “Simply Tacori” collection combines elegant and sophisticated details for today’s modern woman. This week, we are offering a unique part of the collection – this platinum beauty. It features ten baguette diamonds and twenty-two round brilliants that have a total weight of .70 carat. We hand-selected a bright white oval diamond as the crowning glory. It’s an exact one carat dazzler! Certified by the International Gemological Institute of America – this diamond is a G color, VS2 clarity.

Today, I found this mounting (made in white gold, ours is platinum) without a center stone at two different retailers. Both were offering just the mounting for $4,570. Originally, we had the complete ring, including the center diamond, listed at $8,000. Today, it’s our Pick of the Week and available for just $5,500! That’s right – the platinum Tacori ring with a one carat oval diamond center for just $5,500!

Undoubtedly, an engagement ring is one of the most significant purchases you will ever make. This ring is the outward symbol of the promise you’ve made. You’ve already found the perfect partner, now it’s time to choose the perfect ring. Pricing available exclusively at Joden Jewelers.
