Pick of the Week – Volume Seven

Joden Girl

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

I am super excited that the Pick of the Week has been so popular!  You guys have really responded to our latest venture, motivating us to keep it going.  If you have a favorite Joden piece that’s been on your wish list, let us know…  perhaps it could be the next Pick of the Week.

This week, Dana and I chose a classic antique ring with romantic appeal.  Two stone rings surged in popularity when Napoleon Bonaparte presented Josephine with one in 1796.  The significance is straight-forward and simple…  one stone for me and one stone for you – earning it the title “moi et toi”.  Our ring is a lovely yellow gold beauty set with a pair of cabochon opals.  These gems flash with sparks of green, blue, orange and red – a kaleidoscope of bold color.  Nestled between the opals are a graduated trio of diamonds – these stones have a combined weigh of .15 carat, another layer of sparkle for this Victorian beauty.

The setting is made from 10 karat gold, and acts as a subtle yet vital supporting cast for those opals, the true stars of this show.  Twenty claw-like prongs extend from the shank of the ring, holding all the stones perfectly in place.  We’ve often talked about three-stone rings – the symmetry of that style has a broad-based appeal.  A two-stone ring is something a bit different, often appealing to those with an eye for sophisticated elegance.  Originally priced at $1,800.00 – this week we are offering this opalescent gem for just $1,425.00!  Make it yours today.

Hot or Not – Volume Two

Baubles, Bling and Spinning Rings

“I’m so dizzy, my head is spinning…”  these song lyrics are swimming through my head.  I can’t resist the urge to move my hand around, to the left and the right making this clever pair of rings just spin and spin.  It’s so satisfying to watch the stacked layers whirl and twirl.  It’s completely hypnotic.  They’re sparkly and shiny and Oh-so-fun…  but would I take the leap and add one to my jewelry box?  

The ring on the top is crafted from 18 karat yellow gold featuring a beautiful ombré Tiger’s Eye disk and round brilliant diamonds.  The visual style is reminiscent of an old school record player; a delightful wedge pavé set with twenty-six bright white diamonds that total 1.25 carats slides smoothly over the golden stone.  Superb craftsmanship and a unique design set this ring apart.  Make a bold fashion statement with this gem for just $1,450.00.

Designed and signed by Norman Teufel, the second motion ring is my favorite of the pair.  The center pin is crowned by a vivid blue cube of Lapis Lazuli and boasts an intersecting duo of swiveling squares.  1.00 carat of round brilliant diamonds add another element of interest to this already stellar piece.  Hallmarks inside the shank include the “N. Teufel” signature trademark, the “14K” mark as well as “c. 1975”.  Teufel is the original creator of the Swinger Rings, each one crafted with precision engineering that is also fun to wear.  This unusual manufacturer makes nothing else…  which means they are very, VERY good at their job.  For almost fifty years, this family-owned business has been making exceptional jewelry at an affordable price.  This estate beauty is available now for just $1,380.00.

Armed with this knowledge, the question remains… “Hot?  Or not?”  Are you tempted to bring a bit of whimsy to your jewelry wardrobe?  Do you need an adult fidget spinner to get you through those Google Meets?  If you answered yes, then Joden is the place to buy it!

This or That – Volume One

 Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Favorite Things

Timeless design, classic appeal and rich with symbolism; the three-stone ring is arguably one of the most iconic styles of all time.  Whether you’re searching for the perfect engagement ring or perhaps an anniversary band that is beyond compare – this exemplary configuration is definitely worth considering. 

Most often dubbed the Past, Present, and Future ring – it’s aptly named.  Usually arranged with one larger center stone that is flanked by a pair of smaller stones, the meaning is simple.  One small diamond represents the love and memories the couple has shared, the other smaller diamond personifies all of the beauty and joy of where the relationship is now while the larger diamond in the center is symbolic of a bright and promising future. 

Once you’ve committed to this ultra romantic motif, I have just one question for you…  this or that?  These two beauties are at the top of my list, but which one would you choose?  First, we have an antique-inspired 18 karat yellow gold stunner.  A revival of the Victorian half-hoop ring, this modern counterpart has a quiet beauty that is tough to beat.  With the three main diamonds having a combined total weight of 1.72 carats – it sparkles from every angle.   The overall style of this gem is low profile and band-like, making it ideal for daily wear.  Priced at $6,700.  

Then we have this cool platinum dreamboat.  Three round diamonds span the mid-section of this modern marvel with a combined total of 1.04 carats of brilliance.  An additional thirty diamond melee are set in the side, shoulders, and gallery of the band – quite literally covering the entire top half of the ring.  This baby is all about the sparkle and is available on our website for just $5,850.00.

And so the question remains the same…  this or that?  Would you prefer the warm Victorian vibe created by this vintage-inspired yellow gold ring or perhaps you’re captivated by the white hot heat of the platinum number.  These and so much more is waiting for you at Joden Jewelers.
