Pick of the Week – Volume Thirteen

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Number thirteen… lucky or not? We say yes! What could be luckier than a smoking deal on a beautiful piece of jewelry? For week number thirteen, we chose a classic pair of Victorian diamond earrings. Every great wardrobe is built on timeless foundation garments like the perfect little black dress. Your jewelry collection is no different – there are certain items that are a must!

Made from 10 karat rosy gold, these earrings will quickly become your favorites. The design features an eight-pointed star in the middle. A primitive rose cut diamond is prong-set in the center of each earring and a halo of eight additional rose cuts creates the outer edge. These eighteen diamonds have a combined weight of .40 carat.

Perhaps the most intriguing mechanical detail of these beauties is the closure. At first glance, they appear to be made in leverback style – however, the earwire actually threads through the back of the ear and clasps in the front. The small notch on the end of the wire snaps snugly in place, allowing the earring to hang jauntily at the base of the lobe.

The light twinkles off each facet of the rose cut diamonds. This hint of sparkle is subtle enough for daily wear and adds to the charming character of the earrings.

Originally priced at $1,575.00 – these Victorian darlings are now available for just $1,180.00! That works out to be just over $65 per diamond – what a bargain! Take advantage of our Pick of the Week pricing and make these yours today.

Baubles, Bling and Birthstone Things

All week long, we’ve been celebrating our stick pin obsession; we even created our own hashtag to help share the love – #stickpinobsession. We have hundreds of these tiny treasures in every shape, size and theme. There are flowers, animals, crescent moons and horseshoes. From Victorian to Art Deco – we simply can not help ourselves!

We have four trays overflowing with these little beauties – a resource we often utilize to fashion conversion jewels. Stick pins are easily converted to rings, pendants, and charms. One of our favorite things to do is create custom charm bracelets – multiple motifs perfectly blended to reflect your personal style and story. You can even design a family piece using birthstone stick pins! So fun, right?

The above photo features an array of stick pin wonders arranged from January to December – a little bit of everything from garnets to turquoise and a few special ones for our August and September babies.

If peridot is your birthstone, mark your spot with one of these darling gems. Choose between an elegant Edwardian enticer accented with a square cut peridot, a tiny pearl, and linear engraving priced at $300… or an Art Nouveau number featuring a pair of enameled sea serpents intertwined with a round peridot and a small white pearl priced at $200. You don’t have to be born in August to nab one of these!

All of you September-born babes don’t want to miss these sapphire sparklers. Both were made just before the turn of the 20th century – the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of Art Nouveau. Perhaps you favor the stately lion that crowns the first stick pin. A golden ring is held between his powerful jaws with a pair of grand garlands draped above a bright blue round sapphire priced at $300. Or maybe you’re fixated on the sinewy enameled vine depicted in the second pin. Shades of pastel pink fade into a spring green accenting the round blue sapphire center to perfection, available now for $200.00. I may have been born in May, but I am definitely a sapphire girl!

Convert these pretties into sweet little rings, delicate pendants, charms with special meaning or leave them as they are. With hundreds of stick pins in stock, we weren’t able to put them on our site. But we’d love to do the shopping for you… call us at 800-747-7552 or send an email to carrie@joden.com and tell us what you’re searching for.

Pick of the Week – Volume Twelve

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

A few words come to mind when I think about this week’s piece… enchanting, ingenious and my favorite – charming. Nothing can more accurately describe our twelfth Pick of the Week. This bracelet has been on our list from the very beginning – we LOVE conversion jewelry. This unique bracelet was handcrafted in our shop from nine stick pins. It’s an unusual take on a charm bracelet.

A nine inch long segment of rolo link chain features a swivel clasp (up-cycled from an antique watch chain) and a graduated series of beautifully colored gem-set charms. After sifting through hundreds of Victorian stick pins, Joe hand selected these beauties. Each one centers on a silky smooth cabochon stone… there are three moonstones, three amethysts, one jade, one opal and one turquoise. The colors blend from one into the next in a glorious array of lavender, blue, green and white.

The individual character of each stick pin has been maintained and only adds to the overall appeal of the bracelet. A bit of blue enamel, an engraved bezel, high polish or matte-finished gold… I am completely captivated by each and every one.

We kept the bracelet long – nine inches to be exact. This allows us to custom fit this bit of arm candy to any wrist. Since this IS the Pick of the Week… that means there’s about to be a price drop! Originally listed on our site for $3,000 – we are now offering it at an absolute steal of a deal. Buy it today for just $2100! With the current gold market on the rise, an argument could be raised that this is actually an investment piece! Make it yours today.
