Pick of the Week – Volume 20

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

With all the turmoil that 2020 has brought to us, it warms my heart to see how much hope still exists in this world.  With each passing week, we have had more and more engagement customers!  Clients of every age are eager to begin a new life together.  It’s a blessing to be a part of so much love and good will for the future.

It’s tough to predict what the hottest trends will be.  Will customers crave fancy-shaped stones?  Perhaps yellow gold will surpass white gold in popularity.  Maybe non-traditional engagement rings will be the latest request.  The good news is that classic never goes out of style.  Timeless beauty is always on trend.  Tacori (one of the most popular engagment ring designers) is known for time-honored style.

Featuring a dazzling 1.50 carat round brilliant diamond in the center, this stunner is sure to please.  Platinum is the ideal setting for this diamond, set with four prongs.  Warmth radiates from this brilliant stone.  This isn’t your typical white diamond, but rather a very light yellow beauty.  This gem draws you in and warms you up from the inside out.  To highlight that golden glow, a small row of diamonds line each shoulder, adding a hint of sparkle. These diamonds are white in color, providing the perfect contrast to the center stone.

Crescent moon detailing on the edges is a trademark of Tacori, just like the tiny crescent cutout that is offset on the base of the shank.  These small yet iconic touches bring the design to life and highlight the center diamond to perfection.  

Photographs don’t do this ring justice, and perhaps that’s the reason it hasn’t sold from our site.  In any case, this gem has become our Pick of the Week.  We have certification from the International Gemological Institute of America.  This detailed appraisal lists a retail replacement value for the ring.  

  • Retail Replacement Value – $11,930.00
  • Previous Joden Price – $8,500.00
  • New Unbelievable Price – $6,800.00

If you or someone you know is thinking of tying the knot, this ring is the perfect choice!  Send them to joden.com or our showroom at 144 South Broad Street in downtown Grove City.

Tied Up In Knots

by

Baubles, Bling and Knotty Things

Tomorrow is Sweetest Day – a holiday that has been celebrated for nearly 100 years with the giving of candies and small gifts to the ones that you love…  and not just your significant other, but your family and friends too!  If this special day somehow slipped your mind, don’t worry…  at Joden, we’ve got it all tied up.

Love knots have been a treasured theme of jewelers and artisans for hundreds of years.  These small yet intimately symbolic beauties communicate so much more than words can say.  Gold wires, woven together in a series of loops convey an inseparable and unbreakable commitment.  Here we have a mash-up of every kind…  stunning repoussé gold work, soft satin finishes, multi-colored enamels, delicate seed pearls, twinkling diamonds and one tiny opal (my personal favorite).  Stick pins are unusual in that they are unisex.  Men pin them to lapels and weave them through neckties for a statement look while the ladies seem to prefer to wear them as charms or tiny pendants.  If you’re not a pin wearer, perhaps consider converting one or more of these love knots into a prize of your very own.  Pricing begins at $90.00.

These little enchantresses are just a bit bigger than a stickpin.  Each one offers a charm all its own.  Victorian beauty comes to life, from small and simple to elaborately enhanced; carefully intertwined into all of them is the same message of love and unity.  I do have a favorite…

Blue and white enameled forget-me-nots vine across the surface of each of the three loops that are wreathed together, adding another emblematic element to the already figurative love knot.  One small diamond winks from the center, adding the tiniest bit of sparkle.  The back of the brooch features a foldover bail, allowing this beauty to be worn on a chain.  Make it yours for just $725.00.

If you’re looking for something special, look no further.  Our cases are overflowing with vintage finds.  For Sweetest Day or any old day…  the answer is always Joden.

Pick of the Week – Volume 19

by

Joden Girl

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

This sweet little treat was highlighted in our holiday gift guide for 2019.  Made in a subtle three-stone style, it has all the earmarks of a quick-seller –

  • All aglow with the shine of 14 karat rose gold, this is a true beauty.
  • Delicate styling (including three tiny halos) makes this gem perfect for any hand.
  • A classic round brilliant diamond sits center stage, bringing the bling to this ring. 

I have to wonder…  why hasn’t it sold?  Perhaps you’re thinking it’s the color of the metal.  Just a couple of years ago, I might have agreed with you.  I was certain that rose gold was going to be a passing fancy, a trend.  There have only been a handful of times in jewelry history where this pink-hued metal reigned supreme.  Admittedly, not every customer who comes through the door is looking for it, however rose gold is still a very popular request here at Joden.  

Maybe your guess is that it’s the design.  Typically, I am not a halo girl – but there’s something about this ring.  It’s so charming!  Often halos seem to swallow up the center stone, detracting from it’s inherent beauty.  But in this case, those dainty diamond circles add just a touch of sparkle in all the right places – they enhance that .71 carat round brilliant diamond to perfection.

All of this has me thinking that the only possible reason that this ring hasn’t sold must be the price!  It’s been certified by the International Gemological Institute of America, declaring the retail replacement value to be $6,125.00.  

Let’s crunch the numbers –

  • International Gemological Institute of America Value:  $6,125.00
  • Original Joden Price:  $4,590.00
  • Pick of the Week Price:  $3,750.00

Hop on over to our website and check it out for yourself.  With the new unbelievable pricing, this enchantress won’t last long!
