Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things
Meet my newest obsession!ย I have always been a fan of emerald-cut diamonds.ย I love the sleek lines, the elongated geometric shape and the classic style.ย But this charmer caught me by surprise.ย The center stone has ALOT of punch for the money – and it’s actually a bit of designer genius.ย This step-cut diamond looks like a one carat diamond, but actually only weighs .50 carat.ย You may be wondering, how can that be?ย As I said, the creator of this ring was a bit of a genius.ย The diamond is surrounded by a halo of high-polished 14 karat white gold.ย This thin band of metal actually makes the diamond look larger and is difficult to detect without using a loupe or magnification.ย A small straight baguette cut diamond sits to the right and left of the center stone.ย It’s a tiny yet significant detail that enhances the timeless feel of this engagement ring.ย Priced at $3500, this is the kind of piece that I love to find in Joe’s Special Box.ย I know that it will have a new life beyond Joden – some lucky girl will wear this ring for the rest of her life.ย And hopefully, she’ll pass it on to a daughter or a son.ย It will become an heirloom.ย ย
