Baubles, Bling and Throwback Things

At Joden, we have a lot of jewelry… like staggering, phenomenally large, and sometimes overwhelming quantities of baubles and bling.  While that is certainly a bonus, it comes with a drawback or two.  With thousands of pieces in our inventory, it’s easy to become immune to the individual beauty of each gem and jewel.  Add in nearly twenty years of personal experience in the jewelry field – and you can begin to imagine just how much jewelry I have seen.  

Guests at Joden are always mentioning how hard it must be for us to work with so much fabulous and oh-so-tempting jewelry.  Do they often wonder if we ever manage to take home a paycheck?!?!  The answer to that question is yes, of course…  although they might be slightly diminished due to a particularly alluring piece!  ♥  

With such bounty at our fingertips, Dana and I are constantly on the lookout for the next hot item to share with all of you.  Some jewels are ideal for a quick Instagram post while others are more suited to the blog, like this beauty.  The first time I saw it, I pulled it out of the bag.  After slowly turning it over in my hand, I slid off my own ring stack to slip this on.  I was enamored.

Made in the 1940’s, this ring speaks with quiet elegance.  Like most things from the Retro period, it features a two-tone style.  14 karat yellow gold with just a whisper of a rosy glow is perfectly complemented by cool platinum trim.  The center stone, a .65 carat European cut diamond shimmers within a classic square setting.  It’s a real gem…  H in color and SI2 in clarity.  Four single-cut diamonds are nestled into the shoulders, two on each side of the center.  Adding a bit of subtle charm are four delicately engraved leaves.  This is not a ring that knocks you over the head but rather sings softly to your heart.  It’s timeless.

If you’re looking for an engagement ring that has stood the test of time, look no more.  Originally priced at $3,320 – this ring has just been price reduced to $2,380!  Call us for additional details on this steal of a deal!

Pick of the Week – Volume 33

Joden Girl

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

One of the hottest trends for engagement rings in 2021 is unique details…  subtle nuances that make your ring a bit more special.  When we’re working with guests, one of the top things we hear is “I want something different.  I don’t want a ring that looks like everyone else’s.”  At Joden, the answer to that request could be a vintage ring, but it could also be a modern piece.  

This super sweet bridal set has appealed to me since the first time I saw it.  With many little details, it’s bound to be a perfect fit for someone!  Both the engagement ring and wedding band are constructed from 14 karat white gold; they sit nicely side by side, no contouring needed.  Both rings highlight a triple-ribbed band with a slightly raised center.  This is just the kind of uncommon aspect that I like – it’s textural and refined.  

At first glance, you may think “It’s another halo ring.”  It sure is.  But this halo is small and dainty, with the edge fitted slightly under the center stone.  The overall shape is scalloped, like the petals of a flower.  Sitting pretty in the center is a bright .70 carat diamond.  This round brilliant beauty is rated G-H in color and VS1-2 in clarity…  not your average diamond! 

My hands-down favorite part of this set is the split-shank element on the shoulder.  Resembling an east/west oriented marquise – it reminds me of my very own ring (shown below)! 

As always, this Pick of the Week is being offered with new, unbelievable pricing.  Let’s break it down.

Appraised Value (see IGI Report in the website listing) – $7,035.00

Original Website Price – $6,125.00

New, Unbelievable Price – JUST $4,150.00!

If you or someone you know is looking for a classically styled engagement duo with unique details, click on any of the photos and hop on over to our site.  This updated pricing is available for a limited time only – don’t wait one more second!  Add to cart and make your 2021 dreams come true.

Feeling Fancy Friday

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and the Finer Things

After months of staying home, and for many of us – working from home with nothing to do but migrate from the kitchen to the family room… we are finally able to go out and enjoy dinner in a restaurant.  This simple pleasure that we once took for granted now feels luxurious.  It just might get us out of our pajama pants and into something a bit more special (real pants…  with a belt?  What?!?)  

If you’re making weekend plans that include leaving the house and perhaps even a pair of heels…  then this piece is a MUST HAVE.  It’s Edwardian finery at it’s absolute best with high-end craftsmanship that is simply impossible to find in modern jewelry.  

The overall shape resembles a modified heart with softly rounded edges and an exaggerated point at the bottom.  Made entirely of platinum, this pendant features lacy details that create an opulent setting.  Tiny curved wires form the base upon which the vines and leaves are set.  There are seventy-three individual rose cut diamonds nestled into each delicate curl giving this ethereal masterpiece a decidedly botanical appeal.  

A bold center stone presents an unexpected surprise.  Most Edwardian jewelry is subtle and understated, commonly set with white diamonds and pearls for a monochromatic look.  With rich purple hues and six sharp angles, this hexagonal amethyst is exactly what you need in your life.  This early 20th century beauty combines the best of both worlds, offering antique details and vibrant hues.  The color of royalty, amethyst is the birthstone for February.  But let’s not limit it  – this gem is ideal for anyone audacious enough to wear it!

If you’ve visited our showroom in downtown Grove City, you may have spied this stunner in our Art Deco case.  It’s a wonderful crossover piece.  Call it late Edwardian or early Art Deco.  We prefer that you call it yours!  It pairs perfectly with virtually any ensemble – casual or fancy.  Versatility is key in today’s world – wear this on a short chain at the base of your throat or style it on a long chain.  The intense color of the amethyst would make this an ideal addition to your favorite neck mess.  The possibilities are as endless as your imagination.  

Originally priced at $7,650.00 – this plush purple pendant is now enjoying a $2000 price drop! 

Take it home now for just $5,650.00!
