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!

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 119

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

The timeless beauty of yellow gold is back in a big way.  With warm rich tones, this buttery metal is everything that you’ve been dreaming of.  Combine it with crisp white gold trim – the partnership sings in harmony.  The striking duo of 14 karat white and yellow gold has been popular for more than one hundred years.  The Edwardian Era was noted for some of the most remarkable two tone jewelry of the last century.

This antique beauty from Joe’s Special Box is one of the prettiest engagement rings that I have seen in quite some time.  It packs a powerful punch for a ring with less than a half carat center stone.  This .40 carat Old European Cut diamond sparkles within the hexagon-shaped top.  The unique triple-banded milgrain border amps up the volume in this not-so-simple solitaire.  

Sitting tall on the finger, this bit of bling features a filigree accented head and an intricately engraved band.  The etched pattern spans the entire top half of the ring; the bottom half gleams with a plain, high-polish shine.  The half-round style offers the ability to fit this gem to nearly any finger without altering the beauty of the engraving.  Tapering gracefully from the center stone, the ring is absolutely stunning on the hand. 

With so many charming details – you must be wondering about the price of this ring.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that it can be yours for just $950!  All that beauty for under $1000 and available exclusively at Joden.

Tickle Your Filigree Fancy

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and  Filigree Things

Trends come and go in the jewelry world.  Some of them are gone before we have a chance to enjoy them and others become instant classics – like these navette rings.  These elongated filigree rings are highly sought after and VERY desirable.  Every time we post a photo of one of these ethereal beauties on social media, it blows up. 

These two gems are both from the Art Deco era (1915-1935), one a bit earlier than the other.  Both rings are made from 18 karat white gold and both feature intricate filigree patterns.  

Five Old European Cut diamonds create a vertical line down the center of the ring with one additional stone on each side.  These seven diamonds have a combined weight of 1.00 carat.  These gems glitter in the center of a very architectural, classic Art Deco setting.  Milgrain beaded lines create a gridwork in the background, while the outer edges are lined with complex patterns of engraving.  This engraving is still crisp and in excellent condition.  Made in the 1920’s, this dazzling beauty is moderately priced at $2,200.00.

Then, we have this little charmer…  With an hourglass shape, this ring is oh-so-feminine.  Three bright white diamonds are fitted to the middle of the ring.  They draw the eye, creating a focal point.  Engraved into the top of each shoulder is a flower, complete with stem and leaves.  The background pattern of this antique is a woven wirework of loops and swirls.  Priced at $1,340 – this dainty ring won’t last long.  

If you’ve been pining for a navette ring – these are just two of the unique choices that we have available at Joden.  With distinct details, each one presents an exclusive look that is entirely you.  This year, treat yourself to something special – an heirloom ring that will continue to be handed down in your family for generations yet to come.
