Put A Ring On It

 Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Holiday Things

Just a couple days ago, I woke up to a winter wonderland… a soft pillow-y blanket of snow covered everything in sight.  That clinched it – the holidays are nearly here.  Let the shopping begin!   

With a year like 2020, I have to wonder what that might look like.  I am a BIG fan of Black Friday and have eagerly gone out in the wee hours of the morning year after year in search of the perfect gifts and the best bargains.  Doorbuster deals draw budget-conscious buyers by the thousands.  Many retailers are prepping for online sales – definitely a smart bet.  

At Joden, we’re offering a hybrid model…  a little bit of everything!  Dana has been loading the website with new arrivals and Pick of the Week values.  Our Instagram and Facebook pages are overflowing with vintage treasures and modern gems.  

Earrings are always a popular choice; this week, we have three pair sure to please anyone on your list.  I am loving this unbeatable combination of 14 karat rose gold with rich purple amethysts.  These stud-style earrings are anything but simple.  One hundred and twenty-eight round brilliant diamonds surround those bright center stones in perfect halos for a combined weight of .40 carat.  Signed “Zeghani”, these beauties are available for just $880.00.

Next up – a unique twist on the classic halo design.  These 14 karat white gold sparklers feature a lovely pair of emerald cut green tourmaline centers.  These deep green stones are ensconced within a rectangular ring of diamonds complete with a small diamond cap.  There are fifty diamonds in all for a combined weight of .50 carat.  Add a bit of sparkle to your earlobes with these charmers for just $980.00.

The elegant setting on these 14 karat white gold ruby earrings is everything.  Tiny beaded swirls create a vintage-inspired filigree look complete with not one but two diamond halos…  one on the top and another on the outer edge!  This attention to detail is exactly what makes these earrings shine.  These precious gems bring the bling for $1700.00.

These new arrivals haven’t made our website just yet… for more information, stop in to our 144 South Broad Street showroom.  Or, you could take advantage of our latest service…  a personal shopper.  Holiday Concierge Service is available at the click of a button.  Our experts will send full color photos, detailed descriptions and pricing to your phone or email.  We’ll box, gift-wrap and ship your Joden gifts anywhere in the United States at no additional charge!

A Pop of Pink

 Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Pink Things

October is breast cancer awareness month.  Pink has become so much more than just a color.  It’s a battle cry and quiet reverence at the same time.  Many survivors and family members proudly wear this pale hue.  It’s a celebration of the lives saved and a way of honoring those that we’ve lost. 

Made at the turn of the 20th century, this Edwardian beauty brings the pink with an elegant flair.  This short era (1901-1910) marked by the reign of King Edward VII represents one of the most iconic looks in jewelry history.  Early pieces, like this one, were entirely hand-fabricated.  Each swirl and curved line was individually cut, rolled and assembled.  

A base of yellow gold was used as a vehicle to introduce a new and initially under-valued metal into the market – platinum.  The value of gold was widely accepted – but platinum was unknown.  The combination of the two, layered one on top of the other proved to be an unbeatable combination.  Close inspection of this delicate pendant reveals a special kind of patina.  The artisan utilized yellow gold based solder to weld each piece together.  Over time, those solder joints have yellowed providing provenance and authenticating it as a true antique. 

A stylized heart shape is constructed from botanical branches featuring tiny leaves and a pair of triple-looped bows.  Primitive rose cut diamonds catch the light with just a hint of sparkle and one small natural pearl is fitted to the lower portion.  A duo of pink zircons provide a pop of color in an otherwise monochromatic theme.  Each of these stones is set within a yellow gold bezel.  Milgrain beaded edges finish the overall look with classic Edwardian style.  Moderately priced at $2,550, this utterly feminine jewel will delight anyone lucky enough to wear it.  

Honor someone special in your life with this antique gem available exclusively at Joden.
