Tied Up In Knots

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

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!

It’s Not Just For Tuesday

Baubles, Bling and Turquoise Things

With over 112,455 posts, #Turquoisetuesday has become quite a popular trend on Instagram. On the third day of the week, my feed is guaranteed to be filled with picture upon picture of this captivating bold blue gem. Occasionally, Dana and I hop on board… sharing some of our favorite turquoise Joden finds.

And then we uncovered this beauty. Too special to be identified by a simple hashtag, this baby was destined to be a blog all on its own. Ethereal elegance exudes from this lovely Edwardian bracelet.

Seven inches in length, platinum from end to end, this dainty line of twelve leaf-like links create romantic ambiance. Each one is hand-set with eleven rose cut diamonds. These 132 gems have a combined weight of 1.00 carat. Set back to back, each pair features a bezel set European cut diamond in the center (six stones in all) for an additional .90 carat.

Jewelry was the finishing touch of every Edwardian’s wardrobe. This opulent era was noted for delicate designs and a predominantly white appearance – platinum, white gold, diamonds and pearls. That’s what sets our bracelet apart from so many others… it presents a pop of color! Six cabochon Persian turquoise beads are interspersed between the diamond links. Each bold blue stone presents with a high polish finish, shining nearly as bright as the diamonds.

Made in 1905, this Edwardian enchantress is in near perfect condition… almost like it was never worn. What a travesty that would be! Jewelry was never intended to be left in the safe deposit box, your jewelry box or the package it came in. Jewelry is meant to be worn and appreciated, created and given to bring joy. Put a little happiness into your day with this bracelet for just $5,850.00.

**Psst! Call for additional details, this beauty isn’t on our website yet!**
