Never Underestimate A Classic

Quarantine has me doing some things I would never have thought I would do. The hubs and I have been shopping online for a new sofa. You cannot purchase a couch without sitting on it, checking the comfort factor and feeling the fabric. You just can’t. And yet, here we are.

We made it through exactly three episodes of The Tiger King – and for me, even that was excruciating. I found myself nodding off many times. It just isn’t my kind of show. However, as the days go on… we may have to endure another round or two.

Perhaps you were throwing around the idea of getting engaged before the world turned upside down. Now you find yourself wondering when Joden Jewelers will open so that you can come in to select the perfect ring. While I don’t know the answer to that question… I do have the ring!

Check out this little gem… a platinum six-prong diamond solitaire. Inscribed inside are the magic words – “Tiffany & Co”. What girl hasn’t dreamed of opening that blue box (Yes, of course, we have THE box!)? Nestled inside is this beauty featuring a bright white half carat round diamond center. It’s a classic. Priced right at $2,250.00 – it’s also within your reach!

Here’s the BEST part. It’s still paired with it’s original mate – a simple band. Like the engagement ring, this band also has words inscribed inside; but it isn’t a brand. It’s a date… “July 3, ’74”. Not antique – but definitely vintage perfection. This tiny bit of heaven is priced at $600.00.

Two months ago, buying an engagement ring online was probably inconceivable. I’m sure you had a plan, and I’m sure it was a good plan. But times have changed. And this ring is just too good to pass up. Call us today at 800-747-7552 to make it yours.

Stay safe and healthy, my friends. Shop from home.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 109

Ah, Edwardian. Sigh. It’s just so swoon-worthy. Albeit brief, this period in jewelry history produced some of the most beautiful pieces of the 1900’s. Characterized by intricate lacy designs and glittering diamonds, jewels of the early 20th century are more than just collectible; they’re also some of the most wearable pieces of antique jewelry. These gems will blend seamlessly into your wardrobe like your favorite pair of jeans.

A fourteen karat yellow gold shank is crowned with a palladium setting featuring a cluster of nine European Cut diamonds. These sparkling beauties are carefully nestled into a cluster style that seems to combine botanical elements with a subtle honeycomb pattern. Totaling more than 1.50 carats, each diamond is accented by a milgrain edge. It’s a technique achieved by utilizing a knurling tool to create tiny beads of palladium in perfect rows and is found often in antique jewelry.

This Edwardian stunner is ultra low profile, with the top of the ring sitting on the finger. Streamlined styles like this are timeless and able to worn every day. Moderately priced at $3,250, this ring is available now from Joe’s Special Box.

Call 1-800-747-7552 to make it yours.

The Easter Egg

This week, Holy Week, children all around the world will be decorating eggs. These eggs will be dyed and painted. Some will have names and pictures drawn with crayon while others will have a brightly colored array of stickers on them. Little boys and girls will carefully tuck them into baskets filled with grass; anxiously awaiting that special someone… Jesus.

But Easter eggs aren’t just for coloring and eating. This age old symbol of new life and rebirth has been used to celebrate this joyous holiday for hundreds of years. The hard shell is thought to represent the sealed tomb where the body of Jesus was laid after the crucifixion. The breaking of that shell symbolizes the opening of the tomb and the resurrection of Christ.

I couldn’t think of a more appropriate piece to share with you today than this sweet little glass egg. This incredibly rare piece is a favorite of Joe’s. When I asked him about it, he said it’s the only one he ever saw. He feels it’s probably French and dates back to the Art Nouveau period. The outer shell separates into two halves, a base and a lid. The surface is etched with a leaf-like pattern. When the lid is lifted, this amber colored center is revealed.

It’s a ring! A lovely golden colored glass ring! It features a high rounded top with a pattern of white enameled flowered cut into the surface. These five-petaled blossoms encircle the top, with their stems vining down the shoulders. It’s absolutely enchanting. This diminutive beauty is a size 5.25 and much like Cinderella’s slipper, it must be a perfect fit – available now for $680.00.

Jesus said to her “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;

and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” -John 11:25
