Baubles, Bling, and a Super Sweet Ring

If ever there were a perfect mother’s ring for me – this is it! My boys were born in April and May, making their birthstones diamond and emerald, respectively. I have never wanted a family ring (at least not in the old-fashioned sense) and I am not usually a fan of emeralds. BUT seriously! This is a showstopping, eye-popping beauty. It practically jumps off the finger.

The classic two-stone twin bypass design is done to perfection with a pair of marquise brilliant cut stones. First, we have a gem fine bright green emerald (probably Columbian). This is a natural stone – no lab-grown emeralds for us! This color can only be described as emerald green – and the clarity! Not a spot to be seen! This quality is rare, and quite hard to find. Not to be outdone, check out that diamond. It weighs in at 1.09 carats. The high white tone is the ideal complement to the glowing green of the emerald. What a combination! Ten baguette cut diamonds arch up each side of the band, creating an elegant swirl of sparkle.

Made entirely of platinum, this bauble brings the bling. It’s from our estate collection – pre-owned, but not antique. Most likely made in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s, this is one cocktail ring you don’t want to miss. Fancy shaped diamonds are making quite a splash this year, but there’s no doubt the marquise is reigning supreme. Add this one to your wardrobe today… it’s priced to sell at $17,500. Call me for additional details. Dial 800.747.7552 and ask for Joden Girl. ♥

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Nine years. That’s how long the Edwardian Period lasted. From 1901-1910 – this era produced some of the most beautiful and highly sought after jewelry of all time. In the early days, platinum masterpieces featured a yellow gold base, like this ethereal gem…

A stunning combination of Old European Cut diamonds, Rose Cut diamonds, and one natural pearl create pure magic. The seven larger stones have a combined weight of 1.50 carats, while an additional 39 rose cut diamonds amp up the bling factor. Every knife-edge is hand decorated with a small beaded ridge technique referred to as milgrain. It softens the overall look of this early 20th century necklet which is suspended from a light platinum chain. The jewels from this time are often compared to petit point embroidery due to their delicate and lacy appearance. Perfect for a bride on her wedding day or simply an evening on the town, make this beauty yours for just $3850. Available now in Joe’s Special Box.

Baubles, Bling, and a 1950’s Ring

Turn back the clock… let’s go back to the ’50’s. Elvis was on the radio, gas was .18 cents a gallon, and no one had ever heard of cell phones. A new house cost about $8500 and a new car was just $1500. Families were moving out of the city and into the suburbs. There was a 12″ black & white TV in every living room, a Diners Club card in every wallet, and milk was delivered to your doorstep. It sounds… dreamy.

Call me old-fashioned or maybe even crazy, but it seems like a little piece of heaven. Homemaking was a career in and of itself. Children were delivered to school – on foot as most families only had one car if at all. Then it was on to food shopping (done daily as everything was fresh) – women visited the butcher, the grocer, and the green grocer. Then laundry, cleaning, sewing and knitting – just to name a few! These women took great pride in their home and families. Many times I have lamented the fact that I was born in the wrong decade.

I can see myself in a classic floral print shirtwaist dress (with an apron over top), sensible flats, and this ring on my left hand. The wider width and larger diamond center have the appeal of a two piece bridal set wrapped up in the simplicity of a single ring. The style of this piece gives a nod to Art Deco style with a decidedly modern twist. The center boasts a bright .33 carat round brilliant diamond. An alternating pattern of leaves and diagonal strips create a lacy pierced design. Twelve more round diamonds are sprinkled throughout this Mid-Century Modern gem – adding an additional .30 carats to this beauty.

I am a smitten kitten, no doubt. There are so many possibilities… wear it as an engagement ring or a wedding band. It makes an ideal anniversary band or even a right-hand ring. Add it to your favorite stack or wear it alone for effortless appeal.

Here’s the BEST part… it won’t break the bank! Originally priced at $1,650 – this ring has been price reduced for a quick sale. It’s available now for just $980! Yep – you read that right… .63 carats of vintage bling for less than a thousand dollars. Make it yours today. **Update** This ring has sold.
