Conversion Crazed

Baubles, Bling, and a Bow Fling

Recently, I introduced you to the idea of converting your unworn jewelry into something fabulous… something you’ll find yourself reaching for time after time. One of my favorite examples of up-cycling jewels and gems is this bow pin necklace –

Once it was a little brooch, laying in a box… not being worn. Just look at it now! Who wouldn’t want to own this? At Joden, we have an entire collection of conversion jewelry – and it’s been flying out the door.

So… when I stumbled across this little beauty, you can imagine my thoughts! First – just look at details –

It’s a daisy petal pattern! And we all know how I feel about daisies. Love love love! Just look at those diamond encrusted petals. Each element is incredible – and it’s entirely constructed from platinum. Set into that stunning filigree are 98 diamonds with a combined weight of 1.75 carats. Beaded millegrain lines and soft scalloped edges complete the look. Those Edwardians sure knew how to do things right.

As soon as I saw this piece, I asked Joe about it. He and I had the same idea – it has to be a necklace. Made in a bow-tie style shape, it will be adorable nestled into the hollow at the base of the throat. And so… this brooch is hanging out in our state of the art shop, accompanied by a little platinum chain. Our expert craftsman will breathe new life into it… stay tuned for the grand unveiling!

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

If you’ve ever visited our showroom at 144 South Broad Street, perhaps you know the secret held inside this small yet elaborately detailed box. Ornately decorated with filigree-like pattern of swirls, this dainty piece has been delighting everyone who sees it for more than two hundred years. What could the secret be? Is it a jewelry box? Perhaps a snuff box? Let’s use the ring and pull open the bottom drawer…

Nestled inside, is this tiny key… it’s handle is crafted to resemble a little bird. Hmm.. a clue! Any guesses? We have a bird in a box – and that’s almost exactly what this piece is known as, except for one missing word. It’s a Singing Bird Box.

You just want to listen to it over and over! It’s charming! Wind him up using the key, then slide the button on the front to the right. A miniature automaton bird pops up, he dances left and right flapping his wings and tail… all the while he sings a beautiful song. And then, when he’s done – he pops back inside and the lid closes. It’s truly magical! Come visit him today.

Glittering Gold

Baubles, Bling, and a Tacori Ring

Timeless and classic – this 18 karat yellow gold ring by Tacori is perfection from every angle. With a round diamond center stone weighing .70 carat and a single line of square diamonds down each shoulder – this ring is everything!

Trademark Tacori details on the edges and shank add just the right amount of gingerbread to this already beautiful piece. Every bit of this ring is made from yellow gold – it’s the ideal complement to the warm body color of the center diamond. Many people think that every girl wants a bright, white diamond… that just isn’t true! In fact, many women are drawn to a stone that has a bit of color, like this one.

Not only do many ladies prefer a warm diamond, we have recently discovered that more and more girls are leaning toward the sultry rich tones of yellow gold. And it’s not just about color. They are also loving the low maintenance lifestyle of gold in it’s natural hue. Unlike white gold, the shiny finish of a yellow gold ring is easily restored by polishing – no rhodium (or “dipping”) required.

Moderately priced at just $3700, this designer bling is the ultimate choice for modern brides in search of enduring elegance.
