Baubles, Bling, and The Latest Things

My favorite part of Christmas morning is the stockings. When I was little, I loved digging in to the fluffy white fur at the top of my plush red stocking to see what riches had been carefully tucked inside. Now, as a mom, I adore searching for the perfect treats for my children’s stockings. When they were little, it was Matchbox cars, Lego mini figures and books of gummy Lifesavers. Now that my boys are older, it’s more like beef jerky, lottery tickets and gift cards.

The stocking is the ideal spot to hide an unexpected bit of Christmas joy… like a piece of jewelry. At Joden, we have trinkets and treasures for everyone. Whether they be small silver earrings or drool-worthy diamond studs – our staff is here to help you find something for each name on your list. These sweet Victorian rings are just a few of our favorite finds!

Each one of these little darlings is made from 10 karat yellow gold in the late Victorian era. With an assortment of brightly colored simulated gemstones, these rings are sure to elicit “oohs” and “aahs”. There are red stones, green stones and even one in orange. Trimmed out with seed pearls or natural moonstones, each one is special and unique. Priced from $225-$250 – they’re going to be available soon at joden.com.

What’s One More?

Baubles, Bling and a Perfect Ring

I am going to be brutally honest. Sometimes the pieces of jewelry run together, one after the other. It’s a seemingly endless array of platinum diamond rings, gold chains, colored stone earrings… the list goes on. Our inventory is vast, boasting thousands of items from the simple to the sublime. After twenty years of jewelry, it takes something special to catch my eye. On more than one occasion, I have commented that I just cannot write about another platinum diamond ring.

Without a doubt, those very things… sweet little vintage diamond rings get more comments than anything else we post on Facebook or Instagram. Our followers are gaga for a platinum setting glittering from top to bottom with diamonds. You love them all… from Edwardian to Art Deco and even Mid Century Modern. So, when this dainty darling found it’s way to my desk, I couldn’t resist. After all, what’s one more?

Made during the 1950’s, this beauty focuses on a modern cut round diamond that weighs approximately .60 carat. This stone is near colorless (G, to be precise) with a clarity grade of VS. It’s set with angular L-shaped prongs in the corners that give the stone a squarish appearance. Keeping the geometric theme, three straight baguette cut diamonds are channel set on each side of the center. These six diamonds have a combined weight of .18 carat. Eighteen round diamonds create upper and lower borders on this Mid Century ring, adding another .18 carat of bling. Made entirely of platinum, this ring is priced at $2,980.00 and is available now on joden.com… just in time for the holidays!

What’s New – Volume Three

This new addition stopped me in my tracks – and after more than twenty years in the jewelry business, that’s quite a feat. I couldn’t wait to share it with you. Made in the 1940’s, this Retro ring is a true statement piece.

The physical size alone is impressive. The ring measures over an inch from top to bottom and is nearly as wide. It’s striking from every angle. The structure of the ring, crafted from 14 karat yellow gold, offers geometric patterns in the gallery wires. The openings are a series of repeating triangles with contoured sides. This detail is not visible from the top, only from the side and rear view. I’m a sucker for the fine points that elevate a ring from good to great.

Set atop this superb structure is the real star of the show. An elongated hexagon-cut amethyst offers a soft lavender hue and subtle sparkle. Often larger stones are oval shaped or emerald cut. This unusual silhouette bring visual appeal to this vintage find. Bezel set and stretching from knuckle to knuckle, the pale purple gem weighs approximately 20 carats. The lighter tone of the amethyst is another noteworthy characteristic. Darker more saturated gems are generally favored, but the pastel tone of this amethyst is an impeccable choice for this jewel. It’s accented by fourteen diamonds nestled into white gold trim at the north, south, east and west sides of the center.

Newly acquired, this ring is priced at $1,675.00. Ideal on an index or middle finger, this ring is available on our site now.
