I almost hesitate to share this latest find… the last time we featured a similar piece, it created quite a stir. It sold immediately… but the inquiries about that particular ring were seemingly endless with a line of willing buyers if the initial sale fell through. As you can imagine, the original buyer loved the ring and has treasured it ever since. That was nearly a year ago… meaning that it has taken us that long to uncover another ring as sweet as that one was.

Just a few days ago, the ring pictured on the dark background came out of our shop… fresh from restoration. Shown with it’s predecessor, the similarities are striking. Both of these beauties are made from platinum in the early part of the 20th century. Both also feature a three stone style, complete with one gem fine ruby and two older cut diamonds.

New to us, this delicate darling is resplendent with a hand-pierced filigree design. The pattern swirls and whorls around the gemstone trio in the center. Weighing approximately .50 carat, this deep red ruby appears to be Burmese and is of fine quality. It is flanked by a pair of Old Mine Cut diamonds that have a combined weight of approximately .55 carat. Surrounding these stones and nestled deep within the dome-shaped ring are sixteen old cut diamonds that offer an additional .50 carat of brilliance.

In pristine condition, this ring is practically perfect in every way. Made in the heart of the Art Deco period, it’s priced at just $1,880.00. Click the photos to view it live on our website. If you love it as much as we do, do not hesitate to click the buy button. If history repeats itself, it won’t last long.

Gold chains are back in a BIG way. Everyone is crazy for lengths of karat gold. At Joden, we’ve curated a vast collection of antique and estate pieces as well as a few new additions. You may wonder why anyone would choose a vintage chain over a brand new one. The answer is all about the quality. Over the years, as the gold market has continued to climb, manufacturers have had to make sacrifices to keep jewelry at a price that is affordable for the vast majority of consumers. One of the most common ways to do so is to produce hollow link chains as opposed to solid links. While the idea is genius, unfortunately, the wear-ability and durability is far less. The craftsmanship of an estate gold chain is simply superior.

This week’s find is everything you need for your fall and winter wardrobe. Eighteen inches of 18 karat yellow and white gold, this square curb link chain does NOT disappoint. Italian made, the necklace offers a hefty weight that feels so good on the neck. It’s silky smooth and shines with every turn. Above, it is modeled by me and also by one our favorite guys, Steve! I have to say, it looks great on both of us! The versatility of this piece is absolutely amazing.

Spaced around the necklace are seven diamond segments. Each one is made from 18 karat white gold and is set with fourteen full cut diamonds. There are ninety-eight stones that have a combined weight of 1.50 carats. These small round brilliants have an average color grade of H-I and an average clarity grade of VS-SI. Bright and clean, the diamonds add visual appeal and value to the chain.

If you’re looking for a statement piece that can be worn daily – that signature treasure that you reach for time and again – this is it. With a weight of 26.9 dwt (over 41 grams) and 1.50 carats of high quality diamonds, this chain is a steal for $3,580.00. This beauty and so many more are available at Joden. If someone on your Christmas list is asking for a gold chain, Joden is the only place to shop.

What’s New – Volume One

Dana and I are always working… constantly on the lookout for the next piece, our next post. It seems like we are in a constant competition with ourselves, seeking to find the perfect item that will break down those internet barriers. Can we get 10,000 likes? Will this be the day that we reach 8000 Instagram followers?

Since we partnered nearly three years ago, Dana and I have made some big strides. Recently, more and more of you are hitting the buy button on the Joden site. With the holidays on the horizon, internet sales are sure to skyrocket. With sales pouring in – we will strive to bring you the absolute best of Joden.

This is the first edition of “What’s New” – a blog targeted at showcasing our favorite finds. This sweet little ring popped up about two months ago, and I couldn’t wait to write about it! Intricate carving decorates the shoulder portion of this 14 karat white gold Art Deco ring. Engraving is a popular element of jewelry from the 1920’s, as are the delicately beaded milgrain edges and elongated navette shape.

While each of those details are lovely, they aren’t unusual. The thing that sets this ring apart is the center. Two coffin cut black onyx stones are stacked, one on top of the other. Each one has been set with a tiny round diamond. Onyx rings were quite popular during the Art Deco era, but they almost always have one stone. Priced at just $750.00, this two stone version is unique. It’s special. And it’s new at Joden. Click the pictures to check it out on our site.
