Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling and A Collector’s Things
The winds of change are in the air. Trying to keep up with the gold market and the diamond market can be a wild ride. Sometimes, you just have to opt for something different. That is, indeed, what some couples are doing. In lieu of a traditional diamond engagement ring, these enterprising folks are diving headfirst into antique and estate jewelry to find the perfect piece. With thousands of rings in stock, Joden Jewelers offers something for everyone… like this modern beauty.
Made in the last decade or so, this unique ring would make a fantastic engagement ring. It’s made entirely of platinum – a metal that is strong and durable. The design is classic with a twist; it’s a halo set in an east/west orientation. Nestled deep in the halo are twenty-seven round brilliant diamonds that have a combined weight of approximately .50 carat. An additional twenty-seven princess cuts fill the shank of the ring from shoulder to shoulder with 1.25 carats of scintillating sparkle.
Combined, these details forge a haven for the crowning glory of this ring… an oval sapphire. Vivid orange in color; this is no ordinary piece of corundum. It’s blazes with 7.37 carats of tangerine intensity. I like to wear each of the blog pieces while I’m writing… to channel the DNA of every single one. I have to say, this one has really knocked my socks off. It glints and glimmers with every key stroke; the sparkle in this sapphire is dazzling.
Shown in profile, the opening on the side of this flush-mount ring offers an unobstructed view of the pavilion of the sapphire. This design allows light to reach the gemstone from every angle, further enhancing the shine. Because the style is flush-mount (the center stone is elevated), nearly any wedding band will sit flat against the sapphire ring. An unusual find, this colored stone beauty could also be worn on the right hand. It’s perfect for stacking with all of your favorite gold, gemstone and diamond bands. Moderately priced at $8,500.00 – it’s just SO good. Don’t sleep on this one, it won’t last long.
