Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

The Pick of the Week is my favorite feature blog. I adore the idea of making some of our most cherished items more affordable! Who wouldn’t love that? Without question, the diamond engagement rings have been the most popular pieces.

This week, we’re focusing on a different price point… an authentic, mint- condition Victorian ring. It’s a tiny treasure! Made from 9 karat yellow gold, with 18 karat gold gilding, this ring is perfection. I love the architectural outline… with gentle curves and bold edges. Distinctly divided into segments, this antique three stone ring is beautiful from every angle.

One rose cut diamond is set within an eight-pointed star in the center. It’s flanked by a pair of old cut rubies that are also star-set. This style was quite popular during the Victorian era, adding a bit of flair to each little gem. A pair of triangles are carefully etched into each side of the shank.

Three distinct hallmarks are stamped inside the shank of this English ring. It’s a wonderful example of fine antique jewelry. Previously priced at $850.00, this piece is available now for just $675.00!

Baubles, Bling and the Sweetest Ring

It’s easy to be awestruck by a big diamond ring; blinded by the dazzling display of light reflecting off each and every facet of that bold gem. Joden is known for diamonds that weigh over two carats each – sparklers of every shape and size, the perfect fit for every hand. We have customers across the United States – and even some in other countries who fly in just to shop our decadent array of diamonds. But don’t let those luxury rings scare you away! For every opulent jewel in our inventory there is a super sweet tiny treasure.

Dana and I have been smitten with this little beauty since we acquired it just last month. Made near the end of the Mid-Victorian period (circa 1865) from a rosy 14 karat gold, the simplicity of the design is irresistible. Nestled within a platinum bezel is an oval shaped rose cut diamond that weighs approximately .32 carat. This unique cut was inspired by the shape of a rose bud; the artful arrangement of triangular facets offers an exceptional appearance and distinctive brilliance.

The side profile reveals just a hint of design and a glorious patina that has darkened the crevices where the band meets the center. While that dark tarnish would have some running to the ultrasonic, I am in love. I’m crazy over this small detail that has taken over 150 years to develop. It speaks to the age and character of this little darling. Modestly priced at just $1,125.00… check it out on our site today.

Baubles, Bling, and an Antique Diamond Ring

In the mid to late 1800’s, girls as young as twelve were permitted to marry, although most waited until they were at least 20. That’s a bit younger than today. Nowadays, the most common age for ladies to tie the knot is about 27. In either case, I am certain that countless hours were spent dreaming of the perfect engagement ring.

No matter the era, Victorian or modern – this stunner is sure to be the cause of many oohs and aahs. Made from 14 karat gold polished to a soft rosy glow, the band is exquisitely simple. Twelve individual prongs create a delicately scalloped buttercup setting that cradles the Old European Cut diamond center to perfection. Weighing in at .80 carat, the diamond sparkles and shines from every angle.

A gently sloped shoulder splits artfully into two halves, like a pair of leaves. At the base of this botanical-inspired design is a tiny pair of spirals that flow seamlessly into the shank. I am in love with the sheer thinness of the band… it’s SO comfortable! I love a good solitaire setting – it’s tough to beat the classic elegance of it. It’s available now for just $2,890.00.

Queen Victoria’s love of diamonds began a trend that is now a tradition. Start your own traditions with an engagement ring from Joden where their motto holds true:

You can go to a museum and look, or come to Joden and touch.
