Joe’s Special Box Luxury Edition – Volume 8

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and  A Collector’s Things

“An inessential, desirable item which is expensive or difficult to obtain…” 

This is the definition of luxury in the dictionary.  For the past several months we have been entertaining stunning, one-of-a-kind jewels that are undoubtedly desirable.  Each of them could also be considered expensive (although that is a relative term) however, none are difficult to obtain.  The staff at Joden provides the absolute best in customer service.  With two graduate gemologists, two master bench jewelers and several jewelry professionals…  the experience at Joden is like no other.

Made from a delicious combination of 14 karat yellow gold and platinum, this fine Edwardian ring is a rare find.  A lace-like web weaves a pattern of trefoils and subtly beaded edges.  The upper portion is round, mimicking the shape of the center stone…  a cerulean blue cabochon sapphire.  The silky smooth surface of the stone rises from the ring and is surrounded by tiny sparkling diamonds.  Weighing nearly 1.50 carats, this sapphire pairs equally well with the warmth of the yellow gold and the scalloped platinum edges.  Thirty-six diamonds add .60 carats of twinkling brilliance to this early 1900’s ring.

With every element singing with Edwardian elegance…  this gem is available for $4,500.00.  If it strikes your fancy, come to our showroom at 144 South Broad Street, downtown Grove City.  Our staff is friendly – welcoming you to not just gaze upon this beauty but to slide it onto your finger and appreciate it for yourself.  

The jewelry at Joden is surpassed only by the quality of the people that work there.  Each of us was hand-selected by Joe.  We love what we do and enjoy every opportunity to share it with you.  For more than fifty years, our motto has held true…

“You can go to a museum and look, or you can come to us and touch.”

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 122-B

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

On February 9, 1840, Albert gifted Victoria with a stunning and now iconic brooch.  Featuring a glorious sapphire center (the weight of this stone has never been revealed to the public!) surrounded by twelve diamonds, it was her “something blue” for the wedding ceremony.  In the years since, Queen Elizabeth has been spotted wearing this historic heirloom.  

141 years later on February 3, Charles proposed to Diana with a ring that bears a strong resemblance to the brooch.  Chosen from a catalog at Garrard, this was not a custom piece but rather a ring available for anyone to purchase.  It was rumored that Diana selected the ring because of it’s striking resemblance to Victoria’s famous brooch.  

This week, from Joe’s Special Box, we have an antique ring that is giving us all the feels.  It bears a strong likeness to both pieces…

Made from 14 karat yellow gold, this tiny treasure boasts an oval 1.00 carat natural blue sapphire in the center.  This deep azure beauty is completely surrounded by a ring of twelve Old Mine Cut diamonds that have a combined weight of .45 carat.  Made in the 1880’s, near the end of the Victorian period, this ring is a dainty size 3.  

If you have an affinity for royal style and would like to nab a similar piece for yourself – hop on over to our website.  Priced at just $1,200, this precious prize won’t last long!
