Joe’s Special Box – Volume 131

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

One of the most sought after pieces that we have at Joden are vintage wedding bands.  The little darlings are in high demand and short supply.  Whether you have a modern halo diamond engagement ring or an Edwardian filigree beauty – either pairs perfectly with the charming details and classic designs of antique bands.  

The versatility knows no bounds…  stack them up, wear them individually.  Wedding ring, thumb ring, pinky ring…  you can wear a dainty band on any or every finger.  Our unique collection offers selections in yellow gold, white gold, platinum or two tone.  Some feature diamonds while others offer enchanting engraving.  My favorites are the one that still have messages inscribed inside from the original wearers.  

This little number got me from the word go.  Perfectly petite, this ring centers of a series of milgrain-edged diamond settings.  Each tiny square features a single-cut diamond in the center – these five stones offer a hint of sparkle.  Additional details include small pierced openings on each shoulder as well as crisp engraving and a groove etched into the base of the ring, creating great visual texture.  

The original metal hallmark remains bold inside the ring, noting that it is made from 10% Iridium Platinum.  Too sweet to beat, this Edwardian band from Joe’s Special Box is priced at $725.00.  Pick up the phone or stop by the store – this antique gem won’t last long.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 105

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

As a purveyor of fine antique and estate jewelry, we sell a myriad of vintage engagement rings.  There have been a few Victorian pieces, but there’s a definite sweet spot for Edwardian and Art Deco beauties.  Our clients can’t seem to resist the fine details…  the hand-engraved patterns, the pierced designs, all accented by tiny diamond trim.  Each one is a perfect storm of loveliness.  Even my own engagement ring is an authentic original from the 1920’s. 

As enamored as I am of these diamond-centered gems, my heart belongs to another… the other half, the counterpart.  I am a sucker for old wedding bands.  This sweet little number from Joe’s Special Box is currently hovering at the top of my list.  Made in the 1950’s, this two tone charmer is just TOO good!  

The entire framework and shank of the ring are made from 14 karat yellow gold.  Artfully arranged across the top is the game-changer…  a stylized white gold bow.  The loops and tails of the bow curve out from the center knot, each one featuring single-cut diamonds, six in total for a combined weight of .10 carat.  This hint of sparkle is perfect.  

Available on our website, it’s a steal for just $425.  Wear it alone, pair it with an engagement ring, or stack it tall with all your other favs.  Click the photos to check it out now!
