Joe’s Special Box – Volume 31

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Vintage diamond engagement rings are always in demand at Joden.  One of the things we hear most often is “I don’t want a ring that looks like everyone else’s.”  Our customers crave uniqueness and individuality.  Pieces made during the Edwardian and Art Deco periods offer just that…  quality with distinction, real style.  Often times, these little beauties never make it past Joe’s Special Box.  He scoops them up because he also knows their value and rarity.  It’s becoming more and more difficult to find these rings.

Earlier this week, I found this gem tucked into a tray of new purchases in Joe’s office.  Coincidentally, this is exactly how I stumbled upon my own engagement ring nearly twenty years ago.  It was just laying on a tray in the office…  waiting for me.  After all these years, I love my ring just as much as I did the day I got it.  Here’s my ring and wedding band…  and also another picture of this week’s featured piece.  Alot of similarities there, right?

  

Made entirely of platinum at the end of the Art Deco period, this sweet little ring caught my eye immediately!  I love the simplistic three-stone appeal of it.  Set with a .66 carat round diamond in the center, and flanked by a pair of single cut diamonds, it’s timeless perfection – priced at $3,500.00.

Just as my ring was waiting for me. this engaging enchantress is at Joden – waiting for you.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 27

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Simply stunning.  This Art Deco beauty is everything you’ve ever wanted in a diamond ring.  Let’s start with that killer Old European Cut center stone…  weighing 1.55 carats, this gem was graded by the Gemological Institute of America.  The diamond is situated inside a unique style halo…  

A circle of eight platinum tulip shapes form a one-of-a-kind frame, each flower set with a single-cut diamond.  Interspersed between the blossoms are millegrain edged bars that form the prongs of the ring.  Cascading down each shoulder are a series of three half-moon segments in decreasing sizes… also set with single-cut diamonds.  The culmination of these details is a 1920’s dream.   

Vintage jewelry lovers everywhere will be swooning for this piece from Joe’s Special Box.  Priced at just over $13,000.00 – this is one ring you don’t want to miss.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 25

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

There’s no question that the most popular vintage jewelry at Joden is from the Art Deco period.  The iconic platinum and white gold jewelry from the 1920-1930’s is highly sought after and offers unique style elements that can’t be found in modern jewelry.  Camphor glass is one such example of this.  It looks like a piece of frosted crystal and is usually set with a singular diamond in the center.  This trend was often combined with fine filigree work to create delicately beautiful jewels.  

This bracelet is a stellar example of both design details – three identical pieces of camphor glass are evenly spaced between thirteen lacy filigree links.  I love the starburst design that seems to spread out from the diamond center of each glass piece.  It’s quite lovely against the skin…  allowing the color to shine through.  This particular bracelet can be found (as you may have guessed) in Joe’s Special Box and is moderately priced at $2500.00.
