Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Nothing is more classic than a strand of pearls. From graduations to weddings – pearls are timeless. Occasionally, even the most classic designs can be improved upon… a modern day innovator can take a time-honored style to the next level.

Galatea is one such pioneer. A ground-breaking concept came to life when Chi Huynh first began carving intricate designs and patterns into the surface of opalescent pearls.

These Tahitian beauties have each been hand-carved with a repeating and interlocking pattern. This unique concept adds an additional layer of interest to the purplish-gray iridescent nacre of each pearl. Measuring 10 to 11mm each, this 18 inch strand opens and closes using a hidden magnetic clasp.

These gems have been on our site for $4,500 – but now, with the magic of Pick of the Week pricing… they’re now available for just $3,150!

For a more minimalist look, consider this single carved pearl pendant from Galatea. One 10mm golden pearl has been sculpted into the Lucky Daisy design and then set with a sparkling round brilliant diamond. Weighing .20 carat, this bright stone is artfully recessed into the heart of this lovely gem.

Combining two classics – a diamond pendant with a pearl pendant – this contemporary choice is ideal for daily wear. Originally priced at $2,165… we are now offering this stunner for the absolutely unbelievable price of just $975.00!

Wrapping up our Galatea feature is this incredibly unique ring. With arched backs and arms raised to the heavens, a pair of angels clasp a small white pearl between their hands. These winged beauties are positively resplendent with carved details… from the tips of their soft curls to the base of each pointed toe, these angels sing! A bright white diamond is bezel set within the center of the white pearl. This unusual ring was priced at $1,165 – but is now reduced to $710.00!

Just in time for the holidays, we have three truly special pieces – each one now offered at new and unbelievable pricing. Take advantage of these incredible offers…

Baubles, Bling, and Magnetic Things

Do you ever find yourself inexplicably drawn to something? It’s not your usual cup of tea… and yet. And yet, you go back, time and again. That’s how I feel about this strand of pearls from Galatea. Forty-two Tahitian pearls in varying shades of purplish gray comprise this most unusual necklace. The nacre (or outer coating) of each little bead has been intricately carved into a damask-like figure, each line curving into the next – the hollowed out grooves polished to a deep glow. Five small lines are etched into the base of each design, completing the endless pattern.

No two are exactly alike. The colors range from a pale greenish gray to a dark and rich purple hue – much like the wings of an insect. The ombre effect is dazzling. This princess length strand slides into the number three spot on my list of “gift worthy” pieces for the upcoming holiday season.

I love that it isn’t just another strand of pearls – these have personality. Even a little pizzazz. But at the same time, they’re classic and timeless. You could wear them with your apron in the kitchen, cooking Sunday dinner or you could wear them to the office. They would easily pair with a denim jacket or a little black dress. Versatility is everything and these babies have it in spades.

Now, check out this bit of magic! The hidden clasp is magnetic. Yep, you heard me. It’s magnetic! No tiny lever to pull on, no fishing one end into another. Just get the two pearls close to each other, and snap! They’re clasped. It could not be easier. Perfect for anyone’s hands… from the youngest to the oldest, no one can resist.

Priced at $4500, these colorful jewels of the ocean are sure to delight any of the ladies on Santa’s List. Go to our site and look, them come to Joden and touch.

Baubles, Bling, and Pearly Things

At Joden, our collection is vast and varied – it encompasses every time period, every price point, and every style. In our continued quest to provide the exceptional as well as the eccentric, we stumbled upon a modern marvel… Galatea. This company has taken a classic, the pearl, and further enhanced it’s inherent beauty.

Galatea is actually carving into the nacre (the layers of the pearl) to create stunning designs like this one… a 14 karat white gold pendant featuring an 11.5 mm pearl flower! Sparkling in the center of this blossom is a round brilliant diamond! This pendant is simply beautiful, and available now on our site for just $1500.00.

I love that this cutting-edge designer has taken two time-honored pieces of jewelry – a pearl necklace and a diamond pendant – and combined them in such a spectacular way. It’s the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe… make it yours today.

Go to our site and look, then come to Joden and touch.
