Today’s featured piece combines two of my favorite things… daisies and sapphires. My love affair with the bright and cheerful daisy goes back as far as I can remember. Be they Shasta, Gerbera or African – I adore them. With a bright and cheerful countenance, daisies are impossible to resist. Colors and hues for novices and connoisseurs alike, choose from luscious lavender, precious pink, ravenous red, youthful yellow and classic white. These natural beauties were bountiful at our wedding; they are even hand-engraved on my wedding band. Simple, yet symbolic, daisies represent everything from innocence and friendship to wisdom and tranquility. If you’ve overlooked this quaint flower in the past, give them a second thought. With more than 20,000 unique species – I guarantee there’s one that’s perfect for you.

Perhaps the ideal daisy for you is this pendant! Made entirely of 14-karat yellow gold, the pendant presents an eight-petaled blossom that measures almost an inch across. Each petal is formed from a precisely curved piece of wire. A shorter cut of wire is nestled within each curved petal that holds a four-pronged setting. That brings us to my second favorite thing featured in this pendant… first was the daisy, second is the sapphires. Blue is my favorite color… from the palest powder to the deepest midnight, there isn’t a shade that I don’t adore. These beauties are azure blue in color; all eight are set inside the pendant – one in each head. Combined, these sapphires have a weight of about .40 carat. This small pop of color adds an unexpected yet lovely detail to the necklace.

The final and central element of this unique pendant is the diamond center. It’s a transitional round cut stone that weighs approximately 1.65 carats. Bright and sparkling, it’s a G-H in color and a VS2-SI1 in clarity. I love this unusual twist on the classic diamond pendant! Complete with a fifteen-inch, 14-karat yellow gold serpentine chain, this botanical beauty is available for $10,150.00.

When Good Becomes Great

Baubles, Bling and Transformed Things

It’s no secret, I LOVE conversion jewelry. You might even say I’m conversion-crazed! Living in a throw-away society where each of us create almost 1600 pounds of trash per year, I love that we’re up-cycling and repurposing these broken or unworn pieces.

Some of my favorite transformations include:

Pins to pendants
Pins to Rings
Pins to Earrings
Stick Pins to Charms for Pendants and Charm Bracelets
Cufflinks to Earrings
Single Earrings to Pendants

There are endless options and countless reasons for re-imagining jewelry. Perhaps you inherited a brooch that isn’t your jam. Maybe you’ve been through a divorce and you want to do something with those rings. It could be that your style has changed over the years and you have a piece that needs a refresh. Whatever the case may be, don’t hesitate to take something old and create something new.

With the holidays on the horizon, the conversion case at Joden is brimming with all the latest revived treasures. We redesign 99% of these beauties here on the premises – but occasionally we buy a piece of jewelry that was already updated, like this platinum pendant.

The transformation is so well done that at first glance, you might think this lovely gem was always a necklace. It wasn’t until I turned it over that I was able to discern that it had once been something else entirely. The center section on the back side is concave. The gallery is perfectly contoured to lay flush with the finger… this Art Deco pendant used to be a ring. It isn’t often that someone takes a ring and changes it into something else. This beauty is an unusual example.

The craftsmanship is superb, featuring hand pierced openings and milgrain edges. Nestled in the center is an open-culet Old European Cut diamond. There are an additional twenty-four diamonds set in the outer edges – they are all single-cut stones. All diamonds have a combined weight of approximately .50 carat.

Although the original design sat like a square on the finger, I love that someone gave it a jaunty spin. The pendant dangles from one corner and slides on an 18-inch platinum cable chain. Priced at just $1,725.00, it’s available in the store. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this conversion diversion as much as I have!

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Featuring fabulous filigree from the tip of the bail to base of the pendant, this beauty is a new arrival – just in time for Mother’s Day! Priced at just $480, this early Art Deco gem has so much to offer. I love the elongated pear-shape… it’s perfect on the neck. The eighteen inch chain allows this piece to accentuate any neckline with a subtle shine and great presence but can also be easily switched to a shorter or longer chain; a flawless complement to whatever you’re wearing.

Intricate fine wire work creates unique design patterns and detail. Even the bail showcases a series of sweet swirls. A diagonal checkerboard layout shimmers in the background with a two bright stones nestled within. These Old European Cut diamonds have a combined weight of .18 carat – the ideal amount of sparkle. Dress it up or down… this will be your favorite summer accessory.

A true antique charmer with an unbeatable price – this pendant won’t last long. If you’re as enchanted as I am, pick up the phone or stop by our showroom and make it yours today!
